Micromax's Yureka is indeed a flagship killer in budget. It's exclusively available on Amazon and the device goes on sale on January 8 but the company is following a flash sale, where consumers will have to register for the devices and then take part in sale.

 The Micromax's Yureka is loaded with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 64 bit octa-core processor, 5.5 inch HD (1280*720) IPS display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3. It has a 13MP rear camera, 5 MP front camera and 16 GB of internal storage ( 12.5GB usable) with 32GB expandable and preloaded Cyanogen OS 11. The Cyanogen is just a cherry on top.






As the device comes preloaded with Cyanogen it would mean that, like the OnePlus One, the Yureka can be rooted without voiding the warranty and just to make it sweeter, Micromax is offering doorstep service options for repair and replacement.






The launch of this device has severely affected the company OnePlus. As requested by local manufacturer Micromax, a New Delhi court banned OnePlus from selling its handset anywhere in the country. The reasoning behind this ban is the Micromax’s exclusive deal with Cyanogen, which stipulates that no other company, including OnePlus, can sell Cyanogen-powered handsets in India.
But OnePlus has promised to continue the support to current Indian users regardless of the problems faced.

The Device is indeed a best buy in budget currently and Micromax has gained some reputation from few years back. So it's definitely a device to have eyes on and hope it live up-to its promises.
