On the right volume rocker

Packaging and equipment

The phone arrived to me from Singapore, in a fairly compact box with the inscription JIAYU G3 and 1G RAM.


The package bundle is rich, but it depends on the mood of the seller. It came to me: a phone, a microUSB cable, a charger, an adapter for a domestic outlet, a battery, headphones, a bumper, a film on the screen, a manual and a guarantee.

Let's start with the battery.
It's at 2750mAh, big enough. But with two cores it is enough, one might say, “back to back”. But there is enough for a day of active use. And this is about 1 hour of Internet video via WiFi, two hours of heavy games (for example Need for Speed ​​™ Most Wanted ), an hour of calls, and 2-3 hours to browse the Internet pages


Here is a photo confirming the battery capacity (2697mAh)


iHeadphones “gags” "
I liked the sound. Oddly enough, a lot of low frequencies are treated with an equalizer. Probably the first headphones that come with the phone, and I liked it. Jack 3.5mm, without microphone.


Bumper
In some trim levels there is a full cover, but the bumper came to me.


With it, the phone becomes more angular to the touch and begins to resemble the iPhone 4.
There are openings for USB and headphones. A fairly convenient accessory.


Charger
USB With an adapter. Although it is written that 500mA, the phone consumes 700mA. I think it will not be superfluous to exchange for a charger with a large current. Although it works well with a native. Charges fully for 5 hours. If you buy another charger, then note that some chargers do not have a Y capacitor, because of this, the capacitive multi-touch stops working when the phone is charging!


Warranty, instructions in Chinese and film on the screen.
That's where the paradox is - real Gorilla Glass is used and the film was put ... I did not glue it.
To whom this phone comes without it - I will give


DualSIM + microSD
Switching between SIM cards can be configured for calls one for messages another, or to ask each time.
You can attach each contact to your

microSD card SiliconPower 16Gb 10 class - no complaints. Support up to 32Gb

Someone on the forum said that they didn’t catch Wi-Fi (a router behind a brick wall). A


camera of
8 megapixels with autofocus.

More photos

The phone is sold in three colors (photo from the seller’s page)


I bought it on aliexpress.com . I won’t tell the seller exactly, since the phones quickly end at one seller and appear at another, it’s better to write to the sellers in a personal email and ask.
Delivery took 35 days from the date of payment. It cost me $ 220, now its price is about $ 200.

A topic about getting root rights was raised in questions. I will say right away - I did not receive it. But after reading the forum I realized that there is nothing complicated. Everything is painted in stages.
I installed the drivers from here

. That's all. There will be comments / suggestions - write in a personal, we will correct and add.

Note: Some may complain that their interlocutors are hard of hearing. Easy to fixadding microphone sensitivity in the engineering menu.

UPD: Got ROOT rights. I threw the archive into the root of SD. And in the settings, click on the software update. Reboot All. A matter of 3 minutes. Comrade andrey_snegovik provided a link to the

UPD2 archive : JiaYu G3 was discontinued. At the end of February we are waiting for the JiaYu G4, and this is a completely different story ...
