Micromax’s subsidiary Yu has been quiet for almost six months since its last smartphone, the Yu Yureka was launched. In the meantime, there were also rumours that the brand was going to shut shop, but this obviously isn’t true going by the current launch of its new device. The firm has now launched a new smartphone, dubbed the Yu Yureka Black which succeeds the Yu Yureka that was launched back in 2015. The new device comes with some revamped specifications that allow it to compete with other mid-range smartphones in the country.
