As per a recent Zauba import listing around 10,000 units of a mysterious YU smartphone with model number YU6000 has hit Indian shores a few weeks back. The units originating from China and Hong Kong respectively signify that the YU smartphone in question is surely not 'Made in India' Apparently an alleged YU smartphone with an exact same model number was spotted in GFXBench last year. In fact, the YU YU6000 smartphone was expected to launch alongside the YU Yutopia.

Yureka or Yuphoria?

The GFXBench and the Zauba listing is apparently contradicting each other when it comes to the specs of the display. While the GFXBench reveals the YU YU6000 to sport a 4.6 inch Full HD panel, the disclosures made by Zauba indicate a 6-inch panel. This dispute is further depended by the use of the word 'Yuphoria' behind the YU YU6000 model number in the GFXBench listing.

Apparently the 'Yuphoria' branding is used specifically for their budget 5 inch smartphones whereas the company refers to their budget phablets as 'Yureka'. Well, Zauba has a better track record of revealing the correct specs as compared to the GFX Bench, hence referring to the smartphone as a Yureka Plus successor would be safe call to make.

Besides that, the YU Yuphoria was a 'Made in India' smartphone as compared to the YU Yureka Plus hence it quite unlikely that the Rahul Sharma led Micromax subsidiary would replace their existing device with an imported model.
