Acer Liquid Jade S Smartphone Review

With a new and improved MediaTek MT6752 CPU – clocked at 1.5GHz – we hoped that this new processor, as well as 2GB of RAM, would give significantly better results than the original Liquid Jade S. It is safe to say we were not disappointed.

The performance increase from using the octa-core processor was immediately noticeable. Apps opened very speedily, and the general system was very responsive. Multi-tasking proved no problem, and games ran smooth as can be. The Liquid Jade was sluggish and irritatingly laggy. The Liquid Jade S has banished all those problems in one fell swoop.

For our tests, we ran Geekbench 3 first, and were very pleasantly surprised. It scored 714 for single-core performance, and huge 3455 for multi-core performance. This is mightily impressive for a £229 phone. The multi-core score is also 3 times higher than the Liquid Jade – which scored 350 and 1081, respectively.

Ice Storm Unlimited also showed how much faster the new MediaTek MT6752 CPU is than the quad-core MT6582 used in the original Liquid Jade. The Liquid Jade S scored 9382, miles ahead of the 2844 the Liquid Jade posted.

Clearly, the octa-core unit from MediaTek is a high performer, and is very impressive for the relatively low price.
