Taiwanese IT company Acer has recently launched the Acer Liquid Jade for the Indian market. The smartphone has been priced at Rs 20,000.

As the name says, the company describes the phone as, “7.5 mm thinness plus curved ergonomic surfaces all around allow the Liquid Jade to rest comfortably in your hand. The curved Corning Gorilla Glass display perfectly highlights the tough yet exquisite construction of the Liquid Jade.”

Awkward power button: It is tough to reach

The phone has very poor quality selfie camera
