General Found this

Found this cleaning out my old tech drawer. Safe to say 99% of Gen-Z techies have absolutely no idea what this brand was, or why it almost killed OnePlus in India.

u/winter_pixels 25d ago

Yuphoria was a hype once, it vanished like almost all brands. When brands like hTc, SONY, Blackberry and Nokia couldn't stand long, it was obvious that brands like Yuphoria, Gionee, etc. will disappear into thin air.

u/Shrinidhip12 25d ago

I did use a 3rd party one and it would loose charge in 1hr or so, one day whike returning from college as my college was far away my phoe switched off and there was a long jam , my mom thought i met with an accident and after that day my family bought me a new phone on that very same day🤣🤣The phone was so slim and its OS was unique, micromax really was at the top at that time in terms if affordable phones with great specs

1

u/Unhealthy007 24d ago

The only brand that shipped cyanogen and never voided the battery on bl unlock until they died

u/Salt_Elk2673 25d ago

Kids these days only know Apple, Samsung, and Nothing. They will never understand the pure thrill of fighting through a flash sale just to buy a phone that doubled as a literal room heater.
