Acer Liquid Jade Z Review

Acer Liquid Jade Z Review Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Acer Ac Adapter
The decision of whether to buy a budget phone like Acer's Liquid Jade Z ($250) comes down to choosing which compromises you can live with and which ones you can't. In many areas, the Jade Z proves to be just good enough, producing decent pictures and exhibiting acceptable, if subpar, performance. But in one critical area — battery life — the Jade Z just can't measure up to similarly priced smartphones.
At 5.65 x 2.7 x 0.31 inches, the Liquid Jade Z is roughly the same size as other 5-inch phones with battery like Acer Aspire One 521 AC Adapter, Acer Aspire One 533 AC Adapter, Acer Ferrari One 200 AC Adapter, Acer Aspire One D260 AC Adapter, Acer Aspire One D255 AC Adapter, Acer TravelMate 8172 AC Adapter, Acer Aspire 1680 AC Adapter, Acer Aspire 1825PT AC Adapter, Acer Aspire 1551 AC Adapter, Acer Aspire 4551 AC Adapter, Acer Aspire 4552 AC Adapter, Acer Aspire 4730 AC Adapter. It's 0.15 inches taller and marginally thicker than the Motorola Moto G and the Alcatel Onetouch Idol 3. But in terms of size, there's little to distinguish the Jade Z from its competition.
That is, until you pick up the 3.88-ounce phone and realize how light it is. While other phones don't outweigh the Jade Z by that much — Alcatel's Onetouch Idol 3 comes the closest, at 4.3 ounces, while the Moto G weighs in at a comparatively light 5.45 ounces — Acer's phone feels nearly weightless in your hand and sits almost unnoticed in your pocket.
Credit the phone's plastic case for that light feel. Unfortunately, it also lends the Jade Z a pretty cheap aesthetic that makes it feel almost like a toy phone. Stack it alongside the stylish glass Onetouch Idol X (also $249), and there's no question as to which phone has the more striking look. (Hint: It's not the Jade Z.)
The phone's tapered edges make it feel as if it might squirt out of my hands at any moment. Fortunately, the plastic back has a threaded texture that offers some degree of grip, so that's one advantage of the phone's plasticky appearance.
Even Acer wouldn't argue that the 5-inch display's 1280 x 720 resolution offers a feast for the eyes, but the screen is good enough for users who don't demand visually stunning looks. From watching trailers on YouTube to streaming movies on Netflix, I never had a hard time making out details or viewing the action unfolding on the Jade Z's screen.
hat said, the Jade Z can't match either the brightness or the colors produced by rival phones. Using a light meter, we measured the Jade Z's screen at 328 nits — brighter than the OnePlus X (295 nits), but noticeably dimmer than the average smartphone (408.5 nits) and badly outshone by the comparably priced Onetouch Idol 3 (736 nits).
The Jade Z can reproduce only 89.4 percent of the sRGB color spectrum. That number should be closer to 100 percent, and indeed, the average smartphone scores 115.4 percent in our tests. The colors the Jade Z does produce are accurate, at least: It tallied a Delta-E error reading of 1.11. That's not as good as the Moto G's color accuracy (0.85), but it's certainly better than the average smartphone's score of 3.26.
