Even though Acer's smartphones are far from being among the most popular on the market, the company continues to launch new devices each year.

After announcing its new Windows 10-powered flagship smartphone, the Jade Primo, Acer is gearing up for the release of a mid-range Android handset that comes with an unusual feature that is not commonly available in today's devices.

Malaysian blog SoyaCincau reports Acer plans to launch a new mid-range Android smartphone next month. The Acer Liquid X2 will be available for purchase beginning January 2016 though we don't have any details on price yet.

The phone's selling point is the fact that it offers triple-SIM support, which means users will be able to insert up to three SIM cards inside the Liquid X2.

We believe that the name Liquid X3 would have fit much better, in this case, but Acer's official name follows the lineup the company initiated with the launch of Liquid X1, back in September 2014.

It will be released in Asian countries initially

Aside from the fact that it offers triple-SIM support, Acer Liquid X2 comes with some other features that might appeal to Android fans.

For example, the smartphone packs a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera with autofocus, LED flash and video calls, as well as a 13-megapixel camera in the front for selfies and video calls.

Also, Acer Liquid X2 will be powered by a high-capacity 4,000 mAh battery. It's also worth mentioning that all three SIM cards can be used on LTE networks, though not simultaneously.

Another interesting piece of hardware inside the Liquid X2 is the 64-bit octa-core MediaTek processor coupled with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal memory.

Last but not least, Acer Liquid X2 will sport a large 5.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display that supports HD (720p) resolution, and features a unique flip cover that allows users to peek at notifications without having to open the phone.
