YU Yureka Review: YU Got it Correct ~ Techno Razer

Micromax Had Climbed The Crown Of Top Selling Phones in India, Though The Bad Reputation of After Sale Service it Maintained its Place, But Now Micromax Wants to be a Standout From Other Companies Offerings, The Result is YU-Televentures a Subsidiary Brand of Micromax With Cyanagen Mod as Partner. The Main Aim of Yu is to Target Youth and Tech Savvy with Tight Budget Constraints and Intelligent Marketing

Unlike The Micromax Regular Bloatware, YU Comes With Clean and Yet Powerful Eco-System of Cyanagenmod OS 11 (KitKat 4.4.4). The Box in Which its packed Looks Similar to That of Xiaomi. Looks Like Micromax is Trying Hard To Sustain, So Did YU Justify The Requirement ??? Lets Find Out.

Display:

Thought The Phone is 5.5 Inches its Good Enough to Operate With One Hand and also when compared with the Redmi note 4G which is the competitor of Yu this Device looks premium and also the Back of the device looks similar to that of OnePlus One Sandstone Black. The Device is 13.97 mm HD IPS Display with 1280*720p Resolution and 267 PPI with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 Protections. The Viewing angles are Good but not the best,Though the comapny said it has 80 degree viewing angles.

Physical Overview:

Though it is micromax device they are no signs of its branding on the device nor the box. The volume buttons and power lock/unlock buttons are on the sides which are easily reachable though the fact that it is 5.5 inch device. the USB slot is at the bottom and headphone jack on the top.on opening the back you can find removable 2500mah battery, SD card slot and two micro sim slots.on back the device has 13MP Auto Focus camera and on the front 5MP camera.

Performance: Yurekha is one the few devices powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 octacore chipset with 64Bit support, Clocked at 1.5GHz with 2GB Ram. We played few games like modern combat 5 and asphalt 8 which ran without any issues.With Some Intense Testing we Say that YU Can run literally anything you through at it provides that you have memory in it.

Camera: There is 13MP f2.2 aperture Sony IMX 135 CMOS Sensor Rear Camera With 5P Largan with Blue Lens Architecture Can Record 4K Videos also and 24FPS frame rate and 5MP Front Camera. The Camera Has Decent Amount of Tweaks Like Live Filter, Exposure Control, Burst Mode and Video Can be Recorded in SLO-MO and Time Lapse.Camera Interface is Simple Enough For Modifying the Filters and Options. The Day Lighting Pictures are Clear and Had Very Less Noise in Them with good amount of details Captured, The Focus was Sharp and the Closeup Shots were Sharp, but the low lighting was a bit of challenge as it struggles sometimes with no sufficient ambient light , as a result the wider shots and long distance shots turned out good but close ups were a hit or miss here.with no doubt they best camera in this price range

Battery: The Battery on YU is 2500 which looks small on the paper but the backup depends on the way we use the device with some occasional gaming and browsing it lasted for a day or so but with intense gaming it couldn't get any longer than 5 hours, which we consider good as its competitors also have similar battery backup. the company claimed that the 615 octacore chipset has a different algorithm for battery, well we agree that on some levels. but for the price we pay we are more than satisfied.

Software and Connectivity: YU Comes with android 4.4.4 on top of Cyanagen mod OS 11. there is themes which change the complete look and feel of the device. right from the boot animation to font everything can be customized. As far as the connectivity the device supports 4G bands for faster connectivity and faster speeds with CAT4 150mbps Download speeds.
