Were as upset as you guys are about the
JiaYu G4 delay, and now you'll be as confused as we are when you see the amazing
benchmarks the
quad-core JiaYu G3 is scoring! Why
buy a G4?
If you are currently waiting to be the youth version of the JiaYu G4 you might want to quit waiting until May where it was rescheduled to launch and take a serious look at the updated JiaYu G3!
The
new JiaYu G3, available from the middle of this month, will boast the same 1.2Ghz
quad-core MT6589 CPU as the JiaYu G4, what's more it has 1GB RAM, a 720HD
display,
Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and large 2750mAh battery! So technically the Youth
G4 and
quad-core G3 are very similar, so how about Antutu benchmarks?
A
new thread on the
official JiaYu forum answers that for us with
screenshots of the
new phone showing is score 12716 on version 3.2.2 of Antutu! Again practically identical to the
youth version of the G4!
JiaYu haven't commented on pricing yet, but we expect the MT6589 version of the JiaYu G3 to retail at 999 Yuan ($160) which will get you all of the above plus a 4.5-inch display,
alloy body and 8 mega-pixel rear camera!
So which will you buy? Updated JiaYu G3 or Youth version of the JiaYu G4?
