First Batch of Yureka Phones lasted just 3 seconds

Image
Yu Yureka went on sale today, and as expected stocks ran out in just 3 seconds. When you pitch 3,00,000 registrations against a measely stock of 10,000 units, 3 seconds is conceivable. Even if YU would have added 5 times the stock, the result wouldn’t have been much different. Xiaomi on other hand has been selling around 50,000 Redmi Note every week and the third flash sale today lasted for almost 3 Minutes. YU recently admitted that they failed to estimate public response and will be ramping up production for future flash sales. Needless to say, this has left several fans frustrated, who have been waiting for more than a month and have now resorted to online forums and social media channels to vent out their frustrations. Even if Micromax ramps up the stock, it will take several weeks before the demand dials down. YU Yureka is an extreme value for money 4G smartphone with 5.5 inch HD display, powered by 1.5 GHz Snapdragon 615 octa core chipset with 2 GB DDR3 RAM and 16 GB expa...

Yu to put up only 10,000 Yureka units for 3 lakh registrations

Image
The recently announced Yu Yureka smartphone is about to go on sale tomorrow. The company will reportedly put up 10,000 units of the  Yu Yureka   up for sale in its first flash sale, to be held on Amazon. This seems rather small, considering that Yu has received three lakh registrations for its first smartphone. The flash sale model had been started in India by Xiaomi and the company had taken a lot of flak over the low number of units. On the other hand, Yu’s flash sale model is slightly different from  Xiaomi’s . According to Amazon’s email sent to registered users, while the devices are limited to one per user and the total quantity will go down as soon as a  Yureka  unit is added to a person’s card, there will also be a wait list. If the smartphone is not available when you click on ‘Add to cart’, you can join the waiting list. Users who have added the  Yureka  to their cart will have 15 minutes to buy the d...

Micromax Yu Yureka Review : Yu did it !

Image
 Overview Seldom has a phone arrived in the Indian market with so much controversy. When Micromax announced its exclusive tie-up with Cyanogen (a company known for making a highly customized version of Android) and the launch of a new brand, YU, to represent it, the market had been buzzing in anticipation about what the devices under the new brand would be like. Then towards the end of the year, the Yureka was unveiled, complete with CyanogenMod, decent specs, and a surprisingly low price of Rs 8,999 (about USD 150). It goes on sale, exclusively online on Amazon India, from January 13. The big question of course, is: is it worth investing in? Look and feel I had covered the appearance of the Yureka in my first impressions of the device, but to summarise once again, it is a phone that looks smart rather than spectacular. It is definitely not a head turner but is not an eyesore by any means either. I tainly cannot see people turning their noses up at it. It is sli...
