PROS
Generous 5" display; Relatively speedy performance for entry-level device; Excellent value for money
CONS
Quite plastic heavy; Back cover heats up under heavy use
VERDICT
All in all, the Z5 gives users far more than expected for a R2 600 entry-level device, with a large bright screen that showcases media assuredly, as well as a solid performing chipset to handle any modest levels of multitasking. If value for money sits atop your list of smartphone needs, the Acer Liquid Z5 is a trusty tool.
