I've decided to share this review cos of people who might be interested in the phone. Its a new product, and I just got one from Elijahdre (https://www.nairaland.com/1847548/cheapest-prices-phones-tablets-powerbank). Trust me, you'll get a good deal from him.

First, the specs on paper

Unboxing
It comes with a USB cable, charger, silicon case and a 3000mAh battery, which is moderately okay by me.

Note: initial pictures taken by Cube Talk 9X tablet.
Subsequent ones are screenshots.

Display and camera quality
It has a crisp display, in a 5.0 inch body. The rear camera is 8MP while the front-facing one is 5MP, suitable for selfies.

Usage
I was surprised to discover that the phone comes pre-rooted from the factory, hence no headache over rooting challenges.

Its a low-budget phone, so I expected minimal performance and functionality. So far, it has been quite impressive.

With a 2GB RAM, the speed of operation is relatively fast. No hanging whatsoever.

Antutu benchmark test
Like I pointed out, its a low budget phone (in my opinion), so no disappointments in the test results.

PIC 2: Storage

This score is not correct... Test again using a strong network connection

Not much difference afterwards.

Others
Some features I love about this device are:
1. Being a quadcore processor powered device, having a MT6582 SoC, it supports 4G networks which is apparently not available where I stay.

2. It has LED notification light.
Green - when you're charging and it gets to 90% and above. Also when there's a missed call, SMS or email it keeps blinking.

Red - Comes on when you're charging normally. Also blinks when there's a notification.

3. There is a notification drawer towards the soft buttons panel. Sliding from top to bottom in a normal android device shows the dropdown notifications, doing the opposite on this device shows a compact version of the notification drawer.

Great one there

The weight is another bonus. Its so light compared to other 5-inchers.

The quality of the camera is relatively okay in well-lit environments, but not the best in darkness.

...
The IMEI tweaking was straightforward. I'm rocking Glo bis..

Remember to regulate the volume when in public, cos the speakers are great! Very loud with good bass enhancement.

I'll be updating as time goes on, I'm yet to fully unravel the full features. I can only recommend one seller: Elijahdre (https://www.nairaland.com/1847548/cheapest-prices-phones-tablets-powerbank).

So if you're looking at grabbing a not-too-expensive phone, whilst still enjoying some advanced benefits on it, Jiayu F2 is a good buy.

Nice phone... other than the drawback that it's not a dual sim phone, I guess its quite catchy! So what's the price?

Price?

It's actually a dual sim

Xymc1 , its a dual sim phone. And 4G/3G/2G networks are supported on both sims.

30k as at when it was bought.

Kul phone!!

It's really a great phone. Although it's become a surplus me now and I intend to sell mine(about a month old) for 29k. Interested individuals should contact 08103986669: call or whatsapp

What about screen durability after a fall?

Battery is relatively okay.. Nothing exceptional. It has not had a very serious fall, so the screen is as durable as it can be.

Overall, I'm glad I got it. Pre-rooted, very powerful front and rear cameras, great speakers, fast operating speed and a lot of other inbuilt functionalities.

Pictures, price and what's the fault?

22k, no faults whatsoever. There's a new tempered glass unused to replace the one presently on it which is slightly cracked

That's the meaning of recommended on that 4G? And why are you not using the 4G?

mjames:
