YU is crowdsourcing the next Device name: #YUNameIt

YU, the new age technology brand that strives to work with the community to create an ecosystem of connected devices has now challenged another conventional way of naming devices. In a first ever move in the mobile ecosystem, the brand has invited its fans and followers to participate in naming its much awaited next device, which has been code named as Project Caesar. Staying true to its credo of ‘YUPlayGod’, and empowering consumers, through the first of its kind contest, YU has given the consumers the opportunity to decide on the name of the forthcoming Cyanogen-powered Smartphone. YU is focused on revolutionizing the mobility experience through highly customizable and individuality driven technology. After the enormous success of its first device YUREKA, Project Caesar is the next big thing to watch out for from YU and who better than the tech-enthusiasts to pick the name for it.
