One of the big draws of the JiaYu S3 is it’s octacore, 64bit MT6752 processor. How does this new mid-range chip perform and is it the powerhouse we had been hoping? Find out with our JiaYu S3 MT6732 benchmarks.
Mediatek really have Qualcomm on the ropes this year, where as the current range of Snapdragon chips are less than underwhelming, Mediatek are taking the phone world by storm. As usual Chinese phone makers have been the first to take advantage of Mediatek’s new hardware to make their already great hardware even more powerful than before.
Luckily we received the JiaYu S3 smartphone earlier which boasts a 64bit MT6752 chipset. This is an octacore chipset running at 1.7Ghz and a Mali-T760 GPU. The version of the JiaYu S3 that we have on test is the 2GB RAM version running Android 4.4.4 Kitkat ans like all S3 versions has a 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080 display.
As this is the first MT6752 phone I have had chance to really play around with I ran a host of benchmark applications to give the JiaYu S3 and the MT6752 processor a through test. Below are the results:

JiaYu S3 Benchmarks Screenshots
In addition to these test I also tested the GPS and managed a lock on time of under a minute which isn’t quite as good as the Elephone P6000 we tested a short while back (with MT6732 processor).
As you can see we have got some pretty good scores from the JiaYu S3 and the MT6752 chipset itself, of course real world testing is the only real measure of how well a phone performs and I intend to write up a full and complete review.

Keep posting to GizChina for more benchmarks, reviews and news.
This phone seems to be the one everyone is waiting for 2015. It would be nice if you let us know how the GPS perform, meaning accuracy. One minute lock is acceptable as long as it’s accurate once you are driving.
Thanks for the review anyway, so far the best reviews around the web
Only had the phone for a few hours, please be patient for the full review.
Yes, Yes! Im really looking foward to buy this phone, and the GPS is very important to me. Please it would be very nice to know more about GPS accuracy on Jiayu s3. thank you very much Andi.
I wasn’t rushing you, take your time.
If the GPS is accurate then this mid-range mediatek could steal some customers from high-range Qualcomm.
Andi, any news about Lenovo Note 8 Advanced?
nope
Btw MHL and OTG functions are available on Jiayu S3Advnc? Hope to see the full review soon. Thank you again Andi.
MHL probably not, Miracast yes, OTG yes
Thanks
Also test the call quality of the phone and the speakers. Some Chinese users have complaints about these matters.
For example, in a noisy environment, a Chinese user have said that is very difficult to hear each other voices.
“GPS [ of the MT6752] … isn’t quite as good as the … MT6732”
How is that possible? What have they done wrong?
GPS is not that related to the cpu, if it has glonass it should fix in a second and dont loss connection during driving a car.
jiayu must have done something wrong, maybe the antenna.
too bad, i have been waiting to buy this phone.
If you check out the Jiayu forums they say the lock is very strong. Even seen some photos of having a lock indoor.

install jiayu.es app manually. use that to download TWRP and gapps. Install TWRP and then install gapps by using TWRP
Hey Andi i am really confused between Jiayu S3 and nubia z7 max. i have been waiting for this review since the phone was released, i am actually looking at big battery good UI and most important is dual sim support
andi, do you know how to install google play?

Hi, Andi
Will you test ECOO E04 Aurora (6752 version) ? I’m very interested to order this phone.
I have one on the way to me 😉
Great 🙂 Please check if it have notification light, if this is not a problem for you.
Thank you in advance
Seems like Jiayu will need to optimize the ROM a little. The 3DMark score is too low in my opinion. My Cube T7 does reach 10,448 in the Ice Storm Unlimited test at slightly higher resolution.
Yeah they need, also for the camera quality. But, if they don’t, I guess soon we gonna have good customs roma for S3.
Pictures are already good. I heard about some issue on videos… However Jiayu is publishing a ROM every week (check needrom.com)
Yeah the pictures are superb, the only problem now is the video recording is not showing the true power of the camera.
We’ll have to root the S3 first though before flashing custom roms.
Simon, the phone is rooted out the box, just have to activate superuser on settings. I would say, the first thing to do now is port a proper recovery for it, like Philz Touch or Carliv 🙂
Oh wow really thats cool. How about TWRP ?
i’d quite like custom kernels like Franco, Elemental X to go alongside some roms: CM12, LiquidSmooth, Euphoria (formerly Mahdi).
TWRP also is a good option too!
Jiayu phones also got great support and custom roms and even custom kernels, you can check on needroom, there’s a lot of roms for Jiayu phones, and judging the Jiayu S3 will be a sucess of sellings, we can wait the better of development for it!
Nice, I didn’t know that. Are you waiting for the 3GB version as well ?
Yeah man, I want the monstrous multitasking of 3GB of Ram Haha and also NFC is a pretty cool feature to ignore.
Which colour are you going to choose ?
I want the whole black version, for me the black color on the back gives the more premium finish for design. Btw I would after buy the other backovers too, the white and silver one! You know, just to try Lol
Yeah why not. I’m planning on buying this phone around March time (hopefully the 3GB ram version will be out by then), I hope I’m not going to be disappointed.
I’m too! I guess the phone will come out, just before the chinese new year, some sellers said that. And around March we also can see good reviews of the phone, here on Gizchina and also on youtube, I will wait it.
Thats exactly the plan 🙂
Jiayu S3 has scored 6508 under ice storm extreme whereas it should score much higher in icestorm unlimited which is resolution independent and is tested at 720p offscreen

Geekbench scores look really nice for MT6752… if I am not mistaken MT6595 has less on multicore score.

I’ve got a problem with my S3 Advanced. I have root activated in the settings, but only CPU-Z shows me that it is rooted. Everything else fails and tells me that my SU-binary is outdated, but I don’t have a clue how to update it. Do you have any suggestions?

Any of these new phone support T-mobile LTE?
just the band #2 @1900MHz, but it’s not used everywhere

Please test the gps. It is very important because of the past of Jiayu in this sector
Andy, maybe Jiayu released a new ROM version, right today. Could you check OTA upgrades?
I read it in chinese forum, some user made a ROM extraction, I didn’t understand if the date he reported is related to extraction date or ROM date.
yep there is an update and will test it

All 64-Bit loves. Please keep in mind that these benchmarks are all 32-bit only. The AArch64 on Android Lollipop will perform much faster!
