India based Micromax subsidiary has announced its first couple of power banks under the Yu Jyuice series in 5000mAh and 10000mAh versions.
Yu recently was in the news for the announcement of its newest phone, the budget Yu Yunique. Budget power banks from Xiaomi currently rule the roost, which is something Yu will like to see changed after this announcement.
