just remembered a video i seen a while back.

Jiayu G4 - Gorilla Glass 2 test

was posted more than a month ago so i would assume they have some kind of connection to jiayu

I was thinking the same thing.. hopefully something was lost in translation somehow, but he did go into detail about how it wouldn't have gorilla glass and there might some kind of tempered glass version for the US market.. :wacko:

yeah, he did go into some detail about that, so maybe its not a mistake. He also went into some detail about how his company was out to supply the lowest cost phones. So, I'm wondering if the Indian market will see normal glass, but in the west, we'll see gorilla glass? I'm no expert on these Chinese phones, but they do seem to fragment their model lines, with more than one version. Makes it even more important to be sure of what you're buying...

I'm hoping the international market will get some kind of toughened glass but I just saw this promo video and if you skip to 2:15 they list some specs in English, and they don't mention gorilla glass, just OGS, IPS screen.. it doesn't mean it won't have gorilla glass, seeing as the phone hasn't been released yet... but it is pretty close to the launch date.

OK hold the phone.. 43 seconds into this video and "Generation Two Gorilla Glass Display" listed. :)

best thing to do would be to just email jiayu and ask them if they can clear up the confusion (gorilla glass or not ?) :huh:

i would but i cant seem to find an email for them ?

on the jiayu mobile shop site : Retina screen, 312PPI, IPS screen, Corning II Gorilla Glass,

OGS full lamination technology ??

Fairly conclusive i'd say

Jiayumobileshop is fake. Ejiayu is the real site :P

... yeah it was mentioned already but I wasn't sure if it had been confirmed. The fake sites in China are so open, blatant and elaborate how do we know that the G4 even exists. LOL

OGS (one glass solution)

theses displays look amazing...

it makes the display look like a picture stuck on top of the glass lol, i could never go back to using standard IPS displays.

Saw this last week on gizchina. This article has a list of official distributors. http://www.gizchina....rs-listed-here/

But if anybody is looking to purchase in China from a genuine source then they are not listed on this page, unless I missed it?

Yeah I've just been read the comments on that article. Someone mentioned the same thing. Just went to the India site, and there is a notice on there that it has been set up in cooperation with androidguruz. That's where they guy in the video is from. If they ship internationally, that may be an option. (funny thing he said no gorilla glass in the video but the India site clearly states gorilla glass on the G4) crazy...

I tell you what Jiayu is on the move. We have a UK distributor now! Probably cost more than buying from China or India, but you'd have local support and warranty.

PS: the UK site only has a parking space on the web for now.

I believe its a hoax as all the distributors are at jiayumobileshop, which is fake.

yeah, I know about those fake sites. I actually found the link in the gizchina article http://www.gizchina....rs-listed-here/ that included a statement from Jiayu about these fake distributors. At the end of the article there is a link to Jiayu's approved distributors and as of last night the UK didn't have one. This morning (GMT) it does. So, unless that gizchina article has been hijacked, it all seems legit.

In fact if you if you go to the Jiayu offiical distributors page there are (sorry you saw that page :P) anyway the links to stores in Italy, Spain, and Germany all work. Also the India store has a blog that includes news of the same event that is in that video that Tillaz posted. And the same guy from androidguruz has his picture is in there as well. Unless this is some elaborate scam, it seems to be the real thing. Either that, or this Andi from gizchina actually put a fake link into an article about fake distrubitors. That wouldn't be very bright :D

more news on the G4, looks nice

http://www.gizchina....dy-looks-great/

further to the discussion about which sites are legit. This is dialogue from the comments section on the gizchina article mentioned above. Andi is the author and I think the main man behind gizchina.

What is real official Jiayu shop?

http://www.jiayuofficial.com/

or

http://www.jiayumobileshop.com/

or something else?

Thanks

I had a long chat with JiaYu and some of the official distributors today. Only the sites listed in the article are official. The others aren’t despite what the name says.

Who cares what the official site is, when you buy it in a online store and pay less. With paypall buyers protection they cant scam you.

As for the gorilla glass i asume it will have gorilla glass since every site states that i think the androidguru is wrong

yeah that's the address that's on the jiayu site. Just did a street view on the address. It's somebody's house. Not sure if that's good or not? Companies House webcheck shows this as an current name for a company.

paypal is good protection no doubt, but it isn't fail safe. But the main reason would be warranty and service. If you ever needed it the wait should be much shorter, and you shouldn't have to pay for the return shipping.

Not sure how true that is, if you get genuine jiayu ok, but if you ended up with a fake from China then would paypal protect you??
