It looks like Acer is still looking to grab some Android smartphone market share as the company plans to launch a new Jelly Bean device.

Codenamed V360, the smartphone has recently been spotted in China by the folks over at Blog of Mobile. Acer V360 is the first Acer handset to run Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system out of the box.

The smartphone will be available for purchase in black and white color options for around $300/€230 outright, though the price has yet to be confirmed.

Acer V360 is expected to arrive with a 4.5-inch qHD capacitive touchscreen display that supports 540 x 960 pixels resolution. On the inside, the device is rumored to pack a 1 GHz dual-core processor.

There’s also a 5-megapixel photo snapper on the back, as well as a secondary VGA front-facing camera for video calls. No word on the exact release date, but rumors suggest it will be introduced in Q1 2013.
