The Liquid Jade S still has a 13MP primary camera, but a new 5MP secondary camera also. The main shooter takes images at a native 4160*3120 resolution.

It would seem that the camera has been improved somewhat, though Acer have not made any mention of what they have changed. The camera focuses far more accurately than the shooter on the Liquid Jade did, and colours appear richer and more vibrant.

Lightning, while still not amazing, is also much improved – it is especially good to see a quality HDR mode included with the Liquid Jade S, as this takes well-balanced photos.

There are even a few gimmicks thrown in with the Liquid Jade S camera – say ‘cheese' to take a photo using the primary camera, and say ‘selfie' to take a photo using the front camera. It is hardly a game changer but it does add a bit of fun to your snaps.

The camera still protrudes somewhat from the main body of the phone, but it is more forgivable now as it actually produces decent results. The Liquid Jade camera looked bad, and was sub-par. Here with the Liquid Jade S, though, it seems far more capable.
