Acer Liquid E2 battery life test

The Acer Liquid E2 also known by its V370 alias has come to our office sporting a very respectable spec sheet for a very reasonable price. It has an 8 MP camera on the back, quad-core CPU with four Cortex-A7 cores, 1 GB of RAM and a 4.5″ display of qHD (960 x 540) resolution.

All of that is powered by a 2000 mAh battery and we decided to check out just how much juice the Acer Liquid E2 has before it goes under and to do that we put it through our rigorous mix of calling, browsing and watching video, coupled with an overnight stand-by to determine what sort of endurance rating the Liquid E2 has.

We start you off with calling. Here the Liquid E2 capped an 11:07h performance, putting it around the middle of our table, just above the Exynos-powered Galaxy S4 – a pretty solid result.

Web browsing is safely the Acer’s best result as it managed to top the LG G2′s 11:22 by a whole hour and 17 minutes to claim the title. With 12:39 hours under its belt the Acer Liquid E2 is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to web browsing endurance and would surely last enough if you’re big on mobile browsing.

Video playback is an enjoyable affair on the Acer’s 4.5″ display, even at this resolution. Here the Liquid E2 didn’t quite live up to standards putting in a 7:30 hour shift of mobile video watching. That’s by no means a bad result but is one that doesn’t really shake the status quo at the top of our chart.

When we add up the numbers with the stand-by of the Acer Liquid E2 we get an endurance rating of 60 hours. That’s the how long it would take the Acer Liquid E2 to deplete its battery if you do an hour of calling, browsing and watching video a day, and it certainly is a great score by the likeable mid-ranger.

So at its reasonable price along with the competent sheet of specs the Acer Liquid E2 completes a good battery test and managed to convince us of its worth. If you’re into long-lasting smartphones, the Acer Liquid E2 is certainly a good choice.
