25,000 units of Micromax's Yu Yureka smartphone will be made available to purchase on Thursday. It is the fifth flash sale of the smartphone, and kicks off at 2pm IST on Amazon India for registered users.

Yu announced the number of units going on sale in a tweet on Tuesday. Notably, this is the first flash sale that will see 25,000 units of the Yureka smartphone going up for sale in India.

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