Last week, Acer got out in front of the [Mobile World Congress](http://www.engadget.com/event/mwc2013/articles/) madness by reintroducing its [Liquid E1](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/25/acer-liquid-e1/) smartphone and announcing the new [Liquid Z2](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/20/acer-outs-liquid-e1-and-liquid-z2-smartphones/). Well, we're on the ground here in Barcelona and we just got to see them both in person. A quick recap for those who missed Acer's first Androids of 2013: the mid-range E1 runs Jelly Bean on a 4.5-inch 960 x 540 IPS display, has a dual-core 1GHz processor, a 5-megapixel camera and a 1,760mAh battery. The entry-level Z2 also runs Android 4.1, but has a 3.5-inch 480 x 320 screen, single-core 1GHz CPU, a 3-megapixel shooter and a 1,300 mAh cell. Both phones come in either black or white and can be had in single- or dual-SIM configurations. Peruse our galleries of photos below, won't you? Then join us after the break for a video and our full impressions.
