There has been a lot of talk recently about the idea Apple could be launching a larger 4.8-inch iPhone later this year, but why wait that to turn in to nothing buy rumour when JiaYu are planning the JiaYu G5! A quad-core, 4.5-inch iPhone 5 clone coming soon!
JiaYu phones have always been “inspired” from other phones, but they have always stayed well clear of becoming a manufacturer of clones. Well, that is until now, as they seem to have thrown caution to the wind are a launching an iPhone 5 clone with 4.5-inch display!
The JiaYu G5 could be the answer to many iPhone fans dreams as the device will boast all the look and feel of the current iPhone 5, but with the addition of a larger 4.5-inch OGS 720p display.
As usual there is no firm release date (a blessing when it comes to JiaYu) but we do have some specifications for the G5 and it all looks quite promising.
Behind the 4.5-inch display and under the iPhone body, the JiaYu G5 will boast a quad-core MT6589 processor running at 1.2Ghz, 2GB RAM, 32GB of on-board memory, 3 mega-pixel front camera and a 13 mega-pixel rear camera. The body is said to measure in at just 7.85mm and will come with a choice of either 1850mAh or 3000mAh batteries.
We imagine the JiaYu G5 will be priced at slightly above the upcoming JiaYu G4 so expect prices of between 1200-1500 Yuan ($192-$240).
Thanks to David for the tip!

Besides being an Iphone clone, what makes the G5 better than the G4!?
Hi Andi,
Please confirm if the front camera is of 0.3 mega-pixel resolution but not 3 mega-pixel?
I think there must be a mistake somewhere, as 3MP sounds more appropriate.
Cheers!
Pretty sure it’s 0.3
I was thinking the G5 is for those who want smaller phone but with the Quad core, however the difference between 4.5″ and 4.7″ is 9.5mm I know that is diagonal but the difference in phone size G5-130mm and G4-133mm does not make the G5 that attractive. G4 gives you a lot more screen for not a lot more body. Maybe Jiayu should realise the IPhone 5 is not as big a hit as what most people thought it would be. I think building a vline is a step back for Jiayu.
They have a 5-incher too! Details very soon!
well, they should just do a damn quad 4-incher like the like g2s, these freakishly large phones are just hideous. hehehe
I don’t mind it being ‘inspired’ by the iPhone, I even think that it could be pretty cool, but I thoroughly hate the kind of cloned-iOS-on-Android like the GooPhone you reviewed a couple of days ago. Stock Android would be much more awesome! And 4,5 inch is already a lot better than 5 inch, that would be too big for me now.
1. Front camera is 3MP by Jiayu (and not 0.3MP)
2. 5″ Jiayu is JiaYu S1
Sorry, 3 mega-pixel you are correct
Andi, do you have any info regarding the mt 6859 phones? sources are saying no sooner than march? i was hoping feb with the new year… any info on your side?
I’m a neubie at chinese cell phones is wcdma the same as cdma? Also i am reading alot about rooting what is this?
wcdma is nothing but 3G network and rooting is like taking the control over the software of the android phone so u can install modified android ROM’S etc, that is similar to jailbreking in iphone
Andi
G5 is not exact clone (not considering screen size) it has android touch keys instead of single round home / menu button usually we seen in iphone . I got an official pic from jiayu forums and lastly initially they wanted to name this device as jiayu g3s but changed later .

Not sure if Apple will see it that way
Bad idea jiayu, the kind of guy who buys a clone actually wants to fool others into thinking he has a $700 phone
Making it bigger than the iphone would be a huge giveaway, and the design is not that iconic as to compensate for this
Spec wise it looks great but that price is going to be far higher in the web, just like its still impossible to buy a G3 for $160 outside of china
any quad-core MT6589 with hdmi video out???
the interface of android, is like iphone or classic Android?
thanks
