15,000 units of Micromax's Yu Yureka smartphone will be made available on Thursday in its sixth flash sale that kicks off at 2pm IST on Amazon India for registered users. Yu announced the number of units going on sale in a tweet on Wednesday.
Update: Micromax announced that 15,000 Yu Yureka smartphones went out of stock in 4 seconds in its sixth flash sale.

On Wednesday, Amazon, the exclusive online partner for Micromax's Yu Yureka, announced the 'Golden Ticket' sale for select customers.

The sale on Wednesday was meant for "customers who showed interest to buy the Yu Yureka" earlier but were unable to avail the product due to outstripping supply.

The online retailer in a press statement detailed that only registered customers who were unable buy the handset were eligible to participate in Wednesday's sale and received an email from Amazon.in confirming their access to the sale. Along the lines of the 'Golden Ticket' sale, Amazon.in last month announced a limited sale for "impacted customers."

The fourth flash sale saw 15,000 units of the Yureka smartphone going out of stock in 4 seconds, much like the last sale. Meanwhile the third flash sale of saw 10,000 smartphones going out of stock in 3 seconds.

Priced at Rs. 8,999, Micromax's Yu Yureka (Review | Pictures) offers some rather impressive specifications at the price. The dual-SIM smartphone features Cat. 4 4G LTE connectivity, and runs Cyanogen OS 11 based on Android 4.4.4 KitKat.
