Acer has released its latest smartphone, called Liquid Zest Plus, ahead of the Computex 2016, which is currently ongoing in Taiwan until June 4. The 5,000 mAh battery-equipped smartphone will arrive in North America in July and sell for US$199.

The Acer Liquid Zest Plus's impressive offering does not end with its humongous battery, which is said to last up to three days and can be quickly charged up to 50 percent in less than an hour, or its very enticing price tag. The latest smartphone also offers impressive camera features. The company has equipped their latest smartphone with "an ultra-fast hybrid tri-focusing system which intelligently focuses various scenes in 0.03 seconds" with its 13MP main camera. It also comes with "Pause-N-Shoot" selfie feature that will respond to a simple shake from its user. This is aside from the automatic face-detection of its 5MP front-facing camera with an 85-degree shooting angle.

Additionally, the Acer Liquid Zest Plus offers a 5.5-inch IPS HD display screen that gives a 720 x 1280 screen resolution and is loaded with a MediaTek MT6735 processor with a Mali-T720 GPU. It also comes with a 2GB RAM, 16GB internal storage and a microSD slot for an extra storage space.

The Android Marshmallow smartphone is also featuring dual-SIM capability, LTE, FM Radio and BluelightShield technology, which will help minimize blue light emissions coming from its display screen during the night. Music aficionados will also appreciate the DTS-HD Premium Sound and 3D audio feature that the phone can offer, and the FlipUI will work flawlessly with its optional flip case. It is also featuring a USB OTG (On-The-Go) technology that will let its user charge other device.

The Acer Liquid Zest Plus will be offered in two colors, Moroccan Blue and Andes White. European countries can also expect to see the phone's arrival any time in July, with a starting price of €199.
