Great
news everyone the
JiaYu G3 MTK6577
launch date has been announced!.... haha only kidding! no this
news is much less awesome but does shed some light on why
JiaYu have delayed their dual-core MT6577
4.5 inch phone for so long. Keep reading to find out!
News just posted today on the
JiaYu website informs fans that the much-anticipated
JiaYu G3 is still undergoing some changes, and not minor ones either!
According to
JiaYu after testing the G3 with its
original 4.5 inch 720p HD
screen the company have decided it doesn't offer the
quality which they and their fans are expecting so have decided to switch
screen suppliers!
It's not been ascertained that
JiaYu have actually found a new supplier or are currently looking, but either way it means the
JiaYu G3 is even further from a release
date than we had all hoped!
In addition to this damning
news,
JiaYu continue to go on to say that they are planning 3 colour options for the
JiaYu G3 MTK6577 once
launched, however they have yet to decide which colours to offer and are currently performing market research to decide which colour options will be most popular.
The leaked picture above shows a range of engineering
samples in various colours which
JiaYu are currently choosing from, personally I'm not impressed by any of the options here except the
original black model which looks alot like the iPhone 5 design.
It is also confirmed that the G3 will
launch with
Android ICS 4.0.4 and may eventually receive Android 4.1 Jelly Bean in the future!
So what are you guys planning to do? Will you continue to wait for
JiaYu to release the
JiaYu G3, or will you
buy a different Chinese
phone?
