JiaYu M1
JiaYu’s German distributor has posted
images and specs of the upcoming JiaYu M1. Jiayu seem to still be in a stage of
limbo at the moment with news that they both will and won’t continue to make
flagship phones.
There is however evidence of a new phone
called the JiaYu M1, a budget device which is slated to go on sale in Germany
later in the year.
For those of you with a good knowledge
of Chinese phones, the JiaYu M1 might look familar, to our eyes it looks like a
slightly modified iNew V3 smartphone, and in fact even the 5-inch 1280 x 720
panel is the same size.
With budget buyers in mind the M1 will
come with 2 GB RAM, 16 GB memory, a (rather small) 2,750 mAh battery, MT6580
quad-core chipset, with the only highlights being the claimed 8 mega-pixel
front and 13 mega-pixel rear cameras (however expect actual specs to be nearer
5 MP + 8 MP).
Online pricing of similar phones would
suggest that the JiaYu M1 could sell for around US$ 70, however we expect a price
closer to US$ 100 for physical stores in the EU after taxes.
