Acer, in collaboration with Indkal Technologies, has entered the Indian smartphone market with the launch of the Super ZX. Priced under Rs 10,000, this device aims to deliver a capable all-around experience with minimal compromises. Here’s how it fares in real-world use across key categories.
3Performance and Software
- MediaTek Dimensity 6300
- LPDDR4x | UFS 2.2 storage
- Variants: 4GB+128GB | 6GB+128GB | 8GB+128GB
- Android 15
- 5,000mAh battery | 33W charging
The device is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, coupled with LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.2 storage, and handles day-to-day tasks reliably. From browsing and using social media apps to light gaming and multitasking, the phone is responsive. The availability of up to 8GB of virtual RAM expansion further helps with app switching and background tasks.
The 5,000mAh battery, which is sufficient for a full day, supports 33W fast charging. It takes around 1:30 hours for a full charge.
Acer has shipped the device with Android 15, and notably, it offers a clean user interface with no third-party bloatware or unwanted pre-installed apps. The lack of a custom skin ensures a smoother and more private user experience. The company has promised two OS upgrades, which means it will receive Android 16 and 17.
While the UI is clean, there are some new additions in the Settings menu, which include DuraSpeed and Special Features. DuraSpeed, also seen on Lava phones, boosts the foreground app by restricting background apps. Special Features include App Lock, Side Bar, One-Handed Mode, Double Tap Back Panel (customisable for flashlight, screenshot, play/pause, any app, and more), Anonymous Call Recording, Smart Island, Three-Finger Screenshot, Lift to Wake, Incoming Call Flash, and Quick Camera Access via double-pressing the power button.
I did notice a few minor jitters in the software, which can likely be resolved through future software patches. Here’s a how the device performed on benchmarking apps.
