Neo N003 spy photos emerge, hint at possible launch


Normally very secretive, Neo have released more details and spy photos of the black version Neo N003 stirring up rumours a launch date is imminent!

It’s a tell-tale sign that the closer we get to a launch of a new product more ‘leaked’ documents, video and photo emerge online to get the fans hyped up, and when the leaks are coming from a relatively quiet company such as Neo the rumours start flowing.

Just a few days ago video of the upcoming Neo N003 was released, showing the low-cost 1080 phone and some of it’s key features such as OTG and MHL support, and today we have up close photos of the phone.

This version of the Neo N003 is a black model, and like the white one we saw in the video has a white band between the 5-inch FHD 1080p display and body, the production model is said to have a metal band.

Like the iOcean X7 and JiaYu G4, the Neo N003 will be available in 2 versions, a low-cost 1GB RAM model for 899 Yuan ($145) and a high-end 2GB version, but prices for this version are still unknown.

At 899 Yuan the N003 is a sweet deal for a phone boasting a 1080p 5-inch display, quad-core MT6589 CPU, 13 mega-pixel rear camera, 3000mAh battery Android 4.2 and OTG plus MHL! Here’s hoping a launch date will be announced soon!

    Hello Andi, really loving your website.

    I came across this website about a month ago, and has been visiting daily since.

    I never knew that Quality Chinese Phones exist at such low prices.

    Keep up the Good Informative work up!! 🙂

    I am looking forward to getting one myself, but i am really concerned about their screen Quality.
    It would be really Nice if you can compare the Screens of this Phones with High End Android Phones, Like One X or Galaxy S3 – S4, One. The Viewing Angles, Brightness, Contrast, Colour Accuracy, Gamut Etc??

    Regards.

    Keep Ur Good Work Up Again!

    🙂

        The shipment for the Neo N003 is confirmed for Mid-May (according to a spanish forum, which made a bulk-order and are directly in contact with Neo).
        When Jiayu will be shipping out is written in the stars… I did not order via this site but via another reseller, for still a really good price (below 200$ with shipping)

            i ordered mine at lightake.com, I did never order there before, but they reviews for the shop were postive. moreover I paid via paypal, so the transaction is secured from their side.
            Cheers

    there is a post in this forum called “Neo N003 tear-down photos show off 3000mAh battery”
    it shows the device without cover and you can see it has 2 sim slots.

    That 1gb rom and 2 gb rom versions, if you look at speed is the 2gb rom version faster or not? Or it can only open more apps at once?
