Micromax's Yu Televentures subsidiary seems to be gearing up to launch Yureka S. The new Yu smartphone is now listed on the company site with pricing details. We can expect the handsets to soon go on sale in India.
While the Yu Yureka S is priced at Rs. 12,999 and it will be available in black color.
One of the key differences is in the size, and unlike the Yureka that came with a 5.5-inch display, the Yureka S is more compact with a 5.2-inch display. Since the launch of the Yureka in 2014, YU has launched the Yureka Note and Yureka Plus as well which too came with 5.5-inch displays. While the Yureka and Yureka S share a similar name, they are completely different on the design front. The new Yureka S looks more like a love child of the Yuphoria and the Yutopia.
YU Yureka S specifications and features
The Yureka S flaunts a 5.2-inch full HD (1920×1080 pixels) display with 423ppi and Corning’s Gorilla Glass 3 protection. Under the hood is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 615 64-bit octa-core processor paired with Adreno 405 GPU and 3GB of RAM. It comes with 16GB of internal storage, which can be expanded using a microSD card. On the photography front, the Yureka S is equipped with a 13-megapixel snapper with OV13850 PureCel Camera Chip, f/2.2 aperture and support for HDR. Up front is a 5-megapixel selfie snapper with f/2.2 aperture and 84 degrees wide-angle lens.
The smartphone also features a 3,000mAh battery that YU claims is good enough to survive up to nine hours of talktime and up to 450 hours on standby mode. The battery also supports QuickCharge 1.0. The Yureka S also supports connectivity options like dual-SIM card slots (hybrid setup), 4G support, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.
On the software front, the smartphone runs on Android Lollipop 5.1.1 wrapped under the Around YU UI. The UI includes a platform that sources content from multiple apps and services and offers it to users at one place. For example, Around YU offers contextual information for categories like food, shopping and travel from Zomato, Scandid, and Ixigo respectively.
