The last smartphone that was launched by Micromax’s subsidiary YU was Yunicorn. It was launched with a price tag of ₹12,999, and now, a similarly priced smartphone named Yureka S has been listed on YU’s website.
The YU Yureka S that has been listed online is powered by Snapdragon 615 SoC which is paired with 3 GB RAM and Adreno 405 GPU. The device sports a 5.2-inch Full-HD display which is kept on by a 3000 mAh battery.
The Yureka S surprisingly runs on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop even when we are moving closer to the public release of Android 7.0 Nougat. We would have liked to see Yureka S run Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box. However, we hope YU will do customers a favor and roll out Marshmallow later on.
YU Yureka S specifications:
- CPU: 1.7 GHz Snapdragon 615 octa-core processor
- RAM: 3 GB
- GPU: Adreno 405
- Operating System: Android 5.1.1 Lollipop
- Display: 5.2-inch Full-HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) display with Gorilla Glass 3
- Rear Camera: 13 MP with LED flash and OV13850 PureCel® Camera Chip™
- Front Camera: 5 MP with wide-angle lens
- Internal Storage: 16 GB
- External Storage: Expandable via microSD card

Now that the Yureka S is listed online, we expect YU to launch it soon.
