15,000 Units of Micromax's Yu Yureka Available in Thursday's Second Flash Sale
15,000 units of Micromax's Yu Yureka smartphone will be made available on Thursday via the second flash sale that kicks off at 2pm IST on Amazon India.
Update: Yu has announced that the 15,000 units were grabbed up in 4 seconds on Thursday. The company added that going forward, the Yu Yureka will go on sale every Thursday at 2pm, registrations for which will begin a week prior on the same day at 5pm.
10,000 units of Micromax's Yu Yureka (Review | Images) Cyanogen OS-smartphone were made available for the company's first flash sale last week, a sale that saw much controversy with site glitches including incorrect price listings and allegations the company actually made only 3,000 units available for sale. The company announced that 10,000 units had gone out of stock in 3 seconds.
The domestic smartphone brand closed registrations for Thursday's flash sale at 2pm IST on Tuesday (registrations had opened on Friday), so if you haven't registered yet, you will have to wait for the next sale to purchase Micromax's Yu Yureka smartphone. However, if you had registered for the first flash sale, you will be automatically pre-registered.
Priced at Rs. 8,999, Micromax's Yu Yureka offers some rather impressive specifications at the price. The dual-SIM smartphone features Cat. 4 4G LTE connectivity, and runs Cyanogen OS 11 based on Android 4.4.4 KitKat. It bears a 5.5-inch HD (720x1280 pixels) IPS display with Gorilla Glass 3; a 64-bit 1.5GHz octa-core Snapdragon 615 SoC (MSM8939); an Adreno 405 GPU; 2GB of RAM; a 13-megapixel Sony Exmor CMOS sensor rear camera with an f/2.2 aperture and flash; a front-facing 5-megapixel fixed-focus camera; 16GB of inbuilt storage expandable via microSD card (up to 32GB), and a 2500mAh Li-Po battery.
