The handset went official at the beginning of this month with a 5" FWVGA (480 x 854) display, dual-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 MediaTek MT6572 processor, 512 MB of RAM, Mali-400 GPU and Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.

It sports a simple UI mode (Quick Modes), which is for smartphone newcomers and fits just a basic grid of apps and options to play with. The UI uses a tiled design reminiscent of Windows Phone quite a bit.

The Liquid Z5 is available in single and dual-SIM with dual stand-by flavors as is the norm for Acer handsets.
