The two new smartphones from Micromax YU, yet to be launched, seem to have already been leaked online.
Micromax's YU is reportedly working on two new smartphones, but it seems like they've been leaked online already. Benchmark listings on Geekbench suggest two phones, dubbed the Yu5050 and the Yu4711 are making an entrance today.
The Yu5050 benchmark paints a picture of a high-end device, unlike the usual mid-range offerings from YU. It packs a 1.5Ghz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 (MSM8994) processor doing the heavy lifting, with 4GB RAM on the side. An Indian import/export website also states a few of the handsets have been shipped to India, and they detail a 5.2-inch qHD (2560x1440) display, 21MP rear camera, 8MP selfie cam, and 32GB internal storage. The Yu5050 also seems to have dual SIM slots, as well as micro SD card support, and running Cyanogen OS based on Android 5.1. According to listing, the phone is priced at about Rs 20,500, but we can expect that to change as well. Again, while this kind of pricing is new for YU, it's not a completely surprising move. Take into account that the budget phone specialist Xiaomi also came out with a flagship phone, the Mi4, which they priced over 15K, and this is Yu's first true flagship phone as well.
The next phone, the Yu4711, seems more in line with their standard offerings, with the benchmark revealing a 1.2Ghz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 (MSM8916) with 1GB RAM.This is also expected to run on an Android 5.1 version of Cyanogen OS. We can likely expect this offering to remain in the under Rs 12,000 range.
The Indian import/ export site, Zauba, lists the Yu5050 featuring dual-SIM support; a 5.2-inch display, and microSD card support. The Micromax Yu5050 smartphones were shipped from China, and had a declared value of Rs. 20,295 to Rs. 20,752. To be noted is that import/ export website price listings are only declared values, and usually are not accurate reflections of actual market price.
The Micromax Yu4711, on the other hand, is seen featuring a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 (MSM8916) processor clocked at 1.2GHz coupled with 1GB of RAM. Much like Yu5050, the Yu4711 is also likely to run Android 5.1.1 Lollipop-based CyanogenOS. The Geekbench listing for the Yu4711 shows a single-core score of 263 and multi-core score of 743. Both the Geekbench listing of the unannounced Yu handsets were first reported by Tech Gadgetsz.
Micromax's Yu brand started sending invites last week for the launch of its next smartphone (or smartphones) on Tuesday. The media invite included a tagline that read, "When future meets past. The next wonder will be unveiled" and was accompanied by an image of a handset. The company even started teasing the upcoming devices via social platforms.
We will have to wait till Yu's event on Tuesday event to see what the company has in store next for consumers.
