JiaYu G3 vs Newman N1

• Tweet

This is my first post in the Comparisons category of this site. Since many are asking, which of these two said phones is the best buy, I decided to come up with this so-called comparison guide for each and everyone.

Note that this is just based on my personal evaluation on the data we can gather, as I do not have the phones in hand actually.

The JiaYu G3 and Newman N1 is yet to arrive and many people already decided to get the JiaYu G3 for them, but then this Newman N1 came for a slightly lower price and also with those impressive specs.

In case you have missed it, check out my spec reviews on the said MT6577 smartphones:

• JiaYu G3 review
• Newsmy Newman N1 review

So well then, let’s now proceed on comparing these two.

JiaYu G3 vs Newman N1: System and CPU

Phone model	CPU	GPU	Android OS	Language
JiaYu G3	MT6577 Dual Core 1.0GHz	PowerVR SGX Series5 3D	Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS)	English, Italian, French. Spanish, Russian, Thai, Vietnamese, Arabic, German, Indonesian, Chinese, Turkish, Portuguese, Malay, others
Newman N1	MT6577 Dual Core 1.0GHz	PowerVR SGX531 Ultra	Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS)	English, Italian, French. Spanish, Russian, Thai, Vietnamese, Arabic, German, Indonesian, Chinese, Turkish, Portuguese, Malay, others

The only difference here is the GPU used. Cannot say much about as I cannot find much information about hte SGX531 Ultra, whether its a bettr shot than the Series5 3D. You might like to read about the wiki article about PowerVR GPUs. Other stuff, just the same. They use the same MT6577 dual core CPU chip, runs on Android 4.0 ICS and has multi-language support.

Winner: Draw.

JiaYu G3 vs Newman N1: Memory

Memory-wise, they have the same 1GB RAM and 4GB ROM. Both supports 32GB external SD card expansion.

Winner: Draw.

JiaYu G3 vs Newman N1: Physical

Phone model	Size	Weight
JiaYu G3	135 x 65 x 10.8 mm	121 g
Newman N1	127.5 × 65 × 9.8 mm	130 g

The Newman N1 is slightly thinner at 1mm difference, the JiaYu G3 has greater length of 7.5mm difference. They have the same width, but the Newman N1 is heavier even if it has the lesser volume. Well, these physical specs isn’t really an important factor on choosing which phone is better for smart guys, do you agree?

Winner: Conditional.

JiaYu G3 vs Newman N1: Screen

Phone model	Size	Type	Resolution
JiaYu G3	4.5 inches	IPS	HD resolution (1280 x 720 pixels)
Newman N1	4.3 inches	IPS	qHD resolution (960 x 540 pixels)

Quick glance, you can clearly say that the JiaYu G3 wins this category. I will definitely get the one with bigger screen size, even if its just a little difference of 0.2 inch. Both of them have IPS type of capacitive multi-touch screen. The G3 also have the better resolution, thus giving a better display quality compared to others.

Winner: JiaYu G3.

JiaYu G3 vs Newman N1: Camera

They both have the same camera, 8.0 megapixels as main snapper and 0.3 secondary. Both have Auto Focus and LED Flash.  There isnt much information about these, but it was posted that the N1 has support on recording of video at 1080p (1920 × 1080 pixels, 30 frames/sec) quality with audio, while there isnt anything mentioned with the G3.

Winner: partly Newman N1.

JiaYu G3 vs Newman N1: Battery

Phone model	battery
JiaYu G3	Li-ion battery 2750 mAh
Newman N1	Li-ion battery 1700 mAh

Having an edge of 1000mAh more battery rating capacity, the JiaYu G3 wins with its 2750mAh battery. Its definitely a better choice as you will have more usage time with it, rather than having the 1700mAh battery of the N1.

Winner: JiaYu G3.

JiaYu G3 vs Newman N1: Price

Phone model	price
JiaYu G3	$180
Newman N1	$149.99

With all the edge in specs by the JiaYu G3, here’s something that makes people consider the Newman N1; the price. The Newman N1 has an incredibly low price of just $149.99 which is a $30 difference compared to the JiaYu G3. So if you have a tight budget to consider, then this Newman N1 is never a bad choice.

Winner: Newman N1

JiaYu G3 vs Newman N1: Overall

Other stuff, its pretty much identical between these phones. They are both dual SIM with 3G, and each have the same other features you normally see on an Android phone.

So in summary, to help you decide (in which this post is aimed at) which phone to get, here’s the points to consider:

• Design preference – If you are into iPhone look and metallic style of handset to carry around; then get the JiaYu G3. But if you prefer the curvaceous and thin design of the Newman N1; then choose it. Plus, the N1 has more color variations to choose from.
• Budget – If you have a budget of $200 for your next phone, then the JiaYu G3 is definitely the best choice.

Both of these upcoming smartphones can be purchased at pre-order from Fastcardtech. If you are interested in buying one, I strongly suggest that you get it from Fastcardtech. They are my most trusted Chinese online seller for such kind of goods, I never had a problem with them, they ship for free worldwide, do their best to lower customs tax and best of all– they have the lowest pricing.
