Acer launches no less than six new Android smartphones at IFA 2015 trade fair, but Windows Phone hasn't been forgotten either since the company unveiled three handsets powered by Microsoft's mobile operating system.

One of the many Android smartphones announced by Acer several hours ago is the Liquid Z530. The device leaked a few days ahead of IFA 2015, so pretty much knew most of its specs.

The good news is Acer confirmed the Liquid Z530 will be available for purchase beginning October for prices starting at €150.

The company also announced it will launch the Liquid Z530S model equipped with an octa-core processor, 3GB RAM and 32GB storage, which will be more expensive than the standard version.

It's also worth mentioning that Acer Liquid Z530 will only be released in EMEA in October, but we don't rule out a global rollout later on.

Moving on to specs, Acer claims the Liquid Z530 is the “perfect selfie smartphone.” In this regard, the handset comes with an 8-megapixel front-facing camera that features 84 degree wide-angle for better selfies.

On the back, the Liquid Z530 features a similar 8-megapixel photo snapper with autofocus, Led flash and full HD (1080p) video recording.

Also, the smartphone is powered by a 64-bit 1.3GHz quad-core MediaTek MT6753 processor, which, depending on market, is complemented by either 1GB or 2GB RAM.

Acer Liquid Z530 will be available in two versions based on amount of storage: 8GB and 16GB. However, both variants will pack microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 64GB).

Furthermore, the Liquid Z530 sports a decent 5-inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen display that supports HD (720p) resolution and features Zero Air Gap technology to ensure bright rendering of color.

The smartphone comes preloaded with Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system right out of the box, it will also feature Acer Liquid UI on top of it.
