The Acer Liquid Zest Plus and its 5,000mAh battery set to launch in July at a price of $199

Acer has just announced that the recently-unveiled Acer Liquid Zest Plus will be priced at $199 when the handset is released this July.

Last month in New York, Acer announced a new Android smartphone called the Liquid Zest Plus. One of the main highlights of the phone is its gargantuan battery, a 5,000mAh unit that should easily last throughout the day even with intense data consumption. In fact, Acer claims that the device will be able to keep the lights on for three days on a single charge with moderate use. Furthermore, the battery comes with fast charging abilities, an indispensable feature considering the large capacity of the battery.

Gargantuan battery aside, the Acer Liquid Zest Plus comes with mid-range specs that include a 5.5-inch IPS display running at the modest resolution of 720 by 1280 and a MediaTek MT6735 chipset with a quad-core CPU. In the memory department, the Zest Plus is equipped with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of expandable integrated storage space.

As far as the cameras are concerned, the Acer Liquid Zest Plus features a 13MP primary camera as well as a 5MP selfie sensor on the front. Other specs include Android 6.0 Marshmallow, an LTE Cat 4 modem, and DTS sound.

It will be interesting to get the Acer Liquid Zest Plus in our lab. We're particularly interested in the battery life of the handset: could this be the mid-range smartphone that breaks our daily wall-hugging habit?
