Micromax’s Yu Yutopia, which was originally scheduled to launch on 7 December, will finally launch today at an event held in New Delhi. The company has been running an extensive teaser campaign for the device and in the process, has also taken a dig at companies such as Apple and OnePlus.

The Yu Yutopia is said to pack in high-end specifications and will be toued as the company’s flagship device. Let’s take a look at what we know so far about the upcoming Yu Yutopia.

In terms of specifications, the Yu Yutopia is expected to come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 SoC, 4GB RAM, 32GB storage and is rumoured to be ‘Made in India’. In addition, a Geekbench score for a device named YU5050 was being speculated to be the Yu Yutopia as well. On the camera front, the Yu Yutopia is expected to sport a 21MP sensor on the rear side and an 8MP sensor up front. We will have to wait and watch if these speculations are indeed true.

Back on 6 October, Yu Televentures head Rahul Sharma had sent out a tweet calling Yutopia as ‘the most powerful phone on the planet’. He even took to the forums to build up the hype around the upcoming launch.

Earlier, Yu Televentures had also released teasers saying, “RIP Plastic and Sandstone: True power lies in metal”, a clear dig a t OnePlus’ sandstone cover phones. A teaser from Yu has also shown what clearly looks like a OnePlus 2 handset with the familiar background and a message ‘Never Settle For 1080p’. It looks like the Yu Yutopia will most likely have a Quad HD display as well.
