Micromax to launch Yu's successor 'Project Caesar' with Android Lollipop in April

UPDATE: A report by Times Of India says that Micromax’s successor to the Yu aka ‘Project Ceasar’ running Android Lollipop will be launched in second half of April. Micromax’s online venture Yu has confirmed once again that its upcoming Yureka handset will come with the Android Lollipop update. The successor to the Yureka smartphone has been codenamed ‘Project Caesar’. And in it’s latest promo ad for the device, the company has taken a dig at Xiaomi. A post on its official Facebook account reads, “KitKat in the age of Lollipop? Give Me a break!” But significantly, the ‘Me’ looks like Xiaomi’s ‘Mi’ logo. The company seems to be mocking Xiaomi’s Mi devices for running rather older Android KitKat. The recently launched  launched **Redmi 2 and MiPad**  both run the MIUI 6 Operating System, which is based on Android 4.4 KitKat. It was soon followed by another tease that said, “Lollipop comes pre-loaded with Project Caesar! Why would YU buy anything else?”  In an  interview with BGR India, Rahul Sharma, the co-founder of Yu Televentures, had said YU will be launching ‘Project Caeser’ with Cyanogen OS 12 which is based on Android Lollipop. The Yu Yureka smartphone runs Android 4.4.4 KitKat OS with the CyanogenMod CM11S ROM atop it. It is a 5.5-inch phone with Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 SoC. Being the first phone from the Yu brand, the Yureka comes with impressive specs. It’s powered by the 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 system on chip which houses an octa-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz and the Adreno 405 GPU clocked at 550MHz. It comes paired with 2GB of DDR3 RAM and offers 16GB of storage of which 12.8GB is available to the user. You can expand the storage via the microSD card slot by 32GB.
