Acer Liquid S2 smartphone with 4K video capture - [mobile] 01:27 AM EDT - Sep,13 2013 - post a comment Adding to the line of the phablet market is the Acer Liquid S2. The smartphone comes in with something we're seeing for the first time in this segment of devices, 4K resolution video grabs. Now, ultra-high-definition video does have its demand met by bigger screens but the 6-inch phone we saw at IFA in Berlin this week had us bedazzled. It offers a Gorilla Glass display at 368 ppi, records videos at up to 60 frames per second, offers slow motion 4 times slower (take that you new Apple phones), offers a 13-megapixel f2.2 camera with profile settings, a panorama shot of up to 27-megapixels and a powerful LED flash ring on the rear. Up front, there's a 2-megapixel 1080p camera on the front for video chat. Besides the shutterbug delights we have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor clocked at 2.2GHz, 2GB of RAM, 4G data speeds of up to 150Mbps, Wi-Fi 802.11 ac, NFC, GPS, a digital compass, 16GB memory, memory card expansion up to 128GB (for the ultra HD videos), Android 4.2.2 and apps including Polaris Office, Swype for typing without taking your finger off the screen, and Evernote. It will be available at the end of October for a yet-undisclosed price.
