Yu Yutopia Ota Update

YU Televentures today announced that they are finally seeding an incremental update to their flagship Yutopia smartphone which makes the fingerprint sensor work better as well as resolve its touchscreen issues.


Its good to see YU finally acknowledging these issues with Yutopia. We have faced both issues on our review unit and were holding out on our full-review till we got this update. But they took their own sweet time to publish this update. There are some more issues with the Yutopia which we will cover in our review.

Here's the complete changelog:

  • The fingerprint reader now allows for five attempts. Previous version only allowed for three.
  • When the user reaches five failed attempts the fingerprint reader will time out for 15 seconds. The user will feel multiple vibrations from the reader on the final failed attempt letting them know to unlock their device.
  • After 15 seconds the user can again attempt to unlock the device with the finger print sensor.
  • After 5 unsuccessful attempts user can unlock the device with Password/PIN.

The YU Yutopia version YOG4PAS5W0 just resolves the above mentioned bugs, the Cyanogen version remains the same at 12.1. At present there is no word as to when the Yutopia will be updated to Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
