These first images show us the inside of the rear casing of the S1 which hold various antennas and sensors. One of the new features of the JiaYu S1 is that it will have a built-in battery and non-removable rear cover, this has allowed JiaYu to mount the GPS, WIFI and WCDMA antennas plus the NFC chip directly to the rear casing and allowing for improved signal strength!
