Straight out of the box: the Acer Liquid Z520 unit, charger, earphones, manual and the warranty
Acer Liquid Z520 surely has made a great impression when it comes to better mobile handling. The texture of the unit makes for a better grip, an otherwise usual issue with smartphones. The power and volume rocker are strategically placed on the right side of the phone giving the user yet an added convenience.

Acer must have focused on the build quality and design of the Liquid Z520. The back texture of the phone reinforces better grip and handling, definitely giving the phone a feel of durability and being less prone to scratches. The body is made of plastic but nothing of the cheap kind.

DTS Studio Sound baby! 🙂
Acer Liquid Z520
Capture! 🙂
Just to give you an idea how the Acer Liquid Z520 takes pictures on voice command.
The exact photo it took from that voice command. No filter. Just added the watermark. Pretty decent considering that I was multi-tasking two mobile phones.
Selfie!
Switches from rear camera to front camera on “Selfie” voice command. Neat! 🙂
The exact photo it took. No filter. I just added the watermark and cropped my face. 🙂 That’s 2MP front camera, considering the drape in our bedroom was half closed. Definitely, not bad.
Acer Liquid Z520 also has 3 distinct profiles for different age group users: Basic, Easy and Standard Modes. Acer Snap Note also allows for smart capturing as it enables the user to export slides on .jpg, .pdf and .ppt formats. Sharing presentations or screens was never this convenient and instant. Top notch features meets affordable price. Acer Liquid Z520 can go head to head with its competition in its price range P4,990.
Meanwhile, check out the Acer Philippines video on their advocacy against bullying.
That phone looks so cool. I like that it has a big screen.
Acer is a good brand. And that thing is a must for those who loves ‘selfie’.. Nice feature. Sad lang that wala akong plano na magkaroon nyan.
That is awesome, you can take selfie now with just a voice command. Love the bullying video as well.
Okay!!! after reading the post and seen the specs of this phone, I would say I want to exchange my iphone with this one. Cause other than the features it have which I like, i can upgrade its memory to the maximum capacity they have.
A phone that takes on voice command, that’s so high-tech! And it’s so affordable, too! Perfect for those who love taking selfies.
Wow! It does capture nice photographs. That’s the main thing I always look for in a smart phone. Good thing Acer Liquid Z520 has it! ^_^
