Nowadays, smartphone with low price is not an unusual sight on the technonology market. However, with the same price, people have so many choices on what to buy, and it can be difficult. If you only look for some device with a low price, together with decent features and hardware, Acer Liquid Z200 and Nokia X can be good choices.

Acer Liquid Z200 has a quite good-looking design, and by the dimensions of 65.0 mm x 126.5 mm x 10.0 mm it can fit easily enough in your hand or your pocket. Weighing only 130 grams, it will not take up much space or weight if you put it in your handbag. Nokia X also has the same size and weight, albeit slightly different. Nokia X has the reputation of being solid and firm thanks to being Nokia’s device though. Therefore, if users want something that can still run over a long time usage, Nokia X is a better choice.

Although both phones have 4’’ screen size and the same pixel resolution of 233ppi, Nokia X seems to have more usable surface (61% to Acer Liquid Z200’s 54%). Moreover, the user interface of Nokia X seems to please people who want something simple.

Both phones sport decent CPU with dual-core processor running at 1GB in speed. While Nokia X has more RAM than Acer Liquid Z200 (768MB comparing to 512MB), Acer Liquid Z200 seems to have better GPU as it is equipped with ARM Mali 400. Nokia X only sport a Qualcomm Adreno 203 as its GPU,which is not as strong as the former. This makes Acer Liquid Z200 a better choice for those who want to watch video or play medium quality games.

The two phones support microSD card, so storing some extra files is not a problem. Data connection is good on both phones, though Nokia X has a compass integrated and Acer Liquid Z200 has a later version of Bluetooth. Nokia X has Wifi-hotspot as its winning feature though, so this makes a favorable reference on choosing between the phones.

Nokia X has a slightly better camera with the resolution of 3.2MP. This can be satisfying for taking photos for fun, and not on a very artistic level. Neither phone has a front camera, which is quite understandable for a budget smart phone. Another plus point for Nokia X over Acer Liquid Z200 is its camera features. Besides zooming and face detection, Nokia X also allows users to set different ISO and change white balance settings.

If you just want to own a decent phone and not some pricey ones, or if you are planning to buy your elders something to keep in touch with you and the world, Nokia X or Acer Liquid Z200 is quite suitable. Overall, Nokia X seems to be a better deal for a budget smart phone than Acer Liquid Z200 is.
