    New JiaYu g3 china phone competitor – the UMi X with mtk6577 dual-core dual sim (photo gallery)

    Just as the JiaYu is about to come out with their new g3, the UMi X comes along and steals some thunder.  Now, I’m not sure what the problem is with JiaYu getting their license is, but whatever it is, other companies are not waiting around and coming out with some excellent spec phones while JiaYu messes about.

  • JiaYu G3 dual-core mtk6577 vs JiaYu G2 mtk6577 comparison and pictures

    JiaYu G3 dual-core mtk6577 vs JiaYu G2 mtk6577 comparison and pictures

    Both great looking phones, but I think I’ll take the JiaYu g3 if given the choice.  Now, what’s great is that they BOTH have 1gb RAM and the mtk mt6577 / mtk6577.  So performance wise there shouldn’t be much of a difference. JiaYu has a significantly better screen, and it’s larger as well. (more…)

  • JiaYu g3 mtk6577 release date confirmed!

    JiaYu g3 mtk6577 release date confirmed!

    Well, just as I was finishing up the previous JiaYu g3 article, the news came through that the JiaYu g3 will be released on September 5th!  Only 2 days away from the time of this posting.

    So you will be able to purchase the JiaYu g3 officially on September 5th, but there seems a slight hitch.  We can’t 100% confirm this, but it LOOKS like the accessories will be purchased in addition to the phone.  The prices listed are: (more…)

  • JiaYu G3 mtk6577 Dual-core, Dual-sim 1gb RAM, ICS China phone almost released!

    JiaYu G3 mtk6577 Dual-core, Dual-sim 1gb RAM, ICS China phone almost released!

    What’s not to love?  Well, the wait time for the JiaYu G3 to actually be released is one thing not to love.  It seems like it’s just one thing after another.  From the issues with getting the proper licensing in China, to problems with the camera and LCD quality.

    Though perhaps we should be glad.  Much better for them to get things right than to release a shoddy product, wouldn’t you say?  Well, let’s get on with the specs: (more…)

  • Sony Xperia Sola phone can be used without touching the screen

    Sony Xperia Sola phone can be used without touching the screen

    The new Sony Xperia Sola has the tech to be used with your finger floating above the LCD as opposed to actually touching it.  There is a demo below.  For the most part, this seems like silly technology.  I, for one, like the feel of my finger gliding over the glass.

    Though, let’s take a closer look… From this video (below), it doesn’t look nearly sensitive or quick enough, but if the technology were to improve, I could envision it being used with gaming. (more…)

  • Zopo zp300+ Dual-Core Dual-Sim China phone with mtk6577 released

    Zopo zp300+ Dual-Core Dual-Sim China phone with mtk6577 released

    Just the last month or so, phones with the mtk mt6577 / mtk6577 dual-core CPU have started to be released.  Zopo looked like they were a bit behind the curve because their new smartphones had the older gen mtk6755.  Which still is a fine CPU, but with the MTK MT6589 / MTK6589 quad-core right around the corner, you don’t want to look decidedly low tech with your single core CPU do you?

    Well, Zopo is well aware and made the changes to suit.  Their zp300 has a been upgraded to zp300+ with mtk mt6577 / mtk6577 dual-core. Excellent news for the consumer!

    The specs:
