In a market already dominated by low-cost smartphone brands, where Apple continues to foolishly pursue profits rather than sales volumes, you don’t see a retailer like Amazon slash prices on Android handhelds quite as often as stateside.But from today through Wednesday, August 10, India-based mobile consumers ...

While it’s certainly (the good kind of) hard to choose an ultra-high-end Android phone from an established brand nowadays, after Samsung, LG and HTC all outdid themselves, it’s arguably even trickier to shop for so-called “affordable flagships” in crowded markets like China or India.The latter just got more crazy-packed with sub-Rs. 15,000 powerhouses, as local startup Yu Televentures challenges ...

Well. It had to happen, didn’t it? There had to be a “unicorn phone”.Indian tech media outlets are getting invitations from Micromax sub-venture Yu to attend the launch event for the company’s new Yunicorn smartphone, a phone that. It will happen on May 19 in New Delhi.“Fantasy will soon become reality” is the main tagline in this missive.PhoneRadar relayed rumors that the phone would target the sub-Rs. 15,000 ($225) range and run on stock ...

Gimme a break, gimme a break, gimme a piece of that Android version that still has about a third of distribution. Cheesy joke, we know.But Micromax subsidiary Yu wants another break. After it sent us to Yutopia late last year, we’re being promised another phone that is poised to break flagships.Breaking apart a ...

As the main hardware-producing partner of customizable software supplier Cyanogen Inc., Yu Televentures rapidly rose to prominence in the low-cost Indian smartphone décor thanks to bang-for-bucktastic Yureka, Yuphoria, and Yunique models.But now it’s time Micromax’s online-focused sub-brand got truly serious about its local market perspectives, directly targeting all the Android powerhouses you can think of with an ultra-high-end Yutopia.

Fret not, Cyanogen OS aficionados, as your favorite Android fork still has a future on Yu phones, most notably the looming Yutopia. The rapidly rising Micromax-owned Indian brand has already confirmed its next-gen hero’s market name, pre-installed software version, and now, the premium build material soon to be used to stand out from the pack.The plastic and sandstone pack, that is, with Yu keen to mock rival OnePlus, and pompous advertising labels given to ...

We’ve heard a lot of bold, pompous claims from the developers of arguably the most popular community-driven Android fork after going commercial, but so far, Cyanogen Inc. hasn’t been able to put its money where its mouth is.Of course, actual funding isn’t really the problem here, or lack of talent, or ...
The post Yu no longer sells Cyanogen OS Yuphoria, but partnership is apparently still on appeared first on Pocketnow.
Seeing as how the first two Cyanogen OS-powered devices released under Micromax’s Yu sub-brand were christened Yureka and Yuphoria, it’s not surprising in the least to have the Yunique follow in their footsteps.The problem with this unconventional naming technique is of course the finite number of words starting with U or EU that make sense when associated to a smartphone. For the time being though, Yunique feels like a spot-on description of the super-affordable 4.7-inch Android available exclusively through ...

As the second most popular smartphone manufacturer in India (behind Samsung), and one of the ten largest vendors worldwide, you could say Micromax has a responsibility, nay, obligation to roll out more than just respectable, affordable gear.Enter the Yu5050, the newest result of Micromax and Cyanogen’s collaboration, expected out as early as this week with decidedly high-end specifications. And a relatively economical price point, if we are to take the handheld’s declared value at import for granted.According to ...
