JiaYu have finally made an announcement on pricing for the quad-core JiaYu G4 and updated MT6589 version of the G3.
Although the full specification for the JiaYu G4 Premium and Youth have been known for months, JiaYu have been coy with the pricing details with just hints that the phones will start at around the 999 Yuan ($160) mark for Chinese customers.
JiaYu have announced today that pricing will in fact start at a slightly lower 949 Yuan ($152) for the 1GB Youth model with 1850mAh battery, rising to 999 Yuan ($160) for the 10mm thick model with larger 3000mAhbattery.
Gizchina News of the week
The quad-core JiaYu G3 which will go on sale mid April and offers very similar features to the Youth G4 will cost just 839 Yuan ($135).
Those of you who are after the Premium 2GB RAM version of the JiaYu G4 are going to have to wait a little longer for price details. We also will have to wait and see what international resellers are going to be charging for the new G4 and G3 phones.

so there will be a 3000 mah youth phone? thought it would just be youth 1800 mah and Premium 3000
mannie,
Jiayu never said that!
There are many versions – (Standard Edition + High Edition) x (1850mAh+3000mAh) x (black+white) = 8 versions 🙂
Does anybody know the name of Chinese retailers which sell these phones at the producer recommended price in street shops?
Jiayu has offline-shops in China.
Andi, “The quad-core JiaYu G3… will cost just 839 Yuan ($135)”
Jiayu doesn’t say about the price of NEW JiaYu G3. 839 Yuan ($135) – is likely the price of OLD JiaYu G3 (MT6577).
In addition, on April 20 Jiayu promises to provide “live phones” – G4, G5, G6, S1, S2(!) !
I’m sorry but OLD Jiayu G3 is dual core so if the price they are showing is for quad core Jiayu G3 then it must be for the NEW Jiayu G3
Norman Zakaria,
I repeat once again (imho): Jiayu did not say that it was the price for a quad-core G3.
Dude, did u even go to the Official Chinese Jiayu Forum? They said that the Jiayu G3 quad core version will be listed for 839 Yuan while the dual core version will be discontinued. I’m telling u this price is for the NEW Jiayu G3.
