Remember the JiaYu G3? Yes, that really good looking Chinese phone which looks like a cross between an iPhone and an Oppo Finder, well it is now on sale for only $210.
Chinese online store Fastcardtech are reporting that they have the all new and much anticipated Jiayu G3 Android Chinese phone on sale now and at the super low price of just $210!
The JiaYu G3 is one of the new breed of Chinese phone which offers users great value for money while not skimping on performance or design.
The best looking Chinese phone?
With all the hype surrounding the JiaYu G3 and it’s Oppp/iPhone inspired design, some are suggesting that this alloy bodied Chinese phone is possibly the best Chinese phone on the market! While I have to agree that the JiaYu G3 is a great looking phone, I personally prefer the look of the Oppo Finder and Meizu Mx 4-core.

False, it is not in stock, it says “Quantity:Out of stock” and when you try to purchase the phone, it gives an error saying “Sorry, Out-of-stock and stop sales. Would you want to book in now and reserve the product?”
Hi when I checked last night there was not out of stock message…. Sorry to hear this it’s turning out the G3 is harder to get hold of than hens teeth!
hi andy and thanks for a great site. have you heard anything news about giayu because i ordered mine from fastcard tech oct 10th and still havent gotten it yet
Hi Joonas maybe these leaked JiaYu G3 Photos will cheer you up? https://www.gizchina.com/2012/07/19/jiayu-g3-leaked-photos/
is this phone available outside china
i want to buy this phone
Once officially launched you should be able to buy it from the many online resellers here in China.
Hi.. this Jiayu G3 has 1000 no of phonebook only? Or it has virtually no limit bcoz of ICS 4.0? Kindly guide.. basically I shall prefer a smartphone, in which i can store some good information and can be handy to find..
It all depends on the size of your SD card and the Jiayu G3 should except up to 32gb
Andi, great website you got going. You are our inside man on the China market! Hey could you recommend / make a list of the reliable webstores where we can buy Chinese phones. Thanks
Hi Dan, thanks for your support I’m really happy you like the site. I will make a list but the problem I face is knowing who is reliable and who isn’t as I haven’t dealt with them all. I’ll need input from you guys to really be sure to make an accurate list.
beautiful site andy, i michael from usa loves it so much.
for sure fastcardtech has the worst customer service ever recorded in any website-bar none!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. i think they are driven more by money than quality of service. every question takes more than 24hrs to answer and the answer is always from a very bad english speaking fellow that just imputs a generic answer to all your questions, the english telephone on the site isnt monitored and never answered, they will always answer your question with a generic computer generated word-answering machine. the website design is filled with more information than you need on a single web page. they are too cheap to hire a good english typist. and there is absolutely no way you can have a live chat with any of them, although it shows a live chat offer all the time. i rate the site -50 out of 10!!!. so andy just point us in the right direction of better chinese sites that we can puchase from…thanks
Andi, will give input as soon as my current transactions are completed or if i do any new ones. In the mean time what are the webstores that you have had successful transactions so far?
Android-sale is good, Zopomobilestore are good not had many dealings with the rest as I shop in the Chinese computer cities.
I was wondering if this phone indeed has Gorrila glass?
Will it work with Tmobile here in the states?
The official specs say so, but don’t be surprised if there’s a last minute change….
Hi! Martin, I am writing from Hungary! Interested to know where to buy this phone? Jiayu G3 … How Much? thank you Martin
There are problems for all of the MTK chip phones
1) do not have kernel source released
2) did not pass CTS, nor OTA.
3) once you add google play and android sync some of the apps no longer play or crash constantly. (Most of the hw spec is min to run the current android stock rom )
4) The price is not $120, you hardly can find one in us less than $200 ( not include the tax )
5) The best one like Jiayu still have the above problems more or less.
Has anyone got problems with delivery by ordering jiayu G3 from fastcardtech?
are they trustworthy?
Hi, this phone really support WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100MHz?
