It looks like
everyone wants to cash in on the budget smartphone market in India.
Chinese manufacturer Jiayu reportedly plans to launch three smartphones
in India priced at Rs. 3,000, Rs. 8,000 and Rs. 9,000 for an entry
level, dual-core and quad-core smartphone respectively.
No details are available for the
specifications of the entry-level or the dual-core phone but information
about the quad-core phone (Jiayu G4 and Jiayu G4 Basic) is available
and the device looks quite interesting.
The Jiayu G4 Basic boasts of dual-SIM
capabilities along with dual standby capabilities, 2G GSM
850/900/1800/1900MHz and 3G WCDMA 2100MHz. It runs on Android 4.1 Jelly
Bean straight out of the box. Under the hood, a 1.2GHz Mediatek MTK6589
Cortex A7 quad-core processor, along with PowerVR SGX 544 GPU and 1GB of
RAM, powers the device.
The G4 has a 4.7-inch IPS display with a
1280x720 pixel resolution giving it a pixel density of 312ppi. The
quad-core Jaiyu smartphone features a 13MP rear camera with flash, and a
0.3MP front camera for video chatting. It also has 4GB of built-in
storage, an 1800mAh battery, and weighs in at 420 grams.
The higher variant of the Jiayu G4 will
have 32GB built-in storage, 2GB of RAM and a 3000mAh battery. All the
other specifications will be the same as the lower end G4. There is no
information about which version of the G4 will launch in India and what
is the launch period for the devices.
The video below gives us a first look at
the build and design of the Jiayu G4. At the end of the video, in the
specifications, it is revealed that there will be two variants of the
device.
There are two things that we can notice
here. The first is that a quad-core device will be priced at Rs. 9,000.
This fact isn’t groundbreaking since we have the Karbonn Smart Titanium 1 that is priced at Rs. 10,990 and boasts of a quad-core processor. What has surprised us the SoC that is powering the Jiayu G4.
The MediaTek MTK6589 powers the Jiayu G4, which is the same SoC that we have seen on the Micromax A116 Canvas HD. You can take an in-depth look at the details of the processor here.
The Micromax A116 Canvas HD features a
5-inch IPS display with a 1280x720 pixel resolution, the same MediaTek
MT6589 processor, 1GB of RAM, PowerVR SGX5 GPU, dual-SIM capabilities,
4GB built-in storage expandable up to 32GB via a microSD card, an 8MP
rear camera, 0.3MP front camera, and a 2100mAh battery.
What remains to be seen is the
performance of the A116 Canvas HD under benchmarks. Micromax during the
unveiling of the A116 (read our first impressions) didn’t give a final price tag to the device but did say that the phone would be priced under Rs. 15,000.
The Karbonn Smart Titanium 1 on the other hand
has a 4.5-inch qHD (540x960 pixels) display, and most importantly, is
powered by 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon quad-core CPU based on the
MSM8225Q SoC, and Adreno 203 GPU. This is coupled with 1GB of RAM, a 4GB
ROM and expandable memory via a microSD card slot. Other specifications
include a 1600mAh battery, a 5MP rear-facing camera, and a front camera
(presumably VGA) for video calls. Straight out-of-the-box, the phone
runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
If the Micromax A116 Canvas HD is priced
around Rs. 15,000 then it will face some serious competition from the
G4, which will be priced at Rs. 9,000. Notably, the Jiayu’s 13MP camera
is a big distinction between the devices, though we know megapixel count
is not any assurance for image quality.
Quad-core budget smartphones have been
announced in India. What remains to be seen is which one of them takes
the first movers advantage and releases their device in India.
