Jiayu release JiaYu S3 5.5-inch screen photos and details


jiayu s3 display

It’s quite common for manufacturers to justify there choices when it comes to design and hardware, which is exactly what we saw from JiaYu today when they posted images of the 5.5-inch JiaYu S3 display.

The JiaYu S3 is the next Mediatek powered flagship from the Shenzhen based phone maker. As we had seen in the specifications (posted here) the S3 uses a 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080 display, but that was all we did know, here are more details.

JiaYu say that they have sourced their LCD panel from LG while the screen itself is made by a company named Truly who are based in HongKong and have been making screens from big name companies (Vivo , Huawei, Sony) since 1991.

Gorilla Glass 3 gives the screen a bit of protection while a Synopsys IC touch chip for fast touch response. Being a 2014/15 flagship the display is of course an OGS ISP model.

We’ve seen slimmer bezels, JiaYu are saying that the 75.5mm S3 has 3.25m bezels, but they look good on the white front panel here either side of the screen. Finally those touch buttons are back lit, something which JiaYu G4 owners will be happy about.

The S3 will be the first 64bit LTE phone from JiaYu and should be on sale either the end of this year or early next year.

    Synaptics not Synopsys.

    Nice, but this phone is, like many other flagship phones, too big for me. I can only hope that the rumors about the S4, with a proposed screen size of 4.7″, are true.

    I don’t think the ones who go for g4 will go for this so yeah it’s great that the buttons are back lit but the g4 owners will probably find this kind of phone too big anyway (it has the same height as a phablet a h d it’s only slightly less wide). Anyway, it’s good to see that jiayu is still in the game…

    5.2-5.3 inch is the perfect size for me.

    Knowing Jiayu this phone will retail at about 259$, if they go for the 199$ they might have a real contender.

      $199 would be amazing, but I doubt it is that price. Most likely somewhere around 250 usd as you mentioned. If it is above that price, than it is not worth it in my opinion.

      Older flagship models (that have Snapdragon 800 chipset) have a great price-performance value, such as the Mi3, Iuni u2

      what?? 260 dollars? probably more like 330 dollars, the jiayu s2 is 300 dollars at the moment. why would je jiayu s3 be less than that?
