Infinix NOTE 50 Pro Review
Last month, we reported about the Liquid C1 which is Acer’s first smartphone to be powered by an Intel Atom processor. We finally got our hands on one so check out our first impressions after the break.
The Acer Liquid C1 is actually the first Intel-based Android smartphone to be marketed here in the Philippines. It has a 4.3-inch qHD (540 x 960) display with a good pixel density of 256 ppi. Although it utilizes an IPS technology the viewing angles are not as good as the ones found on most high-end smartphones. On the plus side, the display is sharp and has good color reproduction.
Found on top of the display is the metallic earpice and VGA front-facing camera. Down below are three capacitive buttons and microphone. Surrounding the glass is the bezel with a ceramic-like finish and a curved chamfer similar to the one found on the Lenovo A800. The sides, on the other hand, are covered in a silver chrome strip. Located on the left side is the microUSB port. On the right is the volume rocker. The headset jack and power/lock button right on top.
Take a look of it’s backside and you’ll notice the dimpled backplate with a rubber-like finish. Also found here is the 8 megapixel AF camera with LED flash, the Acer and Intel logo, and the speaker. Overall, the Liquid C1 feels solid while the textured back feels good in the hands and adds some extra grip.
As for the OS, the Liquid C1 currently runs Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich. No word on Jellybean update yet but judging from our quick hands-on, the single-core 1.2GHz Atom Z2420 Lexington processor and 1GB of RAM did well in keeping things running smoothly. Watch the quick hands-on video below:

Ronn says:
Nice, I want one! :) sana mid-range lang ang price!
Justin says:
Benchmarks, please!
David Z says:
Given the specs, to say at least P10K is probably too cheap. Make it P12-13K at best.
Still, any lower than P12K (if ever) is arguably good coming from a brand. :)
ciu says:
this is a single core phone so pricing over 10k is ridiculously high.
Princeton says:
Hi sir Yuga, compatible ba lahat ng apps dito. kasi may nabasa ako na article regarding incompatibility with apps dahil intel processor sya(unit was Motorola RAZR i XT890 which uses Intel Atom Z2460).
FMZ says:
next, Solid X1 will have i7 proc.
Nico zarris says:
Still waiting for Intel i5 or i7 for phone. :)
Miss Pinky Heart says:
Waiting for an Intel Xeon or AMD Opteron based phone w/ 5″ 4K Diamond Glass Screen, 16GB RAM, 5TB of storage and made from Gold-Titanium alloy.
