Stainless Steel JiaYu G5 will run 1.5Ghz MT6589T Chipset

As JiaYu G4 and G3S shipments finally settle in to a steady pace, the team at JiaYu are shifting their attention to the JiaYu G5.

The JiaYu G5 is the next JiaYu phone to ship from the Chinese phone maker, and the first phone from the brand which treads the fine line to possibly being seen as a knock off rather than an original product.

Yes, the JiaYu G5 looks a lot like the iPhone 5 and had it not been for the lack of physical home button, the inclusion of a 4.50inch display and the fact the JiaYu features a stainless steel removable rear panel they could have been looking at a law suit!

Anyway, it’s the hardware which we are most interested in in this post as JiaYu have officially announced the G5 will get a 1.5Ghz MT6589T processor rather than the 1.2Ghz model. In addition the G5 will get 2GB RAM and 32GB memory which is basically the same configuration as the G4 Advanced but tucked in to a thinner 7.9mm shell.

As you would expect from JiaYu there are no firm pricing details or a launch date just yet.
