Design and Display
This one here is a beautiful piece of hardware with an appealing curved design. Although a behemoth, the Acer Liquid Jade 2 should make for comfortably handling, especially for adult users.
The curvy feel is enhanced by a piece of 2.5D glass laid over the huge 5.5-inch display.
Acer Liquid Jade 2 has a brushed effect on its rear panel making it look premium like one made of metal. The sharp AMOLED display provided has a resolution of 1,080 x 1,920 pixels.
The crisp screen promises spectacular viewing and Acer says it supports 100% NTSC colour gamut.
Camera
Buyers should expect in the Acer Liquid Jade 2 a device that is designed, at least on paper, for exciting photography. It packs a very powerful 21-megapixel shooter with fast phase detection autofocus and dual-LED flash on the rear.
This camera can be used to record stunning 4K videos. For selfies, you are provided another impressive 8-megapixel snapper with an 84-degree wide-angle lens and automatic face detection.
Hardware and Software
Under the hood, the Acer Liquid Jade 2 carries the same hexa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor seen on the Jade Primo.
The powerful CPU is backed by ample 3 GB of RAM for smooth multitasking. Onboard storage has a capacity of 32 GB, expandable with a microSD card. Acer touts the phablet as having up to 1 TB of hybrid storage – the remainder is cloud-based.
Just like most new devices at MWC 2016, the Acer Liquid Jade 2 boots the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system.
The phablet is configured to pump out rich virtual surround sound via any pair of headphones with the assistance of DTS Headphone:X technology. DTS Play-Fi is also available for immersive audio streaming.

Acer Liquid Jade 2 is not yet available in Nigeria. When available, you can buy it at leading online stores in the country. Acer Liquid Jade 2 Price in Nigeria is expected to range from N50,000 to N75,000 depending on your location in Nigeria.
