JiaYu S1: 1.5Ghz Qualcomm S4 CPU, 5-inch 1080 screen coming May

AndiJanuary 28, 2013

Breaking news! JiaYu have announced that they will launch an all new Qualcomm S4 powered phone later this year named the JiaYu S1! Full details here!

JiaYu are considered the MTK champions among many Chinesephone fans. The dual-core MT6577 G3 shook the phone world last year with impressive hardware and a low price, and the quad-core MT6589 JiaYu G4 and JiaYu G5 phones look set to blow away the competition for 2013!

JiaYu have more up their sleeve though and the newly announced JiaYu S1 could easily be the Chinesephone to own for 2013 and a true Xiaomi M2 destroyer!

So that’s why they keep using 720p screen on their budget minded phone…
On an entirely different note, Andi, do you think MT6589 is capable enough to handle 1080p android UI and games?

Meh, i’d rather they use the tegra 4 or qualcomm’s new 600 series processors. Their s4 are way slower than cortex a15 and their upcoming 600 series processors.

Great news. I like my G3, good build quality and good design. But I want a Full HD next. I hope they include a microSD slot also, this is the biggest miss in the Oppo phone. I see that big brands including Sony and LG understood that customers want SD slots, hope that the other will also.

Yeah, because, all of a sudden, the S4 Pro + Adreno 320 is an unbearably slow performing combo.
Please…

nice move! I hope the price also blows the competition away & they stay on track with their QA/ QC part.
I’m liking my G3

The 3rd May 2013 is FRIDAY (not “thu” – Thursday).
Besides, this picture was used on ALL phones of Jiayu.

May? Really? Why would anyone go for this if they can choose the Umi X2 which is weeks away from release? Or the Newman N3 which I bet my ass will release way before May.

@kerob: Maybe because it’s running on a Snapdragon S4 Krait processor?
