Guest putbinoot Posted December 31, 2012 Report Posted December 31, 2012 You should of waited for the G4 ;) And then what wait for the G5, as soon as something is released it's out of date almost. Just buy what you need, my G3 does everything I need.
Guest FrankieADZ Posted December 31, 2012 Report Posted December 31, 2012 have to agree with u there. if u dont like the bigger screen go for the G2S. in terms of value. I'd certainly say its one of the best phones out there. having used it for a good couple of weeks now. just waiting for the official JB update :)
Guest gn123 Posted December 31, 2012 Report Posted December 31, 2012 What's the build quality like on the G3? Think it could survive a couple of drops? Looking at the G4, it looks like it might support the 900mhz band O2 and Giffgaff use for their 3G/HSDPA. I might have the chance to pick one up from Hong Kong in the summer if it is out by then.
Guest reganlives Posted December 31, 2012 Report Posted December 31, 2012 Build quality of the G3 is really good. I think it may survive drops but I would advise keeping it in a case. I managed to get one of the original Jiayu cases thrown in when I bought mine and its not bad but as its such a tight fit like other cases it has the tendency of getting in the way of the screen protector. I'm going to try and get a better screen protector to put on which will stay on even if I have a case on.

Just buy what you need, my G3 does everything I need. Yeah that's true, it took Jiayu ages to release the G3 :D However, the G1/2/2S was released on time, so the Jiayu G4 may be released on time too. I'm sure the G3's release time was just a mistake. P.s. There may be a G5 too, but it will be a 5 inch phone to compete with other phablets.

Guest kyan31 Posted December 31, 2012 Report Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) JB 4.1.2 seems to be available http://www.needrom.com/mobile/jiayu-g3-2/ This isn't stock JB. Its the LeWa ROM, so it may be buggy and unfinished. Edited December 31, 2012 by kyan31
Guest dbaseii Posted January 12, 2013 Report Posted January 12, 2013 Recieved my Jiayu G3 yesterday. Excellent phone. The build quality is great. Already rooted
Guest twrock Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) I'm seriously trying to decide between the G3 and G2S. My previous phone was only 3.5" screen, and I do want a larger screen. My phone is 117mm in length. But the G3 with 4.5" screen ends up being so much longer overall from my previous phone that I wonder if I'll be too likely to bend/break it, since I carry my phone in my front pants pocket. At least the G2S is only 125mm long, but the G3 is even 10mm longer than that! Does the G3 have a metal chassis, or is it only metal on the ends that you can see? Maybe if it has metal throughout the length of the body, it will be protected from bending. Does anyone know if the G2S has any metal in the body? I can't figure out how it is made from the descriptions I've seen so far. But I really like the rest of the G2S specifications. Edit: ignore my taglines; they are for the Pulse forum where I usually hang out Edited January 14, 2013 by twrock
Guest dbaseii Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 I believe that it has a metal chassis. Don't worry about bending, it doesn't
Guest dbaseii Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 http://www.gizmochina.com/2012/09/05/short-review-jiayu-g3-android-smartphone/
Guest reganlives Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 Just to clarify for everyone, I own a G3 and from what I can see it doesnt have a metal chassis. Yes the front of the phone looks metal but I believe it is just stuck on metal bits. As for the chassis, with the back off of the phone, its all plastic so unless theres a metal frame under it then I would say its plastic but overall it is an excellent quality phone and is robust.
Guest dbaseii Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 Reganlives are you using stock rom or have you found an alternative?

G3 is better for battery life, do not use antelife as they don't reply to emails, and they have a lot if problems. Use fastcatdtech or Uredeal. Tillaz said merimobiles is good too, but I have never used it. Personally, I would use fastcardtech.
