The JiaYu G4 will be the first quad-core Android phone from JiaYu, but rather than launching one model, 2 versions of this next generation smart phone will be launched later this year!
From previous reports we had already learnt that the JiaYu G4 would come in two models with varying body and battery sizes, however we now know that their will be further differences between to the two phones.
The standard edition JiaYu G4 will ship with 1GB RAM, 4GB of built-in memory, and a smaller 1800mAh battery.
The flagship JiaYu G4 will receive 2GB RAM, up to 32GB of built-in memory and a larger 3000mAh battery, which will also add 1.8mm to the phone making it 10mm thick.
Gizchina News of the week
Both versions of the JiaYu G4 will come equipped with a quad-core MT6589 1.2Ghz processor, 4.7-inch OGS Gorilla glass display, 13 mega-pixel rear camera, 3 mega-pixel front camera, a micro SD card slot and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
JiaYu are also claiming the G4 will receive an ultra-thin 2.9mm bezel, but the phone will feature dedicated navigation buttons instead of on-screen controls.
Full specification details of both JiaYu G4 models can be seen in the chart below.
[table id=6 /]There is no release date scheduled for the G4’s launch (which is good for JiaYu) but prices have been hinted at with the standard G4 going on sale for 999 Yuan ($160)!
i’ll rather see standard version with larger battery, i guess this second version will be overpriced for me.
hm, but, knowing JiaYu i have almost 2 years to get the money for it.
If only it had a 5″ 1080p display, would have been perfect then.
No. It would be awful then. You don’t need 1080p. Even 720p for 4,5 was a little to much and perfect for 4,7. You won’t be abble to see pixels with somewhat close to ~270ppi anyway. And with 1080p it would just add to the cost, would be useless, you’ll expirience a lot of problems with apps (since even now atleast half of them still not adapted to even 720p properly) and will have lower perfomance. 4,7 @ 4,7 is ideal. And it’s even a little smaller than G3!
Also: ANDI, I think it says(on jiayu forum) you will be able to select battery capacity for both models. It’s not like 2GB+3000 and 1GB+1800, but there also would be 1GB+30000 and 2GB+3000.

And you have 8 mp in you table instead of 13, fix this.
Good post! 1080p is useless for such a small display and even for larger displays. But if they offer 1080p for the same price of 720p then is not a problem/
Also I hope until release date to have Android 4.2.
My next MT6589 smartphone must to have Android 4.2 because of Miracast support.
Two months ago I wanted a smartphone with HDMI, but when discovered that Mediatek and 4.2 have Miracast support I decided to wait until 4.2 will be available on some 4.7 inches smartphone. If not 4.7, maximum 5 inches but for sure not bigger. I have now a 5 inches smartphone and also 6 inches one and I am sure 6 inches is too much and 5 inches is at the limit. For me.
I agree. I have G3, nice phone good screen. But my next phone will be FULL HD only, either on 5″ or on 4.7″ ( there is a rumour that some company will make a Full HD 4.7″ screen). I compare the screen on my Jiayu 4.5″ to another phone 4.7″ with the same resolution, and I can say that there is a visible difference in the sharpness.
I will pass G4 and will look for something else, but I’m not in a hurry.
Only the quality of the screen allows you to see some differences, didn’t you read what is above you?? You can’t see the difference on such small screen The human eye can’t do that.
not true, the human eye can see around 400ppi, a 1080p screen on a 5″ is around 440ppi so you can see nearly all if not all.
Sam please.. PLEASE, check your source twice before speaking. YEAH the limit of the human eye is around 400ppi, BUT to see the difference you need HUGE SCREENS, I’m talking about 55″ not those 4-5″ on the phone we get. your eye won’t make any difference between 720p, 1080p and 540p, on devices with smaller screens than your hands, THIS IS JUST RIDICOLOUS. http://reviews.cnet.com/720p-vs-1080p-hdtv/ an article from 2009 unless we humans evolved at an amazing space it’s still true nowadays and until we die! Look at the side by side comparaison on 50 inches tv
I’m starting to get sick of people who only bite the hype but never think about the facts.
1080p on 5″ device?? BULLSHIT
And when are we going to see this phone ? Most likely june!! It’s Just like most Chinese phones theses days they seem to announce the specs 6 month’s early then the phone never appears ! Xiaomi m2 oppo 5
Xiaomi M2 can be bought easily now, and Oppo Find 5 will be in stores very soon 😉
