Just when we thought Xiaomi brought about a revolution with their $130 quad-coreXiaomi Hongmi smartphone, a certain JiaYu perhaps took offence and decided to redefine the term ‘low costquad-core phone’!
The only gripe at this moment is that the JiaYu G2F will initially come only with TD-SCDMA support, with a WCDMA variant scheduled for release later. The device will go on sale in China 5th December, priced just 499 Yuan. To remind you of its specifications, it will come with a 4.3 inch 720p IPS screen, 1.3GHz quad-core MT6582 processor, 1GB RAM, 4GB ROM and an 8 mega-pixel rear and 2 mega-pixel front shooter. The phone will be powered by a 2,200mAh battery and will run LewaOS out of the box.

The prospect of a sub-$120 (internationally shipped, hopefully) is really exciting! Do you see the JiaYu G2F as your secondary ‘mini’ phone? Let us know!

It’s an odd one this as the MT6582 chipset in this phone actually supports both TD-SCDMA and WCDMA. I wonder if there is a way to unlock it somehow?
