Micromax's online-only brand Yu recently unveiled the Yureka Plus for Rs 9,999 to take on the Lenovo K3 Note and has now dropped the price of the smartphone to Rs 8,999. With the reduced pricing coming into effect, the device comes across a better value for money package. Sensing the fact that it is a recently launched device and the current owners may voice their dissatisfaction , Yu has stated that the ones who already own the device will be getting a Rs 1,000 gift voucher from Amazon.
The Yureka Plus is an upgraded version of the Yureka and gets a better display, camera module and is tougher than its predecessor. There's no information about Yureka's future but we believe that the device probably won't come back on sale. Even if it does, expect it to retail in the Rs 7,000-8,000 price bracket. Let us quickly take a look at its specifications:
