When we hear the names Asus and Lenovo, the first thing that usually comes to mind is their range of laptops. However, these companies are into manufacturing smartphones as well. Giving this trend a continuity, Acer (a well-known laptop brand) is soon joining the world of smartphones. Yes, Acer is launching a phone! Let’s get into the depth of this news.
Here’s everything we know
Even though we know Acer is launching a phone, we are still unaware of the specifications it will carry. But one thing for sure is this new device will be launched this March 25 in India. We got to know this because the company has set up a promotional page on Amazon.in, featuring the tagline “The Next Horizon,”. However, the teaser offers no clues about the name or the number of smartphones that Acer plans to unveil during the event.

Partnership with Indkal
This does not come all of a sudden. Back in July 2024, Indkal Technologies announced a partnership with Acer to bring Acer-branded smartphones to India. Initially, the phone was planned for a 2024 release, but due to some reasons, the idea got rescheduled. After a year, the company is finally preparing to make its official announcement in the coming weeks. Moreover, the same partnership with Indkal Technologies also suggests that this handset from Acer will be priced between INR 15,000 and INR 50,000. This means that the company is targeting both the budget and premium midrange lineups.
Acer’s Acerpure brand
Back in January, two models of Acer branded smartphones, named Acerone Liquid S162E4 and Acerone Liquid S272E4, were listed on Acer India’s official website under the Acerpure brand.
The listings mention features like a MediaTek Helio P35 processor, a 5,000mAh battery, an HD+ display, up to a 20MP camera, 4G support, and Android 14. There are no clues that tell us that this is the phone launching on March 25, but maybe….maybe it is. Looks like we will have to wait a few more days to know the real story.
