Acer teases a new Android smartphone with something interesting on its back

Ahead of MWC 2014, which officially starts next week, Acer teased a new Android smartphone on its Google+ page. The unannounced model will be a part of the Taiwanese maker's Liquid series of phones. The image isn't especially revealing, but the device features a interesting sensor on its back panel. It could be an infrared blaster, a fingerprint sensor, or some kind of hardware button. Only Acer knows at this point. configurable function button on its back. The user can assign a shortcut to it - to open the camera app, for example.

From the little we can see, this phone will look sleek. The buttons on its left side seem especially thin. Of course, it could turn out that the photo simply depicts the phone's most attractive angle, and our eyes are deceived. Regardless, the picture is promising.

We will see this and more from Acer at this year's MWC. Tune in for our live coverage of the event next week.
