JiaYu G3 Now Using a Taiwan Screen Comparison Photos

AndiSeptember 20, 2012

The latest news from everyone’s (?) favourite Chinesephone brand is that the JiaYu G3 is getting its 4.5 inchscreens from a Taiwan based supply. Keep reading for comparison photos of the newscreen and the old JiaYu G3 screen.

‌

The most exciting detail of the JiaYu G3 Chinese Android phone isn’t the dual-core MediaTek MT6577 CPU, its 1GB RAM or 8 mega-pixel camera, but its 4.5 inch HD screen with a resolution of 1280 x 720!

JiaYu have now confirmed that they have chosen a newscreen vendor, from Taiwan, and that they are extremely pleased with the brightness of the newscreens when compared to the preproduction models.

The photos here show an engineering version of the G3 (Black) and a production ready version with the newscreen (silver).

As you can see the newscreen on the silver JiaYu G3 is much brighter, even in a well-lit room, than the original screens which is good news for those still waiting for this low-cost Chinesephone.

The JiaYu G3 is a 899 Yuan ($140) Android smart-phone with a 4.5 inch display, dual-core MT6577 1Ghz CPU, 1GB RAM, 8 mega-pixel rear camera, 2750mAh battery and Android 4.0 OS.

Thanks Andi for these great news! But in my opinion, the difference isnt that big. The pictures they have taken arent the best way to compare two screens. They should use some HQ photos or sth. like that and not the simple Android GUI. You can also see a less contrast ration in addition to the better brightness. Hopefully this impression is wrong 😉

@Will: I think the brand logo is moved to the back case. It is no longer carved on the metallic bottom part. Still waiting for the phone though.

I also prefer the left screen, it has better colours.
Anyway, I can’t really decide from one or two photos, what’s more important to me that the range of brightness should be extended.
Normally you don’t look at videos or pictures when having a sunbath, but rather in shady conditions. In addition, i prefer to have a ‘very dark’ setup when using my phone/tablet at night, without lighting up all the room and burning my retina even in the lowest setting.

Since we have waited for so long what if you inform them for us to include android 4.1 jellybean too. To me the old screen is better has higher contrast

The left screen does NOT have better contrast!
Don’t be misled by the overall brightness which is adjustable.
Try to compare how dark are darker colors and how bright are lighter colors.
Compare the range between black and white.

Anywho

at least they keep improving it while they’re waiting. Is this still the gorilla screen though?

this is sick
i mean this means that the phone is far from being released
and i read somewhere in the jiayu g3 forum that they will get the license on 10/10/2012 (but that is a user message not an official one)
which is too late
i have a bad feeling about this
hope i am wrong

@Raby
Can you provide a link to that for others to read ? 🙂

well i did search the forum again and again but it seems like they post have been deleted by the forum manager
as they tend to remove what they don’t like
in this case this could make a lot of buyers like us cancel the preorder
or it’s just a lie
but i do think there is something fishy about the JiaYu G3 that we don’t know yet

As i know the license is already there, i thought andi has also said it in some of his post on this blog about the G3 phone..
The left screen has some more realistic colours, and look like it has better contrast.. but if you look at the black/white colors.. the right one is better..
its just hard to tell the difference from pictures, you need to check those things in reallife to see the really difference between both screens..

  @Downstar nope I didn’t post anything about JiaYu getting the license still waiting like you guys….

Hi Andi,
Thanks for all the great posts about Jiayu G3. I also pre-ordered on September 5th and still waiting for official release. I’m very worried about this post: http://techideki.com/jiayu-g3-updates/ which says Jiayu G3 doesn’t have HD screen (1280×720) or Gorilla glass anymore. To be honest that’s the main reason I bought this phone. I already have a Zopo ZP100 which has a nice qHD screen (960×540) so I really wanted a screen update. Do you have any infos about the Jiayu G3 screen?
Thanks
