Acer is the first in the world to offer 4K video recording on a mobile phone. Meet Acer Liquid S2. It has all the specs that you wanted for handset (at least for now) plus it can record video in 4K mode. Did I mention it offers the latest WiFi standard, 802.11ac? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Based on the PR, it is a smartphone to die for, with all the specs. However, I reserve my opinion until I touch it. Not sure if a small camera sensor with 4K recording is worth all the hype or not. In the mean while, check out the PR.<\/p>\n
