JiaYu G5 to sport a stainless steel body!


JiaYu shocked many international fans with the announcement of the Jiayu G5, a 4.5-inch iPhone 5 clone, but the more we hear about this clone the more curious we are becoming.

According to the JiaYu forums the G5 will feature an all metal body which could be made from stainless steel! The fact that the phone will be made of high-quality materials and will feature some obvious physical differences from the real iPhone 5 could be enough to move the G5 from the clone genre to ‘closely inspired’ genre.

Along with material choice we have also learned that the new phone will measure just 7.85mm thick and around 63.5mm wide and will come in a choice of either 1850mAh or 3000mAh battery options.

The 4.5-inch display will feature OGS technology to keep thickness to a minimum, with everything being ran by a 1.2Ghz quad-core MT6589 CPU.

Judging by the fact that we have yet to see a JiaYu G5 photo yet we can assume that both the G4 and S1 will be on sale before this stainless steel, 4.5-inch iPhone 5 wannabe.

    frankly…i never like all iPhone knockoff design for personal reason..in fact i dont like iOS devices either .. i wish JIAYU can arrange a next JIAYU G5 design competition , i think there will receive tons of original designs from college guys all over the world,. and reward the winners a Phone each..all be happy

      What signals?
      iPhone-like devices are given to worship, not to call.
