Micromax YU launches Yuphoria

Micromax's sub-brand YU has launched its second Cyanogen OS-powered Smartphone, Yuphoria at Rs 6,999. Featuring a metal frame, the phone will be available in buffed steel and champagne gold colors with pre-bookings on Amazon.in.

The phone measures 154.8x78x8.8 mm and features a 5-inch HD (720x1280p) fully-laminated IPS display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

Powered by a 64 bit 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 quad-core chip, Adreno 306 GPU and 2GB DDR3 RAM, the phone has 16GB internal storage expandable up to 128GB via microSD card.

It runs Cyanogen OS 12, a custom aftermarket version of Android 5.0 Lollipop developed by Cyanogen. Cyanogen is known for its customisability, enhanced performance and additional features. The look and feel is very close to stock Android barring a few UI elements, although customization is possible via themes.

YU Yuphoria features a 8MP rear camera (f2.2 aperture, capable of 1080p video capture) with LED flash and a 5MP front camera (f2.0) with 86 degree wide angle lens.

In terms of connectivity, the dual-SIM Smartphone supports 3G, 4G (CAT 4, including TDD-LTE, Indian 4G bands), Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS. It comes with a 2230mAh high-density quick charge battery which the company claims delivers 160 hours of standby time.

The phone comes with a Cirrus Logic Wolfson Stereo DCA audio chip for enhanced sound.
