If you are looking at a midrange flagship Android phone from China, then the iOcean MT6752 Rock and JiaYu S3 are likely candidates for you. To make life a little easier here is a hands on comparison of both phones.

JiaYu launched their S3 earlier this year and the phone has been an instant hit with fans so Chinese phones, JiaYu and good quality devices in general. Shortly after JiaYu launched the S3, iOcean brought their MT6752 Rock on the market with similar hardware but quirky design and styling. Of the two phones which one is better for you?

iOcean MT6752 Rock vs JiaYu S3 video comparison: Which to choose?

With both phones packing similar specifications it really comes down to just a few details as to which I personally recommend you buy.

The iOcean MT6752 Rock comes with 3GB RAM as standard, is slightly thinner and has a 14 mega-pixel rear camera, it also has a more original design but it comes down to personal preference as to if you actually like the look of it or not.

The JiaYu S3 is the cleaner, more simple looking phone, it also has a larger 3000mAh battery, shorter and narrower body, cleaner looking UI, dual LED flash and proven 13 mega-pixel Sony IMX214 sensor.

After spending many weeks with both phone I can happily say that both flagship devices offer high-end performance and for gaming and everyday use there really isn’t much more that you could want for. Looking at the other features though and I would say that the UI and finish of the ROM on the JiaYu S3 just seems a little more polished, plus the camera on the S3 performs better than the iOcean based on current ROM versions.

Both the iOcean MT6752 Rock and JiaYu S3 are available internationally now. Do you own one of these phones? Do you plan do buy one? Let us know which you prefer and why below.

I heard that people can see the pixel matrix on Jiayu S3’s LCD screen. Is that true? I see people complaining about it.

The charger of iocean M6752 seems like having a better quality than JiaYu’s. M6752 is coming with a 5V/2A fast charger. S3 comes with a 5V/1A charger. It is not a fast charger, isn’t it?

  Is the most important thing I’m scrutinizing when I’m buying a phone.
  Seems legit.
  Here’s 2 option for them :
  1. You need the fast charger for the “rock” since you have to use it mid day thanks to its pitiful 2300mAh battery.
  2. You can use the S3 all day and let it charge on the night to use it all day again tomorrow.

I don’t know about Jiayu S3, but I have the M6752 and I must say it is a great phone! The fast charger works quite well and is a fast and robust phone.

Jiayu has CRIPPLED / DISABLED the support for FastCharge !
MediaTek Pump Express™
By cutting typical recharge times by up to 45% !
Pump ExpressTM technology is available in two forms to suit different
battery capacities. Pump ExpressTM is designed for DC wall chargers
with an output of less than 10W (5V), while Pump ExpressTM Plus is for
chargers with an output of 15W or more (up to 12V).
So NOW that i am among the few that tell the TRUE, do notice this that
device companies do really CRIPPLE their devices !
So Jiayu by disabling the MediaTek Pump Express™
the battery will now charge not in 2 Hours, but in over 4 ours !
proof:
.field public static final MTK_PUMP_EXPRESS_SUPPORT:Z = false
more intel here:

- Maybe a 3000mah battery that supports faster charging is a more costly component

  Stop posting this everywhere. The first time it was informative. The second it was annoying. The times after that was just spam.

    .field public static final MTK_PUMP_EXPRESS_SUPPORT:Z = false
    it is a must be ENABLED and RUNNING for MediaTek devices !
    As Qualcomm has FastCharge 2.0 ENABLED and RUNNING.
    If some considering this useful “intel” as a spam, then i guess peoples are NOT ready for receiving the TRUE about what they are buying !
    How else would u know or who here on GIZCHINA noticed this ?!
    And by the way miss Airyl, don’t u remember anymore when U did/had posted the same NEWS, TWICE !

      is it possible to enable it? Jiayu probably disabled it to avoid the battery from exploding during charging… something like that tho… My mt6582 phone charges real fast, litltle more than 2 hours on a 2A charger…

I would probably spend a little more and get the THL 2015. I have always had good results with THL phones.
