Sensationalism is here to stay, and it is something that’s turning out to be cheaper than traditional marketing for most phone brands, many of which are micro-brands.
Yu is a Micromax subsidiary which has been talking about the Yu Yutopia lately, hailing it as the ‘most powerful phone on the planet’. We, however, will reserve our judgements for later.
A teaser sent out today, from Yu, confirms that the Yutopia will have an all-metal design. But what’s a teaser without a dig at a competitor’s product? The Yu teaser came complete with that — it said ‘R.I.P. Plastic and Sandstone’. Sandstone, if you aren’t aware, is a finish made popular by OnePlus with the One and later, the OnePlus 2.
Gizchina News of the week
There have been no official announcements from Yu about the specs of the phone. However, preliminary leaks and benchmark listings have told us that the Yutopia will have a Snapdragon 810 SoC, 4GB of RAM and a 5.2-inch 1080p display, which in essence will make it a OnePlus 2 competitor.
As for the rest of the specs of the OnePlus 2, there’s expected to be a 21 mega-pixel camera on the rear, an 8 mega-pixel one on the front with the phone running Cyanogen OS 12.1 based on Android 5.1 Lollipop.
If Yu manage to price the Yutopia under the $350 (or under 23,000 INR) mark, it’ll make things interesting.
too expensive …
this coming from a Pakistani
If same specced as 1+ 2, then cyanogen is the difference. Plus it won’t have an invite system.
“Most Powerful” aka “same specs as most other flagships”.
++1?
For a couple of months.
REAL BEAST = ???
A. Better than SD810 hand warmer
B. Better than 4Gb ram as LeTv plans or ddr4
C. Great battery (zuk z1 area)
D. Camera not suck at 21mpx and 8mpx
E. Up-to-date graphics card
F. Full proper OS smooth integration
Because if someone looks for a REAL BEAST phone is either for gaming or bragging rights so back me up on this one.
Then again we are yet to know which planet are they referring to ??????
Biggest bullshit on the planet maybe
Even if their claims were true. The phone is too small.
5.2″ is perfect size. The specs look pretty darn good. will see if they deliver on price and battery life
The X-men wolverine scratch suggests that Hugh Jackman will be used to promote this #BEAST
I’m worried Yu might go down the OnePlus route where they talk too much smack and then underdeliver.
“Most powerful phone on planet”….
MY FOOT!!!
These morons are there to fool indian people by such pathetic claims!!!
Xiaomi will wipe this micromax from India.
