    So that’s why they keep using 720p screen on their budget minded phone…

    On an entirely different note, Andi, do you think MT6589 is capable enough to handle 1080p android UI and games?

    Meh, i’d rather they use the tegra 4 or qualcomm’s new 600 series processors. Their s4 are way slower than cortex a15 and their upcoming 600 series processors.

    Great news. I like my G3, good build quality and good design. But I want a Full HD next. I hope they include a microSD slot also, this is the biggest miss in the Oppo phone. I see that big brands including Sony and LG understood that customers want SD slots, hope that the other will also.

    Yeah, because, all of a sudden, the S4 Pro + Adreno 320 is an unbearably slow performing combo.

    Please…

    nice move! I hope the price also blows the competition away & they stay on track with their QA/ QC part.

    I’m liking my G3

    The 3rd May 2013 is FRIDAY (not “thu” – Thursday).
    Besides, this picture was used on ALL phones of Jiayu.

    May? Really? Why would anyone go for this if they can choose the Umi X2 which is weeks away from release? Or the Newman N3 which I bet my ass will release way before May.

    @kerob: Maybe because it’s running on a Snapdragon S4 Krait processor?

    I am thinking of purchase a Chinese quad core smartphone I’m in doubt between Newman N2 and the Jiayu S1
    Which is better? There something better in the same price range?
