Jiayu S3 price announced at just $162 with 3GB RAM, LTE and 64Bit SoC

dakele..never understimate thier phones…not sure why they don’t advertise that much on international hoping sites but they had done that on black friday with 1949deal.so hope we will hear from them more

NFC is also great (for me) and this is only available on the 3GB RAM version. You won’t be able to get this phone for 169 US dollar unless you live in China. Expect prices around 180-200 US dollar depending on the model version

Yeah with upcoming 64Bit and 3GB of Ram for 162, I guess the old MTK6582 phones will be sold under 100$ next year.

Well the phone is yet to be given an official date, so probably the right decision to get a ZP999 as a Christmas gift 🙂

You could be right, if we look at Jiayu G6 it’s a damn expensive.

I don’t think they are going to lie about this price, so the price should be real. They have advertised it already with these prices. If Xiaomi can do it with their Redmi series phones, why can’t another Chinese manufacturer do the same thing. Basically a change in strategy in order to survive in the competitive market in China.

Even Meizu will release a budget phone with the same chipset as this phone and also around this price according to rumors.

The real more important question is, when do they release the phone on the market in large quantities?

They say early January, but we all know that there can be delays (especially from Jiayu), The release date of 3GB RAM version with NFC is still unknown, so you could be waiting a couple of months before they release this on the market. By then, the market could be flooded by phones with similar specs.

The G6 was always expensive.

you see, jiayu is famous for exensive handsets but don’t forget..they had also 3 phones which were truely the lowest in the time of their launch like(jiayu 3c/jiayu g4s/Jiayu g2f)…So,I think It’s possible for this company to do that…also, already the coolpad f2 is in that range..so, Maybe in “January”, 64bit MTK,will be cost less or…

let’s be optimistic

& lets hope they will make mini version too. as this company is the only one in chinese which offers”really” the best specs for everyone’s choice regarding size(bigger and less than 5 inch)

I HOPE its BELOW 170$ ! (the 3gb version!)

In Europe, you have to pay much more for this phone most likely. I rather buy it from Chinese webshops

I thought i would never buy anything bigger than 4.7 inch screen but after buying Xiaomi Note I think the size is not an issue and would never go back to a smaller screen – phone fits perfectly in all of my pockets and I’ve hardly ever used my tablet since. Plus it’s tougher and faster than my wife’s Samsung Note 3 (other than graphics perhaps, but noticeably so in daily use) and battery lasts much longer. Just an awesome piece of hardware that has never lagged or rebooted for the 9 months I’ve had it and I have about 300 apps installed on it… Jiayu S3 seems like an excellent phone and will definitely buy one to try.

It is better (Xiaomi Note 4G). I owned both of them. But 5.5″ is killing me. Need the same, 4.7 or 5.0 phone, but still choosing.

no offense to you brother , BUT , in 1980 people were doing the same thing…

computer , walkman , radio , cameras , ALL had different distince forms!

BUT

now all are merged into ONE!

same goes for phablet , soon i think laptop might be obsolete if smartphones and tablets can have a potent baby 😀

Ok, than I say this way: The width of my phone(Jiayu G2F”) is 62 mm. I think 65 mm is the max I would like.

Why should this be a scam?

However, the price is a placeholder price, meaning they are going to change it to around 200 USD dollar most likely after they got stock.

You have to wait even longer for the 3GB version

That’s not an existencial question, its a dumb question. Check the processors performance and answer yourself 🙂
