Review Acer Liquid E2 Duo Smartphone

[Redaktion]

Loyal everyday companion? For 250 euros the Liquid E2 Duo offers the rare Dual-SIM capability accompanied by a good configuration. This includes a bright 4.5 inch IPS display, a Mediatek MT 6589 SoC with integrated PowerVR SGX544 and 1 GB RAM. Also on board: A via microSD card extendable memory of 4 GB and Android 4.2. What is this mixture good for?

How many of the 4GB are available for apps?

I wonder whether this phone has something (hardware) in common with upcoming Fairphone (www.fairphone.com)

Before taking the sample pictures, did you remove the protective sheet off the camera lens? The pictures seem a bit too washed-out .

The commentary states that "No current game is able to trouble the test sample" and the phone has "pleasing application performance".  However the Rating figures gives numerical ratings of only 28% for games performance and 44% for application performance.  This appears to be inconsistent with the commentary.  Is the phone good or bad in these two areas?
