The Yu company recently released a teaser image of the soon-to-launch Yu Yutopia. The teaser image suggested that the Yu Yutopia will have an all-metal body build compared to "plastic and sandstone" OnePlus devices.
TechnoBuffalo reported that a teaser photo of the Yu Yutopia made rounds online. The image showed the device with a caption saying: "R.I.P. Plastic & Sandstone: True Power Lies in Metal" followed by #Yutopia. Yu Yutopia will reportedly have a sleek, all-metal design - becoming the first all-metal Yu smartphone ever.
The "plastic & sandstone" reference in the teaser could be directed to OnePlus, the Yu devices' close competitor. The OnePlus 2 is considered a direct rival of Yu Yutopia since they have similar specs and features.
Another teaser photo of the Yu Yutopia had a caption that said, "The Real Beast is Coming." According to an earlier report by Venture Capital Post, the Yu Yutopia will be the most powerful smartphone on the planet." Yu CEO Rahul Sharma said so himself, saying, "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! Final work in progress, I am really excited and can't wait to share it with you all. Stay tuned."
Yu Yutopia is said to house the powerful Snapdragon 810 processor, 4GB RAM, and 32GB ROM. It will also feature a 13MP rear camera and an 8MP selfie shooter. It is expected to launch with Cyanogen OS on board.
Android Headlines reported that the Yu Yutopia will be the first Yu phone categorized as premium or high-end. The first four smartphones released by the company such as the Yureka, Yuphoria, Yureka Plus, and Yunique, were all low to mid-range phones.
The report added that registrations for the Yu Yutopia have already started. But the registrations were reportedly not for purchasing the device but for informing prospective consumers of more details about the Yutopia's release.
There are also speculations that the Yu Yutopia will be available in a first-time Yu open sale. This rumor was based on the note written on Yu's official website: "This phone will not be available to the users through flash sales".
