Acer Working on The Liquid S Quad-Core Powered Phablet

Acer is looking to create its very own phablet dubbed the Liquid S according to some clues left behind in an interview. Mobile World Congress (MWC) took place February 25th through 28th and the Taiwanese manufacturer had a small showing with devices such as the Liquid E1, a 4.5 inch Android smartphone running Jelly Bean.
In an interview for the official MWC paper, the President of Acer’s smartphone business hinted at an upcoming phablet:

“Unlimited exploration: the line between tablet and phone is blurring, a new breed of smartphone, the Phablet, is an irreversible trend to create new lifestyles. With above 4.7″ and quad-core+ processors, those giants offer extremely high resolution for multi-tasking, gaming, browsing and more. Acer will launch its Liquid S series as part of this growing segment.”

The company doesn’t currently have a phablet on the market and the Liquid S will be their first ever quad-core phone. Specs for such a device are non-existent at the moment and one has to take into question Acer’s definition of a phablet. There are more than a couple of Android phones currently available with screens larger than 4.7 inches. For example, the Samsung Galaxy S III has a 4.8 inch screen and the HTC DROID DNA has a 5-inch display. Depending on who’s holding it, they probably wouldn’t quality as a phablets.
