Acer has already unveiled a few Windows 10 Mobile handsets in the last couple of months, but none has been released on the market until today.

The flagship Liquid Jade Primo was expected to arrive in the first few months of the year, but Acer has yet to make it available for purchase. In the meantime, Microsoft launched the mid-range Lumia 650 with Windows 10 Mobile not long ago.

The good news is Windows Phone fans will now have more choices in the low-end range since Acer has finally launched the affordable Liquid M330, which is supposed to compete with Microsoft’s Lumia 550 released last year.

Unfortunately, the Liquid M330 is slightly more expensive than Microsoft’s Lumia 550, at least at launch. Hopefully, Acer’s Windows Phone price will drop in the coming weeks otherwise people will definitely choose Microsoft’s smartphone over this one.

According to WinFuture.de, Acer Liquid M330 is now available for purchase in France (via Amazon) for €120, but customers also have to pay for shipping. In Germany, smartphone is likely to cost around €130 outright, but the price will vary by country.

Unimpressive specs

Aside from the fact that it comes with Windows 10 Mobile onboard, Acer Liquid M330 also includes a 4.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display that supports 480 x 854 pixels resolution, as well as a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera with autofocus, LED flash and video recording.

The Liquid M330 comes equipped with a 1GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 processor, coupled with an Adreno 304 graphics processing unit and 1GB of RAM.

There’s only 8GB of storage inside the Liquid M330, but users can expand storage up to 32GB via microSD card slot. In the front, there’s a 5-megapixel camera for selfies and video calls.

Acer Liquid M330 is powered by a 2,000 mAh battery, which hasn’t been rated by the manufacturer yet. Connectivity-wise, the smartphone offers LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, microUSB 2.0 and GPS with AGPS support.
