Micromax subsidiary YU Televentures has postponed the unveiling of its upcoming Yunicorn flagship smartphone. The device, which was earlier scheduled to be made official on May 19 (today), will now be announced on May 31.
Apparently, the reason behind the delay is lack of media coverage - May 19 has been chosen as "vote counting day" by the Election Commission of India (several states in the country went for elections recently), so obviously the media will be focusing there.
Coming back to Yunicorn, YU is marketing it as "the phone that will redefine flagships." Not much is known about the device's specs at the moment, but if it's the YU5530 that was recently spotted on GeekBench, then expect it to be powered by a MediaTek Helio X10 SoC, and come with 4GB of RAM.
The YU YUNICORN will feature a 5.2-inch / 5.5-inch (2560 x 1440 pixels) Quad HD OGS IPS display. It will powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 64-bit processor along with Adreno 530 GPU. It will come with 4 GB / 6 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage, which can be expanded via microSD card. It will run on Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS out of the box. It will have a full metal body with a fingerprint sensor at the back.
It will rock a 21 megapixel rear camera with LED flash. On the front, there will be a 8 megapixel front-facing camera with for selfies and video calling. It will support Dual SIM, come with a 3.5 mm audio jack and FM Radio.
On the connectivity front, it will have 4G LTE, 3G, WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (dual band), Bluetooth 4.1 and GPS. It will pack in a 3,000 mAh (or more) battery under the hood with fast charging capability.
These specifications may not be 100% accurate but we will get to see something similar on May 31. More information on this in the coming days, hence stay tuned.
