Cyanogen-powered Micromax YU Smartphone to Launch on December 18 in India

Micromax last month announced its new YU brand in partnership with Cyanogen and the first handset under the brand was expected to be announced this month.

Now, Micromax has sent out invites for an event scheduled on December 18th, where it will unveil the first Cyanogen-based smartphone under its new YU brand.

The invite does not reveal much about the device and details about the specification of the device is still unknown.  According to Micromax co-founder Rahul Sharma “the phone is going to be a monster… really cool specs”. 

According to sources, the Yu smartphone will be among the first devices in India to be powered by Qualcomm’s new octa-core SoCs. This could mean either the Snapdragon 615 or Snapdragon 410chipsets, which are both 64-bit octa-core processors. The handset will be 4G enabled.

Micromax is also expected to announce an online sales partner for YU devices on December 18^th.
