Acer Super ZX Series Smartphones : Made in India, Affordable, and AI Powered

Acer Super ZX starts at INR 9,999, which is a strong offer considering the features packed in. Meanwhile, the more powerful Super ZX Pro comes in at INR 17,999, offering even more performance for the price.

• Flagship Features: The Acer Super ZX Pro offers a 120Hz AMOLED display, Dimensity 7400 chip, and Android 15 for less than INR 20,000.
• Budget Option: The standard Acer Super ZX brings solid specs like a 64MP main camera and Dimensity 6300 for just INR 9,999.
• Clean Android: Both phones ship with stock Android 15, giving users a fast, bloat-free experience straight out of the box.

When I saw the Acer Super ZX and Super ZX Pro being talked about on international tech websites, I had to double-check the branding. Yes, that Acer — a brand we’ve mostly known for laptops — is stepping back into the smartphone game. If you remember, Acer Smartphones used to be available in the Philippines in 2016 and 2017 but for some reason, the mobile line suddenly disappeared.

Fast forward to 2025, Acer is slated to make a mobile market comeback but there's a twist: Their new phones are not made by Acer's headquarters in Taiwan. Instead, they're being produced by Indkal Technologies under license in India. Looking at press photos, surprisingly, the upcoming phones look way more polished than you'd expect from a "first comeback attempt."

Let’s break down the new Super ZX duo and why they deserve a spot on your radar if you’re hunting for a clean, powerful, and reasonably priced smartphone experience.

Acer Super ZX Pro: Midrange Looks, Premium Feel

The Super ZX Pro is easily the headliner here. With a 6.67-inch AMOLED display, Full HD+ resolution, and a buttery-smooth 120Hz refresh rate, it already outpaces most phones in its price range. Add up to 1,000 nits brightness and an in-display fingerprint scanner, and you’re looking at a legit media consumption machine.

Powering the device is the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chip — a capable midrange processor known for balancing performance and power efficiency. The Pro model also gives you a range of storage options, from 6/128GB to 12/512GB, depending on your usage and budget.

Imaging is handled by a 64MP Sony LYT-882 sensor with OIS, flanked by a 5MP ultrawide lens and a 2MP depth sensor. Up front, there’s a 13MP OmniVision selfie shooter, which should be more than enough for your daily snaps and video calls.

Keeping it all running is a 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging. It runs stock Android 15, which is a rare treat nowadays. No bloat, no skin, just pure Android. That alone might be a deciding factor for a lot of tech-savvy users.

Other sweet bonuses include dual speakers with Dolby Atmos, IP64 splash resistance, and a glass-back finish that’s surprisingly premium at this price.

Acer Super ZX: Entry-Level but Competitive

Now if you're on a tighter budget, the standard Acer Super ZX still has a lot going for it. Its 6.7-inch LCD screen supports Full HD+ resolution and 800 nits of brightness, which is decent even under outdoor lighting.

The Dimensity 6300 chipset inside isn’t a powerhouse but is perfectly usable for everyday apps, social media, and even casual gaming. Storage options include 4/64GB, 4/128GB, 6/128GB, 8/128GB, and 8/256GB, which is generous for a budget phone.

The rear cameras are headed by a 64MP Sony IMX682 sensor, along with a 2MP macro and 2MP depth lens. Up front, a 13MP Samsung sensor handles selfies. That’s pretty respectable for an entry-level model.

Just like the Pro, it packs a 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging, dual speakers, and Android 15 out of the box. Instead of an in-display scanner, this one opts for a side-mounted fingerprint sensor built into the power button, which is quick and reliable.

Pricing, Availability, and What It Means for Acer

The pricing is what makes both phones so compelling. The Acer Super ZX starts at INR 9,999, which is around PHP 6,800 — a very strong offer for what you get. Meanwhile, the more powerful Super ZX Pro will start at INR 17,999 or roughly PHP 12,200.

Both models will go on sale in India starting April 25, and while there’s no confirmation yet on a Philippine launch, Acer fans here will definitely be watching closely.

This comeback is Acer’s way of showing that it can still be relevant in a smartphone market dominated by brands like realme, Xiaomi, and Samsung. The fact that Indkal Technologies is helming the design and distribution means Acer is banking on local expertise to push its name back into the conversation.

If these phones perform as well as their specs suggest, Acer might just carve out a new identity in the mobile space — one built around clean software, decent hardware, and competitive pricing.

That’s a pretty solid playbook for a comeback.
