BEIJING, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Frbiz.com, one of China’s leading B2B search platforms with more than 30 B2B industry websites to its name, evaluates the Acer E101 touch-screen mobile phone.
The Acer E101 smart phone is now the lowest priced product on the market, and can be available online for only GBP165. Obviously, in order to reduce its price, product performance has seen many places reductions, but the problem is that these changes will not affect the use of the product.
Looking at the product’s appearance, the E101 feel very cheap and is made of a plastic material. There is no iPhone and Nokia E52 type solidness, but the design of the battery shell is very solid. Its size is 113 x 56 x 12.8mm, weight 118g, and the overall design is very smooth, mainly because the side design is very simple. However, fortunately it does not like previous Acer mobile phones with extra buttons around. The phone has a power button at the top, voice control key and lock key on the left, while the right is the mobile phone camera shortcut key, but this camera is only 2 million-pixel camera, and the left side has a touch pen.
The overall design has nothing new, but there are some changes in front of the keys, before the common keys, E101 uses a touch-scroll wheel design that feels like the iPod Classic touch keys, so you can move up or down switch to a different menu. At the same time when this button is clicked, you can also use the regular arrow keys as the method of operation; on the whole, the touch wheel is very useful and has positive effect. The arrow keys surrounded by four commonly used buttons: menu, back, and two function keys, although they look like touch keys, they are in fact only general keys and the reaction is also good.
The Acer phone uses the Qualcomm MSM 7225 processor, and has a fixed frequency of 528MHz, the same as the HTC a year ago, as used in Android and Windows phones. Of course this cannot be compared to the high-end Acer S200 using 1GHz Snap Dragon CPU, running speed to be slower. Its memory has 256MB of RAM and 512MB of ROM, and if you want to increase the phone’s storage space users can be purchase a separate memory card. The micro CD slot is hidden in the phone’s right side.
The E101 has a 3.2-inch touch screen, and the performance of this is particularly bad. The resolution is only 240 x 400, and even for mobile phones in this price range, this is poor. LCD technology is now very good, but for this product its still so poor it is very difficult to accept. And the color screen is very dull, feels the mobile phone is very cheap, the screen response speed is very slow when you scroll and the latency is obvious.
The phones connection is very weak, even compared with 2G mobile phones. This phone is only GPRS and EDGE, and you can use them to browse the Web or send and receive mail, but the wireless feature is not supported, so data exchanges can only happen via the EDGE and GPRS. The result is that its browsing speed is very slow; even with YouTube, the speed is difficult to be accepted, prior to the visit taking a very long time to buffer.
The phone comes with GPS functionality, but GPS is very slow, even if users pre-download data the speed still dose not increase, and this may be due to the phone using an old version of a GPS chip ( http://www.frbiz.com/consumer-electronics/el_products.html ).
However, the advantages of the E101 include call quality is very good, either through headphones or through speakers the sound is very clear, but the quality is lost a little when the volume is set to maximum. Also, standby time is the same with some more expensive smart phones, and under normal circumstances the E101 can keep power for a period of about two days, including some calls; browse the internet and the use of GPS. The phone has a mini-USB port that can be used for charging and data exchange, but it has been the standard design for most mobile phones, while the interface converter can also connect headphones, because it has not the standard 3.5mm headphone jack.
Frbiz believes that the Acer beTouch E101’s appearance looks very attractive, but when you use, you will feel disappointed, and there are many places far below the present level of smart phone in the market. But the price is really cheap.
