Acer Acerone Liquid S262F5

The Acer Acerone Liquid S262F5 has a non-folding, non-rugged design measuring 171mm tall, 77.8mm wide, and 8.9mm thick, with a total volume of 118.40382 cm³ and a weight of 202.8g. It carries an IP54 ingress protection rating, making it water resistant against splashes and light exposure. The build prioritizes a slim, everyday form factor without reinforced rugged features.

The display on the Acer Acerone Liquid S262F5 is a touchscreen 6.76″ IPS LCD panel with a resolution of 720 x 1640 px and a pixel density of 265 ppi, paired with a 90Hz refresh rate for smoother on-screen motion. The screen is protected by Gorilla Glass 5, offering resistance against everyday scratches and drops. It does not support HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision, and there is no Always-On Display mode or secondary screen.

The Acer Acerone Liquid S262F5 is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6400, a 6nm chipset with integrated LTE, a big.LITTLE CPU configuration running two cores at 2.5GHz and six cores at 2GHz, and an Arm Mali-G57 MC2 GPU clocked at 950MHz with support for DirectX 12 and a single display output. The chip supports 64-bit processing and multithreading, and is paired with 8GB of DDR4 RAM running at 2133MHz, delivering a maximum memory bandwidth of 17.1GB/s. Storage comes in at 128GB internally, and integrated graphics are handled directly on the SoC.

The rear camera system on the Acer Acerone Liquid S262F5 is a triple-lens setup combining a 64MP main sensor, an 8MP lens, and a 2MP lens, all using a CMOS sensor without back-side illumination. Autofocus options include phase-detection and touch autofocus as well as continuous autofocus during video recording, though laser autofocus is not present. Manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, while optical zoom is not available and RAW capture is not supported. The main camera records video at 1080p/30fps with slow-motion support, but does not record in HDR10 or Dolby Vision; a single LED flash is included, with no dual-tone or RGB flash. Additional shooting modes include HDR, burst, and in-camera panorama, though 360° panorama and 3D recording are absent. The 16MP front camera is a single-lens unit positioned conventionally — not under the display — and has no front-facing flash.

The Acer Acerone Liquid S262F5 runs Android 16, a free and open-source platform that supports multiple user accounts, on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, and voice commands. Privacy tools include clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access controls, and the ability to block app tracking, though cross-site tracking blocking and Mail Privacy Protection are not available. Customization is well covered through dynamic theming, theme customization, dark mode, an extra dim mode, home screen widgets, and customizable notifications, while focus modes and Wi-Fi password sharing are absent. On the productivity side, the OS supports split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page scrolling screenshots, a media picker, sharing intents, Live Text selection in images, and the ability to offload apps to free up space. Games can be played while still downloading, and a child lock and phone tracking feature are also present. Direct OS updates from the vendor are not provided, and Quick Start is not supported.

The Acer Acerone Liquid S262F5 houses a 5000 mAh rechargeable, non-removable battery with a built-in battery level indicator, and a charger is included in the box. Neither wireless charging nor fast charging is supported, and reverse wireless charging is also absent.

The audio configuration of the Acer Acerone Liquid S262F5 is notably limited — it lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack, stereo speakers, and a built-in radio. On the wireless audio side, none of the advanced Bluetooth codec standards are supported, with aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, and LDAC all absent.

The Acer Acerone Liquid S262F5 supports 5G connectivity with a maximum download speed of 3300 Mbit/s, and accommodates two SIM cards alongside an external memory slot for expandable storage. Wireless connectivity covers Wi-Fi 4, Wi-Fi 5, and Wi-Fi 6E, while Bluetooth 5.2 handles short-range connections. The device uses a USB Type-C port running USB 2.0, and NFC is not included. For biometric security, a fingerprint scanner is present, though 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are not. Onboard sensors include a gyroscope, accelerometer, GPS, compass, and Galileo satellite support, while a barometer, infrared sensor, heart rate monitor, and motion or optical tracking are all absent. Features such as DLNA certification, ANT+ support, HDMI output, crash detection, emergency SOS via satellite, and a built-in projector are not available, and no stylus is included.

The Acer Acerone Liquid S262F5 includes a video light for illumination during video recording, while the display is flat and standard — neither curved nor e-paper, and sapphire glass is not used for screen protection.
