The Taiwanese Acer wants to bet heavily on the European market. This was indicated by the person in charge of the mobile phone division during a conference. In addition, Liu Sitai, also gave a number of teams with which he wants to surprise the European market during this same year 2013.
Acer, a company that is present "" and in a good position "" in the laptop sector. In addition, it is one of the companies that opted to enter the direct war with the Microsoft tablet, Microsoft Surface, and has different models with Windows 8 on the market. Moreover, if everything goes according to what has been known in recent days, Acer will be one of the manufacturers that also have in their catalog of offers tablets with Windows 8 smaller than 10 inches. For example, just take a look at the Acer Iconia W3, which will presumably be very affordable.
However, the sector of smart phones has it somewhat more neglected. But they want to remedy: this year they want to present between six and seven advanced terminals to reach Europe. In the words of the person in charge, and which the DigiTimes publication has echoed, they will leave aside, for the moment, the Chinese market where mid-range or low-end mobiles are selling well.
Hence, among the expansion plans is the old continent, where brands such as ZTE or Huawei are taking their share of the pie, gaining, more and more, market share. And one of the first bets that have been presented is the Acer Liquid E2, a quad-core smartphone that would come with a very affordable price. Something similar to what the French brand Archos has done with its new range of terminals.
What would this team offer? First of all, a 4.5-inch screen, multi-touch type that recognizes all gestures. On the other hand, the processor, of which there is no technical data, will be quad-core. And knowing that it will be an economic model "" price around 250 euros "", it could be suggested that the processor could be the result of the MediaTek company.
The main camera would get an eight mega- pixel sensor, while the front one would reach two mega-pixels of resolution. And all this will be piloted by Google's mobile platform, Android 4.1 aka Jelly Bean . The arrival of this smartphone to several European countries, among which is Spain, would be for the month of May.
Now, of the rest of the teams there is no news. Although among them you could see both models based on Android, as some of them based on the latest Microsoft icons, Windows Phone 8, where Nokia is the maximum exponent of the market and offers different solutions, both for demanding users such as the Nokia Lumia 920, as for users who settle for more affordable equipment, but with an unbeatable quality / price ratio. We are talking about the Nokia Lumia 520.
