Acer Z200 Views And Specification:

Acer excels in the field of entry level smartphones.

After releasing Liquid Z3 and Z4, now is the time of Z200, a smartphone that is positioned more "entry" that the Z4. In August 2014, the Liquid Z200 is available at a price of 69 € SIM double (Duo) or single SIM.

Many colors are available, such as black, white, yellow, pink and blue sky.

The tested version is white and single SIM.

We'll see throughout this test is that the Z200 and if I recommend you to buy or not.

The best deals of the moment:

1. Aesthetic: elegant and well assembled

Certainly, Liquid Z200 has a frame and a plastic body but it is well designed and assembled with care.We can even say that it is stylish.

Acer Z200 1 Views:

Face / back:

A 4-inch screen, above which there is the Acer marking chrome letters and earpiece protected by a chrome grille.

Below, the 3 keys sensitive "return home and multitasking" (not backlit) and microphone input masked by a chrome grille.

No light sensor / proximity is noted and LED notifications.

Back / back:

A photo sensor (no LED flash) under which is the Acer Rapid button.

Below, the Acer logo hollow and the words "DTS Studio Sound".

The textured back cover can be removed to provide access to the battery and SIM slots and micro SD.

Acer Z200 3 Views:

Top side:

Jack 3.5.

Lower side:

A slot for removing the cover batterie.

Left side:

Rien.

Right side:

A micro USB port, the On / Off button and the volume button +/-.

The device has an excellent grip, due to its more than reasonable height: 126.5 x 65 x 10.3 mm.

It can easily slip into a pocket jeans, especially since it is fairly light 130 grams.

Flexion:

Although the Z200's design "all plastic", it is very rigid.

Pressure:

Corning Gorilla no glass or Dragontrail, so no protection against breakage or scratching.

However, the touchscreen does not bend under the stress exerted during the test.

A mobile design and taking into pleasant hand.

Image and sound: consistent

A low cost is recognized in general to the resolution of the screen. So do not expect here in HD Ready, and even less of Full HD.

Acer Z200 4 Views:

Screen:

A 4-inch screen WVGA resolution (480 x 800 pixels), which gives us a 233ppp density (Pixels Per Inch or PPI: Pixels Per Inch).

This is far from stunning, but the screen still offers good readability. This is in line with the asking price.

Touch screen:

It works perfectly. This is a multipoint capacitive slab.

Speaker, earphone jack 3.5:

Nothing wrong in terms of the earphone jack or even 3.5, which provide results that are acceptable and consistent with what one would expect from a mobile search.

The speaker shares the grid over the screen with the earpiece. The sound is very decent and relatively powerful for entry-level device.

We are far from wow effect, but still, one can listen to MP3 carefree and properly read her messages.

By cons, do not expect to properly watch videos on this mobile. Even minimal resolution, it stutters! The Z200 is definitely not made for that.

The second point of savings by a manufacturer to offer cheap mobile deals with the performance.

And inevitably, the Z200 is concerned ...

Antutu (v5): 8244 points. Clearly an entry-level score.

 quadrant:

     3.927 points. Here too, a score worthy of an entry-level smartphone.

     3D Mark (Ice Storm):

     1980 points.Un score proves that this mobile is not for playing games 3D.

It's not very bright, but it was due to modest components are double Mediatek processor core running at 1GHz MT6572M, Mali 400MP processor and 512MB of RAM.

As for the storage memory, was an acceptable 4GB which turns into 2GB available at the first start.
It's little, but fortunately, a micro SD slot will add some additional GB (card not included).
4. Connectivity: Satisfactory

For once, no stinginess on connectivity.
We are in the presence of a quadband GSM phone with a 3G connection (HSPA + to be precise).

Added to this are WiFi b / g / n, GPS / AGPS, micro USB 2.0, micro SD, 3.5 jack, Bluetooth 4.0 and FM radio.

 SAR (Specific Absorption Rate):

This is a "standard" which recovers the amount of waves from a telephone during operation (including calls). The higher the value, the greater the potential health risk (in case of long and repeated use) is high.The European Union therefore requires that all manufacturers wishing to market their products in the EU area does not exceed the "score" of 2W / kg. DAS Acer Liquid Z200 has not yet been determined, but the manufacturer communicates SAR (the equivalent of DAS in the USA). The Z200 SAR is 1.19 W / kg. The SAR is more restrictive, there likely that the DAS Liquid Z200 is less than 1 W / Kg.

Satisfactory connectivity:

While 4G and NFC are not in the game, it is a mobile that here shows one of his strengths.

What is also noteworthy because at this price level, there is still mobile competitors do not offer WiFi and rigor 3G connection.

Operating system:
Android overcoated slightly

Far from arriving in the overlay excessive (too present, too graphic, too heavy, too complex), Acer still tried to optimize and personalize the Google OS.

So here we have a system that has been customized by the Taiwanese manufacturer.

Acer Z200 5 Views:

Operating system:

Android 4.4.2 KitKat. A system fully functional and efficient. No complaints, especially as Google Play is installed by default and allows you to customize the smartphone.

Overlay manufacturer:
Yes, Acer has reworked the Google OS. This remains light, rather quiet and efficient, but we are lucky to have some nice additional features and simplified management methods for seniors sometimes, sometimes children.

A good operating system, judiciously edited by Acer, that is to say an efficient and far from falling into the over-abundance unpleasant unnecessary special effects.

Acer Z200 6 Views:

Liquid Z200 is a terminal that has good skills playing MP3 and even the use in radio mode.
As for the photo, it's pretty bad! And for 3D games more or less power, better to stay on 2D games. It will not bad!

Acer Z200 7 Views:

Camera:
A 2MP sensor (interpolated 3MP) without autofocus and no LED flash.
The Z200 photo function is symbolic. Just enough to change a wallpaper or send an MMS to amuse friends. There is also no front sensor: no Selfie or possible video.

Battery life:
A battery of 1300 mAh on a little greedy smartphone, it always gives a good autonomy.
We can easily reach forty hours of battery life.

So yes, it is a reasonable motive.
We can not ask him too, but on the other hand, it was what you would expect: a mobile capable of allowing us to properly listen to our favorite MP3, receive / send SMS / MMS, read his mails and especially calls.

Conclusion:

Nice And Cheap:
If you look for a cheap smartphone with a beautiful screen that allows you to call, send text messages, identify your emails and listen to MP3, the Liquid Z200 is for you.
Do not expect much, if not a little browsing on the Internet.

The Acer Liquid Z200 is absolutely not made for watching videos or playing 3D games, but overall, it's a good smartphone that I recommend to buy.
