as we wrap up Etha 2014 we have one more smartphone to show you from the show floor in Berlin from a brand we don't see all that often in the United States let's take a look at a review device from Acer the new liquid Jade the liquid Jade is a mid-range Android smartphone with its primary setoffs being extreme lightweight and a low-profile feel in the pocket when we popped open the box we found the usual offerings in terms of literature and accessories with the high point of course being the earbuds we're always pleased to see included for no additional cost the Jade itself resembles an iPhone 3G with its super glossy back panel remember that phone but at 110 grams and 7.5 millimeters thick with sharply tapered edges it's much slimmer and lighter than most mid-range Android phones something helps along by the super thin bezels as well Acer's distinctive circular style touch is present here too with earpiece Dolby speaker port and the protruding 13 megapixel camera rounding out the situation somewhat the display is an IPS panel plenty bright enough for Android 4.4 and driven by a mediatek processor and a gig of ram and there's microSD support for fleshing out the eight gigs of internal storage - how well the 2100 milliamp hour battery lasts under that load isn't clear but we'll have more thoughts after we spend some more time with this device the liquid Jade launches in Europe later this September for a full rundown of every mobile device we got our hands on it even 2014 check out PocketNow weekly episode 112 published just today and stay tuned for our Eva 2014 wrap-up coming later this week til next time this has been michael fisher with taylor martin for pocket now from Berlin we'll see you soon
