The flagship JiaYu S1 has quitely launched outside of China and now available internationally at just $370!
It is no secret that we have a soft spot for JiaYu here at GizChina. The Chinese phone maker easily produces some of the best manufactured phones available, and their cost:specification raito has always been more than generous.
The JiaYu S1 is the current flagship phone from JiaYu, but unlike the rest of their range, the S1 is the first model to replace a Mediatek processor with a much more advanced Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 unit! The S600 in the JiaYu S1 runs at 1.7Ghz (the same as the Oppo N1) plus there is 2GB RAM and 32GB of internal memory too!

Jiayu don’t appear to have cut any corners on the S1 as the quality contniues to the 5-inch 1920 x 1080 display from Sharp, Corning Gorilla Glass, 13 mega-pixel Sony main camera, not to mention NFC, and wireless charging! This is the level of hardware we are use to seeing in phones which cost $600+ but the JiaYu S1 costs only $370!

Actually, the only way to compare is to find the same phone with similar hardware and battery with S600 and S800 versions, Lets say the Optimus G pro and the LG G2, both have 3000mA batteries, 5″ 1080p screens, 3G ram, the only major change between both models is S600 vs S800, the S800 packing Lg G2 lasts for longer on a battery thats only 100mA bigger.
