Acer Rejoins The Canadian Smartphone Market With Three Unlocked Offerings
Acer has been a little bit absent in the Canadian smartphone market for a little while now… well maybe a little while is a bit of an understatement. Their last phone to launch in Canada was the Liquid MT and that launched way back in 2024! Well they are back and they have a trio of offerings for us Canadians including the Liquid S1, Liquid Z5, and Liquid Z3. Let’s break down the specs for you:
Liquid S1:
- 5.7″ 1280×720 Resolution Display
- 1.5GHz Quad-Core Cortex-A7 MediaTek Processor
- 1GB RAM
- 8GB Internal Storage
- microSD Card Slot
- 8MP Camera
- 2MP Front Facing Camera
- 2400 mAh Battery
- $379
Liquid Z5:
- 5″ 480×854 Resolution Display
- 1.3GHz Dual-Core Cortex A-7 MediaTek Processor
- 512MB RAM
- 4GB Internal Storage
- microSD Card Slot

Liquid Z3:
- 3.5″ 320×480 Resolution Display
- 1GHz Dual-Core Cortex-A7 MediaTek Processor
- 512MB RAM

None of these devices are going to be challenging any flagship devices but they’re decent offering and they do have one plus on their side. All three devices will come factory unlocked and will work with any of the major carriers and their subsidiary brands. Unfortunately, the prices are still a tad on the high side especially now that devices like the Moto G and Moto E are making their way into the market.
If you are interested in picking up one of these offerings from Acer, they are currently available through Staples and Canada Computers. Other retailers may also pick up the device down the road.
