YU Yutopia is real flagship killer launched towards the end of the year and the date marks for one year milestone for YU. So far YU has been very successfully with its all 4 devices (Yureka, Yureka Plus, Yuphoria and Yunique). YU has been the talk of the town in the geeky world since the launch of its first device thanks to its partner in crime Cyanogen, the most sought after Operating system based on Android. However so far the manufacturer seems to be competing against likes of Xiaomi, Asus etc. but with launch of Yutopia it has stepped up its presence in territory of likes of OnePlus, HTC, Samsung, Motorola.
