It also has USB OTG (On-The-Go) support that lets you charge other devices with the phone. The device has also dual-SIM capacity and a bluelight shield for night use.

Acer’s new phone also highlights its camera features with 13MP primary camera and a 5MP selfie sensor on the front. Its main camera uses a “hybrid tri-focusing” system for faster captures along with LED Flash, Laser AF, and PDAF. The front camera offers selfie lovers with 85-degree angle of photos, face detection, and users can shake the handset to start an automatic selfie timer.
