The press invite reads,“Fantasy will soon become reality. Join us in the unveiling of the phone that will redefine flagships,” As enchanting as it may sound, but it does not reveal any info about the design of the upcoming device.

A few weeks ago, YU had confirmed that its forthcoming flagship will run Android OS with a substantial integration of Android YU. For all those who don’t know, Android YU is a service aggregation platform that was launched along with YU Yutopia, last year. Also, YU Yunicorn is expected to be sold via e-commerce channels only.

Yu had also explained its “Project Highway”, recently. The project is aimed at community developers to share their expertise with company’s source code. Speaking about the upcoming smartphone, Rahul Sharma, Micromax CEO, said, “It’s insanely beautiful and it will break some hearts. It will break records, it will break the conventional, it will break the rules…WAIT, it will break the flagships.”

Well, it it would be interesting to see if the device manages to live up to the hype. Stay tuned with us more info.
