Yu Launches a Yunique Smartphone at Rs.4,999

While we had been egged to believe that YU Televentures was going to reveal Yutopia, the company went ahead and revealed a “Yunique” product. Yu has just released its new offering called Yunique today, priced at Rs.4,999.

Let’s have a look at what Yunique is all about.

It runs on the latest Android 5.1 operating system with Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor with 1.2 GHz with GPU of Adreno A306. The new smartphone comes with a 4.7 inch IPS HD display, with 1280 X 720 pixels resolution (312ppi). All this is protected by Gorilla Glass 3.

The Yunique has a storage capacity of 8GB with 1GB RAM. On the camera front it comes with an 8MP primary camera with f/2.0 lens and a 2MP front camera. It is fuelled by a 2,000 mAh battery and can also capture full HD videos with 1080p resolution at 30 fps. Connectivity options include Wifi, Bluetooth 4.0 and a USB 2.0.  The smartphone is 4G-enabled.

With the LTE capability in hand, the smartphone seems like a decent deal at the price it is being offered. There are several other options which would also suffice – such as Phicomm Energy 653 and the Micromax’s very own Canvas Xpress 2.  However we’re still waiting to see if its build quality and looks help it stand apart.

Here are the specs:

The Yunique will be exclusively available on Snapdeal with registration closing on the 14th of September 2015 at 8pm. The flash sale for this product will begin at 12 noon on the 15th of September.
