The Micromax Yu5050 smartphones were shipped from China, and had a declared value of Rs. 20,295 to Rs. 20,752. To be noted is that import/ export website price listings are only declared values, and usually are not accurate reflections of actual market price.
Micromax's Yu brand started sending invites last week for the launch of its next smartphone (or smartphones) on Tuesday. The media invite included a tagline that read, "When future meets past. The next wonder will be unveiled" and was accompanied by an image of a handset. The company even started teasing the upcoming devices via social platforms.
