Acer designs the Liquid E2 with media enthusiasts in mind, featuring a quad core processor, DTS Audio, 1080p recording, an FM receiver and much more.
Most of us use our phones for their everyday purposes, but for those who require just a bit more in terms of media performance, Acer has now brought out the Liquid E2. The phone is packed with a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor, but only 1 GB of RAM and 4 GB of internal storage. The phone’s RAM and storage size alone is enough to put off potential users, but the prices make up for it: only $299 for a single SIM model and $330 for a dual SIM model.
The larger 4.5-inch screen features an IPS panel of 960 x 540 pixels, and the mobile connection is an HSPA+, allowing for a theoretical transfer of 42 mbps. With an 8 megapixel camera that can record in 1080p at 30 fps, and the dual speakers with DTS sound support, this phone is suited for HD videos. Measuring 131 x 68 x 10 mm and weighing 140 grams, the phone is comfortably small, with a respectable 2000 mAh battery. Other specs include 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0 +EDR, FM-receiver, GPS, accelerometer, e-compass, light sensor and proximity sensor. Lastly, coupled with a micro-USB port, Acer makes up for the lack of storage through a Micro-SD expansion slot for internal memory.

Honestly, at that price, you're better off getting the Lenovo S890 which is only USD230 where I live with almost completely similar specs, aside from the Core count, which is 2 instead of 4
Or...and this is just, a RADICAL and crazy idea....go buy a Nexus 4 for the same price, which has a better screen, more RAM, better support, the latest Android updates, larger battery, etc.
