Meanwhile, Micromax has rebranded its “Around Yu†services which will now be known as “Around Service†– this service will be available in both Canvas 6 and 6 Pro, and will gradually be extended to other Micromax products. “Around Yu’ or ‘Around Services’ is an integrated suite of services rolled into one discovery window for the users. One can access this section by swiping to the extreme right EDGE of the home screen. Around Yu service is designed to pull up information from apps and web and provide contextual recommendation of content and actions, saving a user time and effort to switch among a plethora of apps. The idea is worth applauding and appreciating.
