Yu Yureka Sold Out In 3 Seconds

It was just last month – or last year, if you would like to be more dramatic, that Micromax did introduce the Yu Yureka, which so happens to be the very first smartphone made in India that will be based upon the CyanogenMod operating system. We have received word that the smartphone itself was released prim and proper this week – taking all of just 3 seconds to go out of stock. Of course, one ought to take into consideration at such dramatization of an announcement by looking into the context of the situation.

Only 10,000 units were made available, and we are talking about India – with a growing middle class that is able to afford nicer things, the proliferation of Internet connectivity, and most importantly, they happen to be the country with the second largest population in the world – which means 10,000 units getting snapped up in 3 seconds is not that big of a deal.

Still, to hear about such instant success is impressive all the same. The Yureka would costs $145 after conversion, where it sports an octa-core Snapdragon 615 processor, a 5.5” 720p display, a 5MP selfie camera, a 13MP camera at the back, 2GB RAM, LTE connectivity, and 16GB of internal memory.
