Acer Announces the Liquid Gallant and Gallant Duo

After already accidentally making an appearance on their website, Acer has officially announced the Liquid Gallant, and Liquid Gallant Duo. Basically the same except, as the name suggests, the Duo is a dual-SIM device.

Details for both phones include a 4.3-inch qHD display, a 1GHz processor, 1GB RAM, 4GB internal storage, and a 5-megapixel camera. Running the most recent version Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.4), the phones are rounded out with the typical Wi-Fi (b/g/n), Bluetooth 3.0, GPS, and microSD expansion. On the software front, Acer has largely left the phone with stock Android, adding only an enhanced lock screen, improved notifications, and preinstalling Swype, plus the Polaris Office Viewer.

The Liquid Gallant Duo is expected to arrive in September, followed by the by the Liquid Gallant, with both offered in Gentle Black and Ceramic White color options. According to Engadget, pre-orders for the dual-SIM model have been available since July with a £149 ($230) off contract price tag. Acer advises in the press release that they will have both models on display at IFA later this month.

About Web Ninja

I am an avid web designer and technology compelled me into journalism. My career started out with a blog about how to hack your Windows PC, but it developed into my love for Apple (which is now nonexistent). Before I was introduced to Android I was an Apple fanboy, I loved anything apple, iPhones, iPods, Macs, etc. Then, I was in Best Buy with a friend and he was buying a phone... An Android phone running Cupcake (1.6). He wasn't the techiest friend a guy could have, but he still loved technology. Now, this was a new phone at the time and of course, he had to get it. I thought the phone was going to be a ripoff of an iPhone but, soon I realized that it had potential. That's how my Android love developed. I currently own a Samsung Galaxy S2 from Sprint as well as an HTC Thunderbolt for Verizon.
