Looking at its specs sheet, the newly launched Acer Liquid Jade seem like an able contender in the midrange segment, that is if you discount the fact that it actually cost almost fifteen grand.
At that price point, it’ll be difficult for Acer’s new 5-inch smartphone to go toe-to-toe with cheaper, and sometime more powerful, smartphones in the local scene.
