Cyanogen-powered YU phone will launch 18th December


Micromax-YU-invite

India’s Micromax will launch their new YU smartphone on the 18th December running Cyanogen ROM.

OnePlus will be reading today’s news with a lot of anger. The phone which Cyanogen abounded the OnePlus One for in China is set to launch on the 18th November! The YU smartphone, a sub brand of Micromax, will first launch in India and then in selected markets around the world thereafter.

Gizchina News of the week


Micromax’s current range of phones are Chinese made, Mediatek powered devices, with Cyanogen on board and the promise of “a monster” with “really cool specs” we are hoping to see a Qualcomm powered beast from the Indian phone maker.

The YU brand will follow the online only sales and marketing method which OnePlus, Xiaomi and others have found so popular.

    I don’t know why, but I’m not very excited about it. My expectations are really low, and I just can’t tell why. I’ll just wait until it’s launched, I guess.

    Micromax wants to celebrate 18.12.2014 On the One Plus One Coffin in India, But think Cyanogen explanation about OPO. Cyanogen defiantly ditch Micromax in other country release like OPO.

    Such a disappointing situation Cyanogen have got themselves into now… It’s as if they belong to Micromax now because if any other manufacturer wanted to work directly with Cyanogen they’d probably be put off as there’s no hope of launching their products in India with a CM based rom then… Stupid stupid Cyanogen!!!
