YU to launch Lollipop-powered ‘Project Caesar’ smartphone

It looks like YU, the recently launched smartphone brand from Micromax, is gearing up to launch a new smartphone.

The firm has already started teasing a phone which has been code-named Project Caesar. The latest teasers on the company's Facebook page suggest that the phone will come preloaded with Android Lollipop, the latest version of Google's mobile OS.

YU has even taken a dig at Xiaomi in a teaser that reads, 'KitKat in the age of lollipop? Give ME a break.' Interestingly the 'ME' in the teaser resembles Xiaomi's 'Mi' logo. It's worth pointing out that Xiaomi's recent flagship, Mi 4, comes preloaded with Android 4.4 KitKat and not Lollipop.

YU is rumoured to release the new smartphone in April. This is also the time when Cyanogen, which powers the software of YU smartphones, is expected to release a build based on Android Lollipop. No other details related to the phone are available at the moment. The company had earlier launched Yureka, a budget phone that offers mid-range specifications and is sold via weekly flash sales.
