    I think one problem with the UMI is so tin that its liable for the screen to crack.

    I know we had a report of that here, but surely they've moved on to proper Gorilla Glass (-esque) screens by now?
    The battery was a bit rubbish by all accounts.

    Gorilla Glass II no less, not sure what it means but sounds marvellous

    Sounds like a great bit of kit, not enough to tempt me away from the G3 right now though (if you can even find a seller), reckon Ill be going for a 5 inch phone next time and Ill easily knock another year out of the G3.

    Tempting though, I could see the G4 becoming a modding community phone of choice for the current gen with those specs.

    On adverts.ie? Just from personal experience get rid of it ASAP to whoever will Paypal the cash that instant and dont worry about being nice to people, if they didnt take it off you straight away they're not going to come back for it and are only wasting your time, I swear there are more people on Adverts interested in starting fights and bitching at each other about prices than there are buyers and sellers.

    Hey there guys, just found about these Jiayu phones recently and am thinking of buying one. But first, a few questions;

    Is there any noticeable difference between the g3 and g3s?
    Is Mixeshop.com the place to get one?
    Is there any TV out solution for it? It'll be my first android so was thinking of maybe hooking my ps3 controller up to it and using as an emulator.
    Also, is it updatable to 4.2.2? if it is, do you think it'll be updatable anymore into the future?

    The G3s is quad core so will be faster.
    Merimobiles and Mixeshop are the best I think.

    Are you going by the fact that it says that it's in stock? It's been saying that for the past week even though it's been OOS.
