One of many new devices that we’ve had the privilege of getting an early look at during this year’s Computex is the Acer Liquid X1. During that time though, the 5.7-inch handset still doesn’t have a price tag, until recently when Acer finally announced that Liquid X1 will be retailed for NT$7,990 or a little under twelve grand in our local currency.

Huawei Mobile has recently launched a toned-down version of the Honor 3C which is conveniently called Honor 3C Play Edition.

So as to not confuse anybody, the “Play Edition” moniker is just a coincidence (or a marketing gimmick, whichever you want to look at it) and doesn’t mean that this new wallet-friendly smartphone is actually a GPe device.

As for its specs, the Honor 3C Play comes with a 5-inch display with 720p resolution, a quad-core MediaTek processor with 1GB of RAM and has a generous 16GB of internal storage.
