That’s a good deal and they appear to have the phones in stock.
Tempted! But might hold out for a “turbo” variant although who knows when they’ll be available……

Dear gizchina readers, what do you know about spemall?,any experience? i don’t know about this shop so i am a little bit unsure..
AndyW
June 19, 2013
Perhaps Andi can comment on that one. They do accept Paypal though and that’s what I’d be looking to use for such a purchase to give me some protection.
- June 19, 2013
  I haven’t heard anything to cause concern, but I always recommend using Paypal to protect yourself.

Base on my experience, spemall is reliable, i was brought my onda V972 from them at 17 Jan. at that time, V972 is a hot cookie, and it is short in supply, spemall promised ship in 7days, and they sent earlier as they promised, it take 4days via DHL, and the tablet works fine. i am happy with my experience buying on spemall, now the same situation for JIAYU G4, and this is really a Excellent Deal

WELL DONE GIZCHINA and SPEMALL !
This is an excellent initiative in principle. But I sense that there is a small flaw in the manner of using it..
1. Selecting the SPEMALL ‘Product Code’ should be ‘accident free’ and ‘flawless’
2. Using the ‘product code’ should be all that is necessary to select the whole ‘package’ of items – and the process should be ‘accident free’
3. I assume that ‘drop shipping’ can be applied to a ‘package code’ … Answers please ?
Good luck with this initiative!

Hi Andi, i understand u recommended using Paypal for buyers protection but what about using Western Union just for this great offer since it is an exclusive offer to Gizchina.com readers and you are the founder, editor, etc. So, if something goes wrong, can you offer us your help? You know, creating a Paypal account in India is not an easy task, especially for students like me.

June 19, 2013
Sorry …. correction
Clarity please …
Are AndiW and Andy Sykes the same person ?
I just need to know to whom I am speaking (grin …)

In these offers the seller gives an OTG cable. I wonder is G4 supports OTG already?
- John
  June 19, 2013
  Comfirmed with spemall, it already support OTG function from hardware from this batch, that is why they offer an OTG cable

June 19, 2013
Hello,
I just tried the SPEMALL code ’10dayG4B’ on their site and CONFUSION was the result.
Their VERY HELPFUL … English speaking … Chat operator … accepted my comments about the code needing to be … complete …clear … and NOT changeable … and he said he would make that proposal to his company.
This is all good news and I am delighted to find a Chinese organisation that LISTENS !!!
All power to GIZCHINA and SPEMALL !

Sounds quite a good deal. I’m not interested in the cases/protectors but OTG functionality is important to me. However, the packs are a bit confusing. The spec table shows the standard accessories include the OTG cable, but then it’s also mentioned as an extra in packs B and C.
Having read a mixture of good and bad about spemall on trustpilot, the specs may not be reliable. Could pack A be the earlier model without OTG feature?
- Tivver
  June 19, 2013
  Correction, the spec page has now been changed and does not show OTG cable included. Waiting for an email reply on whether pack A has OTG support.
- Angelona
  June 19, 2013
  Option A do not including OTG cable, if you only need the OTG cable, you could choose option A and add the OTG cable together with jiayu G4 to shopping cart, it still works. and in this way the OTG cable cost you 4.3USD instead of 5.9USD, lol

  As far as i know most of free shipping from china is china post, but the china post is not reliable on time and safty, most of time it will take more than 30days to most of country in the world. for such a expensive phone, the expedited shipping is must, spemall offer very low in shipping cost. I like spemall, already brought opton B

Has anyone been able to find out if their phones have working USB otg, as I’m curious to see how jiayu can send out phones where this does not work and ones where it does, how is the consumer able to tell.
- AndyW
  June 19, 2013
  Well in the sales blurb from the product link given here:-
  “Notice On 18th June 2013, New batch 3000mah version with OTG cable supported,in stock for immediate shipment”
  I take that to mean OTG is supported. Worth checking with the live chat mob though when they’re back online.
  P.S For the benefit of Millgate I’m not Andi but Andy and most definitely not in India 🙂

June 19, 2013
Dear Andi,
is it possible that THIS PARTICULAR stock has working button’s backlit and … actually working OTG?
June 19, 2013

they claim the new batch does support OTG: “Notice On 18th June 2013, New batch 3000mah version with OTG cable supported,in stock for immediate shipment”

Hi andi,
For how long shall this discount work?Because I will definitely buy the Jiayu g4, but I’m little bit stuck since I don’t want to buy it and discover one week after that the turbo version( 2go Ram 32Go Rom) is available. They say that they will sell the Turbo version on their site, but do you have any idea of the release date? Thank you
- Angelona
  June 19, 2013
  The turbo version seems still need time, i checked with different sites and they said have no idea, i guess it is a long time. so i already brought mine from spemall. option C,
  - Manos
    June 19, 2013

    Yes the turbo is going to be late for sure !
    Im waitting to see because the Zopos have the new 1.5Ghz but not the 2Gb ram!

Anyone could tell me the difference of Expedited Shipping 60% OFF and
Standard Shipping 60% OFF. To ship to spain , there is only 1 dollar difference between them.
- AndyW
  June 19, 2013
  If you click on the “Shipping Cost” tab just below all the accessories on the product page then you can see the details:-
  Expedited Shipping 3-5 Working Days
  Standard Shipping 12-18 Working Days
  - Has anyone worked out why these ‘second Tier’ Chinese makers avoid OTA (Over The Air) updates.
    I asked the question st SPEMALL and their reply was … What’s OTA ?!!
    Is it simply ‘cost’ … and if so How Much ?
    - June 19, 2013
      It’s usually lack of resources. Once they have finished developing one phone and the OS for it, they usually start work on the next and don’t have the staff to work on updates.
      - Simon
        June 20, 2013
        When I first came across these chinese brands, one of the first companies I heard about was SmartQ. Apparently there are very good with releasing fimware updates for their devices.
- Manos

  Take the Standard Shipping 60% OFF to aovid any taxes! 2 weeks and will be at your local post office!

  - Vasilica

    spemall use DHL, EMS …for expedited shipping, singpost for standrad shipping, For DHL they will declare 24USD as value and repaired digital photo frame as products name, so it will not have taxes

Ordered one (Option A + OTG cable + leather pouch) to India (Expedite Shipment). Now the agonizing wait begins 😉
Jiayu G4 was decided a long time ago. I was thinking about the 2GB version, but because of the uncertainty I will settle for this one. Currently using the Mircromax A110 and I don’t like the length and width of the phone but I loved the big screensize which is very useful. That’s when I saw G4 with double the performance capacity and an awesome display. Battery life was more important for me than the FHD. And I badly needed OTG support. Since the seller is saying this version supports USB OTG, am taking this offer which seems a good one. Paid INR 14,846 ($252.40).

Tempting as this offer is, I think I’m going to bunker down and wait it out for the 6589T variant with 2GB.

the only reason i m not buying any of the jiayu phone is , none of them supports 850 mhz 3G for at&t in USA 🙁 otherwise they are great phones

  It supports 850Mhz network, you can see that in Andi’s review in section connectivity. https://www.gizchina.com/2013/05/30/jiayu-g4-review/

      When I placed my order I only got a confirmation order. They never said anything about shipping 10days later.
      They stated the devices are “in stock” so I have no idea why it would take 10days to ship out, If I knew I would never have paid the extra $ for Expedited Shipping.
      EDIT: Just got a mail from spemall, well I can’t say they don’t offer a good service. And I should blame it on myself for not reading the article well enough…
      quote from mail “If you use the coupon below, shipping in 10 days from today.”
      But still, its sad that if you use a coupon they delay your delivery 🙁
      - Tengu
        June 24, 2013
        Yes, on russian forum 4pda.ru many customers are upset with the delay of shipping. IMHO out of stock

    I guess most of orders are shipped around 2nd July. On the other hand, when I asked about shipping on the live chat before (I ordered 20th june), they claimed this date, so up to now they’re keep their word (which is in case of most chinese reseller’s sometimes unusual)

  ordered june 20, should be shipped today but as it is sunday I expect them to ship tomorrow, june 1st

  sounds good by the way 🙂

Hi everyone! I bought one on June 19th and finally received the “item shipped” e-mail today. Shortly after, I got an email from them stating I had to pay an extra 25$ for shipping because I live in a “remote area”! I live in a Portuguese city! In freakin Europe! How can this be a “remote area”?! I paid for >>WORLDWIDE<< shipping!

  I had same problem, you just have to change your delivery address (if you can). It’s just DHL’s issue, not SpeMall’s. Pls check pdf file on http://raslist.dhl.com/jsp/first.jsp . Yup, Europe doesn’t mean everything for int. companies :o(

Something weird is going on here ….
18 months ago I bought a 6 inch Smartphone from Chinavasion. It cost me about £118 including shipping tom the UK.
It shipped on the day I purchased it.
I Tracked it with DHL …EVERY STEP OF THE WAY …
I had it in my hands late on the 3rd working day.
Who has lost the plot here ?
