If you visit the
JiaYu forums you will see that there are plenty of
rumours concerning the
launch date of the
JiaYu G4, and we've heard the schedule from our source at JiaYu that it's coming soon!
Many of the current
rumours concerning the
launch date of the
quad-core MT6589 equipped JiaYu
G4 predict the phone will
launch early next month. Dates which are currently being batted around are March 4th with pre-order beginning as early as tomorrow!
A quick look at the official threads debunk these rumours. The OS has yet to be confirmed, and JiaYu are still putting the finishing touches to the hardware. So when will the G4 launch?
While chatting to our JiaYu source this morning, we were informed that the JiaYu
G4 will
launch at the end of March, and that engineering samples will be made available from as early as the middle of March. If we put this in "JiaYu" terms we can expect pre-sales to begin early April with
phones arriving with customers during the
first week of the same month!
Our source also confirmed that JiaYu are still planning to
launch 2 version of the G4, a cheaper model with 1GB
RAM and 1850mAh
battery, and a flagship 2GB RAM,
3000mAh battery model. Prices are expected to start at 999 Yuan ($160) rising.
