There is no denying that Micromax is growing rapidly. However, in recent months, Xiaomi is stealing all the limelight. Before it becomes a problem, Micromax is planning to beat Xiaomi at its own game by providing specs-heavy phone at an affordable price. To do that Micromax has not only launched a phone, but has introduced a brand. Dubbed as Yu Yureka, this phone runs CyanogenMod flavour of Android.
The device is priced aggressively at Rs. 8,999, which is intended to kill the sale of devices like the Xiaomi Redmi 1S, Xiaomi Redmi Note etc. Yureka’s registrations commenced at 2pm, 19 December 2014 on Amazon.in and the sales are expected to start from January. For those who were unable to register for the first sale of the device which only lasted for an hour, will be allowed to do so on January 13, 2014. Yureka does not only come with great specifications and good looks, but is topped with Cyanogen OS 11, which allows users to customize their phone endlessly.It contains a 64-Bit processor. According to Micromax, it is 200 times more capable in storing capacity than 32 -Bit. That is, it uses the RAM more efficiently.Also, it is a future proof device as it is LTE Supported. (4G)
NOW, WHAT IS CYANOGEN MOD?
CyanogenMod is an enhanced open source firmware distribution for smartphones and tablet computers based on the Android mobile operating system. It offers features and options not found in the official firmware distributed by vendors of these devices.
