Acer has just confirmed the existence of the Acer Liquid Gallant, a large 4.3″ model that’ll arrive this September running Android 4.0. The big display is only backed by a single-core 1GHz processor, though, which is a bit of a shame, but that has at least allowed Acer to keep the price low. It’s expected to sell for sub-£150.
The Liquid Gallant also includes a 1,500mAh battery, 5megapixel main camera, 1GB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage along with SD card expansion support. The Liquid Gallant Duo is the same phone, only with two SIM slots
These images come via retailer Expansys, which is listing both black and white models of the twin-SIM Duo. And here’s the thing from Acer:
