Acer went all official today and announced its new Liquid A1 smartphone that will be the first Android device to run the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. The device sports a touchscreen and HSPA connectivity.

The smartphone also has a 5MP camera with autofocus, geotagging, ISO adjustability, and a self-timer. HTC reportedly has a Snapdragon-based Android device in the works, but that has not been confirmed at this time.

We don’t have many details on the Liquid at this point, but it promises a new UI and longer battery life than other handsets. Full details should be coming soon and the device is running Android 1.6.

    hmm, the phone in your 2nd link looks different than the op. wonder why. i'm liking the metal trim in the op; looks a bit nicer, and maybe thinner?

    Both may be pre production, I like the one with the metal trim too.

    I hope they don't just run stock Android. I'm loving seeing all the different interpretations of Android from the different manufacturers.
