Cyanogen-based Yureka to go on sale for Rs 8,999 on Jan 13

Micromax is putting its latest smartphone, the Yureka, on sale on Jan 13 at 2pm for Rs 8,999. Yu Televenture, a subsidiary of Micromax, is releasing 10,000 units for the sale on Amazon; a paltry number in in relation to the more than 3 lakh registrations for the sale. 

The Yureka is the company's budget smartphone, in line with Xiaomi's products, and runs the unique Cyanogen OS. The difference here, however, is that sales for the YU are limited to one piece per user, and will have a "waitlist" feauture, much like booking train tickets. When a user adds the phone to cart, they have 15 minutes to complete checkout, failing which the sale will be offered to the next person on the waitlist. 

Here's how you can get your piece:
Log on to amazon.in with your username before 2pm and save your payment details for a faster checkout. 

As soon as you see the "Buy" button, click and proceed to checkout within 15 minutes. 

If the phone is out of stock, join the wailist button, in the hopes that some unlucky user will miss their window to complete the process and the sale comes to you. If that happens, you will receive a notification and you'll have three minutes to add the phone to cart and 15 minutes after that to complete checkout.
