Acer shows off two new Android 4.0 phones

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 25 Aug 2012 1:14 User comments (4)

Acer has launched two new Android 4.0-based smartphones, the Liquid Gallant and the Gallant Duo.

The phones have the same specs, and both are decent low-end devices.

Featuring a 4.3-inch qHD display, the Gallant and Gallant Duo have a 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage, microSD compatibility and a 5MP rear camera. Each also features a 1500mAH battery and dual-LED flash.

The Gallant Duo gets its name thanks to a dual-SIM card design.

Coming in two colorways, 'Gentle Black' and 'Ceramic White,' the devices will go on sale in September for yet unknown prices.

Hardly groundbreaking or exciting; pretty average specs for a newly announced phone that will slot into the 'joe bloggs' market.

What you can count on though is hardware quality like any other Asus product. It does matter. Apparently Apple never bothers about this. My daughter's iTunes went out and was replaced twice but after the 1 year warranty was over it went into the dust bin.
