For a couple of weeks there have been rumours about Micromax owned YU
televentures working on a phone called Yutopia. The phone has been said
to be a flagship device in the mould of the OnePlus Two. Today, YU
co-founder Rahul Sharma officially announced the phone in a blog post on
the YU forums.
"Has it happened to you ever that you have been
transformed from your real life into this dream where everything is
perfect. The impractical, idealistic world where nothing is impossible.
Well, it's happening here and the state of Yutopia is no more a dream,"
wrote Sharma in a blog post
He is also making some lofty
claims with the device. He claims that the phone will be the fastest
smartphone in the world. "We have been working very hard to come up with
the most powerful phone on this planet, yes you heard it right the most
powerful phone ever, and boy, do we hit our target this time the answer
is yes. The most powerful phone on this planet will be from YU for you
and from India, making the YU clan the most powerful in the world,"
claims Sharma.
In light of what we know about the new iPhone 6S
and what kind of processor technology Apple uses, it is hard to believe
what Sharma is claiming. If the rumour mill is to be believed, then the
Yutopia will have a 5.2-inch Full-HD display and it will be coupled with
the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 CPU and 4GB RAM.
Now, these are
specifications similar to what's present in the OnePlus Two, but this
doesn't necessarily mean that it will be the most powerful phone. The
Snapdragon 810 is known to be CPU which heats up a lot and many Android
smartphone vendors have ditched it in favour of the lighter Snapdragon
808 hexa-core processor.
While true, Sharma claims that the phone
is still a work in process, so the final hardware stack may not even be
finalised. In that case, if YU is able to pull a coup and get the new
Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, which comes with the custom Kryo
cores, YU may be able to come through on its promise of the world's
fastest smartphone.
That, however, seems far fetched.
