Remember that [unnamed Acer phone](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/07/visualized-intel-lexington-based-smartphones-from-acer-and-xolo/) we caught skulking about [Intel's CES event](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/07/intel-liveblog-ces-2013/)? It's been given a proper launch: meet the Liquid C1. True to form, the fully revealed device centers around a [Lexington](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/07/intel-announces-lexington-platform/)-based, 1.2GHz Atom Z2420 processor. The chip gives the C1 enough grunt to power an 8-megapixel camera with burst shooting while keeping the price in check, at about 9,990 baht ($335) off-contract for the inaugural Thailand release in February. Locals will otherwise get a solid Android 4.0 smartphone with a 4.3-inch display, HSPA+ 3G and a battery that lasts for nine hours of 3G talk. Other countries in southeast Asia are next on the list to get Acer's turn at an Intel-powered handset, although we wouldn't expect to see it everywhere -- Intel's Uday Marty warns _ZDNet_ that the absence of LTE will keep phones like the C1 away from markets where the faster data is commonplace.
