WHY YOU SHOULD BUY YU YUNICORN

YU had a great 2015. The company entered the market with Yureka, a phone that in many ways redefined the sub-Rs 10,000 market and then launched devices like the Yunique and the Yuphoria. These two didn't garner the glory that Yureka got but they made a statement that Yu was here to stay.

This time with the Yunicorn, the company has decided to dial it down a bit and focus on a few key areas such as software and services. The smartphone launches in the crowded, cutthroat sub-Rs. 15,000 segment, which is not an easy space to compete in by any measure.
