This year 2015 could be the battle of budget smartphones with high end features. After seeing the xiomi, gionee mobile brands reaching heights the micromax decided to launch its new smartphone to keep their status up in the market. Micromax has launched the first Cyanogen-based smartphone under its new ‘YU’ brand. Last month, Micromax had announced the launch of their new sub-brand for Cyanogen-based handsets.

 

The cynogen OS allows user to delete any app even the preinstalled app comes with the mobile, it has better RAM management, security updates, quick setting configuration options,etc. Cynogen OS is an open source OS based on google android.

Micromax yureka features:

•             The micromax Yureka comes with Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 Cortex A-53 64 bit clocked at 1.5GHz Octacore processor and Adreno 405 GPU. It must be noted that the 64-bit architecture is not supported by Android 4.4, but Micromax and Cyanogen  have promised that the phone will be soon provided with the Android Lollipop update. Phones still need more memory to fully functioning 64-bit capabilities and 2GB would not really suffice.

This smartphone has 4G LTE connectivity with support for both LTE TDD 2300MHz and LTE FDD 1800MHz bands covering most present networks and upcoming Indian 4G networks, means the mobile can support both 3G and 4G network. It also has Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS connectivity options.

 

•             5.5 inch HD IPS,267ppi Display With 80 dgree viewing angle and has Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection to make the device scratch proof and break resistant to some limit. HD display on 5.5 inch may not give the right feel.
