Acer Super ZX 8GB RAM

The Acer Super ZX features a triple rear camera setup that includes a 64MP Sony sensor, along with a 2MP macro and a 2MP depth sensor. On the front, there's a 13MP selfie camera. In good lighting, the main camera delivers decent results with good dynamic range and contrast although the the images can be oversharpened at times. Colours are slightly boosted to look more vibrant, but not to the point where it feels unnatural. The selfie camera performs similarly well in daylight, offering punchy colours and decent detail, although it does have a tendency to oversaturate colours at times.Low light, however, is where the camera setup begins to show its limitations, which isn't too surprising given it is a budget device. Shots taken in dim environments turn out soft, with edge detection issues and a general lack of sharpness. Lens flares can also creep in, making night shots look less appealing. The selfie camera struggles in low light, too, with grainy output and poor clarity.To get a better sense of how the camera system performs, I compared the Super ZX directly with one of its key competitors, the itel A95 (review). Check it out below:DaylightThe regular daylight images of both phones turn out very different. The Acer Super ZX and itel A95 both have warmer colour profiles but the former's colours are more vibrant, while the latter's colours appear washed out. You'll also notice the Acer's image appears much sharper, while the itel's image is quite soft, which makes it less appealing.PortraitIn portrait shots, the colour science continues to differ between the two phones. The Acer Super ZX does a better job in representing the actual scene in terms of colours, while the itel A95 turns up the contrast and improves shadows. In terms of detail, both devices are quite close to each other, although the itel A95 does a marginally better job with facial details. The itel A95's edge detection is also a smidge better than its competitor's.SelfieThe Acer Super ZX's selfie is extremely vibrant, to the extent that the shot feels overprocessed. It is also a little lacking when it comes to factors like detail level, sharpness and clarity. The itel A95 does a better job here with more natural colour reproduction, better detail levels and higher clarity.Low lightWe tested the low-light performance of both phones with their dedicated night mode enabled. The difference in night shots between the two phones is, simply put, night and day. The itel A95 does better than the Acer Super ZX in basically every single metric, be it colours, sharpness, contrast level or lens flare control.

The MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset powers the Acer Super ZX, paired with up to 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of UFS 3.1 storage. It's a fairly common SoC in this price range, and the performance here is in line with what you'd expect: smooth and reliable for everyday use.I'll attach a few key benchmarks results which were logged by our in-house smartphone testing team to give you a rough idea of the phone's raw performance capabilities. The phone handles routine tasks well, with little to no noticeable stutter. That's partly down to the clean, stock Android-like software experience, which is free from third-party apps or unnecessary bloat.It can handle casual gaming too, though you'll want to manage your expectations. Games like COD: Mobile and BGMI run reasonably well, but only at lower graphics settings.

The phone runs Acer OS 15 based on Android 15 out of the box. As mentioned earlier, the interface is very close to stock Android. It's lightweight, responsive, and helps the overall experience feel snappy, though visually, it might come across as a bit dated. The UI reminds me a bit of what ColorOS 13 looked like, with touches of older MiUI thrown in.Acer has also packed in quite a few software extras. You get a handy sidebar with quick tools, an app lock feature, a smart island that works like Apple's dynamic island, built-in call recording, and more. Acer does not menion the software support policy for this device, so I can't comment on that. All things considered, the software experience is one of the highlights here: clean, responsive, and loaded with useful features that are rarely seen at this price point.

The Acer Super ZX packs a standard 5,000mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging. You get a compatible charger in the box, along with a braided charging cable, which is a nice touch.In the PCMark battery test, the phone clocked in just under 11 hours, which is slightly below the segment average. During our performance test, which involved around two hours of gaming and video streaming, the battery dropped by 29 percent. That's on the higher side, especially when compared to the average drain of around 24 percent in this price range. This can be explained by the phone's higher-resolution display which drains more power compared to HD+ displays. In day-to-day use, battery life is decent, though nothing particularly impressive. I was able to get about 6 to 7 hours of screen-on time with a bit of 5G usage thrown in. With more demanding use, that number dips further. Even with moderate usage, I often found myself plugging the phone in by the end of the day, so heavy users will definitely need to top it up.
