The dual-core and much-anticipated JiaYu G3 MT6577 Android phone may have been delayed (again) until the 1st October, but that hasn’t stopped the JiaYu team working on the JiaYu G4 concepts! And here they are!
The JiaYu G3 excited and disappointed a huge number of people but not for the reasons you may think. The G3 boasts a HD Retina 4.5 inch display with a resolution of 1280 x 720. It has a powerful dual-core MT6577 CPU and 1GB RAM! The camera’s are good to with the rear being a very impressive 8 mega-pixel unit!
It even has a super low retail price (in China) of just $140, however it has let us down because of continued delays, with the latest news stating that the phone will start shipping on 1st October (which I find doubtful as that day is also the start of a week-long national holiday here in China!).
But all of these set backs haven’t deterred JiaYu who are already planning the G3 replacement, the JiaYu G4!
JiaYu G4 Concepts Leaked
Looking at these concept renderings of the JiaYu G4, we can see that JiaYu are taking the design lessons they learned with the G3 and updating the design a little with a much more modern white body and thinner profile.
Gizchina News of the week
Under the slightly revamped design we are hearing that JiaYu are planning a quad-core CPU although it hasn’t been confirmed if it will be a MT6588 or Nvida Tegra 3, at least 1GB RAM (I’m hoping for 2GB) and updated 8 mega-pixel cameras with larger apetures and better lenses.
The G4 is also expected to get Android 4.1 Jelly Bean from launch and that JiaYu could be offering a cloud based storage and email service similar to Apple’s iCloud meaning users could access their files even when away from their PC (as long as they are saved to the cloud).
We don’t know much else about the next generation JiaYu G4 Android phone, but we hope that the next JiaYu phone arrives soon and without any delays!
What do you think about the JiaYu G4 concepts? What would you like to see added to the specification? Let us know in the comments section below!
Wow .. I guess they should choose tegra3 because sources are open … why mediatek source is open to public big drawback 🙁
They better sort their license before announcing G4 and taking pre orders.
HDMI-Out? I think this feature very important..
It seems to be a great phone. But I´m already a bit fed up of Jiayu. I think it´s not possible to trust them any longer, they don´t fill what they promise about release dates and so on.
And I also think they have released this news to keep all the possible buyers happy and attracted (somehow) to their products.
I won´t pay more attention to them until I can check myself what they already have in the market.
FAKE, same as like Jiayu is non trustworthy anymore

hmmm i dont really like this design, its become more and more the design of an iphone clone 🙁
and like the others said, just waiting for G3 updates and delays, and jiayu is already talking about there next phone .. 🙁
What Jiayu needs to do, ASAP, is to make sure that availability of their product is good, make sources for their phone available, and lastly, open up their OWN online store that ships internationally!
I’m fed up with reading about all these awesome Chinese phones and thinking that the only way I can possibly buy them is deal with shady dealers like Fastcardtech or Android-sale or etotalk or merimobiles…
I want my G3 now!
The G4 can wait for the moment…

КОГДА УЖЕ ВЫЙДЕТ JIAYU G3 MTK6577 ЖДАТЬ НАДОЕЛО
سلام لطفا عجله کنید دوستان، اوه …….
@downstar: agree. Why all has to copy iPhone? I mean it became dull already and even my friend (an apple fanboy) spill the word that iPhone design is nazily boring. C’mon Jiayu! I am expecting a large screen phablet monster with stylus not… this
yeah rite….maybe announce october 2012 & release october 2015….lololol
I’m not super excited about quad-core CPUs (on phones).
Modern phone’s System-on-Chips (SoC) have multiple processing cores dedicated to tasks like the communication modem, graphics and background tasks so in essence a single-core SoC chip is actually a multicore one. Extra processing cores only increase productivity for parallel tasks such as rendering video but phones nowadays handle video pretty well already.
From the looks of it, I’m not a huge fan of the new trend for tall screens. It may be helpful to see an extra text message or a bit extra space of a web site but that’s not really worth a premium price to me. Watching full feature movies on a phone is plain stupid.
Exciting features to me would be a 28nm CPU die (better power efficiency) and support for 4G. MT6588 promises both, Tegra3(KaI-El) – not really. It remains to be seen where JiaYu goes with this.
I don’t see this proposed G4 as a huge improvement over the G3. I bet you the G3 will also be significantly cheaper.
Nice specs but the iphone like design is so borring 🙁
@Boris is absolutely right. I also don’t need quad core im mobile device.
Dual core is pretty enough. Also the design of G3 is better for me.
Can’t wait to hear that G3 is on the way…..
When there is no trust, it doesn’t matter how great your phone going o be. If they had released the the G3 in the market by this time, I would have showed some interest in this new design and willing to talk about it.
Shame on you, Jiayu!
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
WIFI N in next generation is very important!
Hi Andi,
The design is boring and clownish. And specs are not clear enough to be excited about. Besides, looking at the comments above, I understand that most if the Chinese dual-sim phone enthusiasts like me don’t trust jiayu anymore. Going by their speed and professionalism, G4 won’t be available before H2 2013 ( if at all ! ) . And I don’t think we can trust them with updates , ROMs etc. They have truly messed up their reputation !
G3 не дождёься ,а они G4 рекламируют
G3 не дождёшься ,а они G4 рекламируют
G3 You will not wait, and they G4 advertise
I guess this will be released in 2014
I own Samsung S2 and I need to replace it with something similar but have dual sim
Only options I have are Chinese android phones
problem with those Chinese they need ages to release such phone
The time G3 is released will be probably with Samsung Galaxy S4
And G4 will be released maybe in 2014-2015
