Jiayu s2: technical characteristics, availability and price

This time we are going to talk about the Chinese terminal that is presumed to be the new flagship of the Jiayu company, its S2 model. We could say that the most remarkable thing about this device will be its processor, the first for mobile phones that has eight real cores. Throughout the article we will also break down each of its other characteristics or more briefly so that you do not lose detail. We start:

Screen: It has a size of 5 inches and a Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The Jiayu S2 also has IPS technology that gives its screen a wide viewing angle and very defined colors. We assume that it will have Gorilla Glass protection, glass manufactured by the Corning company, as is usual among high-end smartphones of the brand.

Processor: The Jiayu S2 will feature an Octa-core Mediatek SoC , the eight-core MTK6592 with a frequency that can range from 1.7 to 2 GHz and a Mali 450MP graphics chip. It will come with 2 GB of RAM. The Android operating system version 4.3. Jelly Bean.

Camera: As has been common in recent times, this smartphone has two lenses, one main and one front, of 13 and 8 megapixels respectively.

Connectivity: in addition to the most basic connections that terminals present today, such as 3G, WiFi or Bluetooth, the Chinese model will also offer 4G / LTE support. It also highlights its OTG connection, USB 2.0 extension that allows our terminal to become a host, or in other words, we can connect any device via USB to our smartphone, accessing our pendrive, hard drive, master , manage a mouse or keyboard, etc.

Internal memory: The Jiayu S2 will have a 32 GB ROM, expandable via microSD card up to 64 GB.

The battery of the Chinese device will have a capacity of 2000 mAh, adjusted in my opinion if we take into account the power with which the terminal will have to operate smoothly.

Design: The S2 is 139mm tall x 67mm wide x 6mm thick, making it one of the slimmest smartphones on the market. Its slim body is made of aluminum with a unibody design that gives it a robust and compact appearance.

Availability and price: today we do not have a date or official starting price for the model in question, although knowing the “calm” that Jiayu's take in putting their smartphones up for sale, I imagine that it will not reach the market until well into 2014.
