Yu Yuphoria Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
8.0/10
Verdict
At Rs 6,999, the YU Yuphoria is a highly noteworthy option for anyone looking for a capable budget device. The specs that it offers for its asking price are quite loaded, and the fact that it uses a metal frame and looks stylish are the proverbial icing on the cake. But that’s just one side of the coin. At the time this smartphone was announced, we thought it’s going to trump the Lenovo A6000 Plus (review) easily.

At Rs 6,999, the YU Yuphoria is a highly noteworthy option for anyone looking for a capable budget device. The specs that it offers for its asking price are quite loaded, and the fact that it uses a metal frame and looks stylish are the proverbial icing on the cake. But that’s just one side of the coin. At the time this smartphone was announced, we thought it’s going to trump the Lenovo A6000 Plus (review) easily. The A6000 Plus was pretty much the most affordable smartphone with 2GB of RAM at the time. However, with the gripes we have with the Yuphoria, we can’t really recommend it outright. The Coolpad Dazen 1 (unboxing first impressions) is also another compelling offering with 2GB of RAM, though the offered storage is 8GB. Coolpad launched it at Rs 6,999, but has since dropped the price to Rs 5,999 making it a worthy option, at least on paper.We believe that the issues we’ve seen on the Yuphoria are mostly software related, and can possibly be resolved via a software update. In fact, YU has just released an update, and we hope that it addresses the problems we’ve mentioned. As of the time of writing this review, our test unit hadn’t received the update. YU’s blog post mentions that the update would be rolling out over the next few weeks and if it does iron out the kinks and improve the battery life, the Yuphoria has what it takes to be a very compelling option in the affordable segment. Update, June 30th We`ve just flashed the incremental update released by YU manually on our review unit, and can confirm that it does resolve most of the issues we mentioned. The device generally feels more responsive, and the freezes on the lockscreen and the delay in the screen switching when receiving incoming calls are gone. Thanks to the update, we feel that the Yuphoria is definitely a worthy buy if you`re looking for a 4G-capable device without breaking the bank. Accordingly, we`re also revising our review rating to reflect this.
Pros
- Stylish looks
- 4G support
- Cyanogen on a budget
- Decent pair of snappers
Cons
- Average battery life

Metal-infused design
+
The YU Yuphoria has been given the tagline ‘the miracle in metal’, and though we think it falls a few paces short of being a miracle, the fact that the device rocks a metal frame is quite noteworthy. Not only does it impart a better build, it helps make the device stand out among the sea of plasticky budget smartphones, all of of which look similar.

Screening the display
+
The Yuphoria’s window to the world is its 5-inch IPS LCD display that rocks a resolution of 1,280 x 720. A layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 tries to keep scratches at bay. 720p resolution is pretty much the best you can get at this price point, and we found the Yuphoria’s screen to be decent as far as capabilities go. It’s responsive and offers good visuals without any pixelation, though we did think it looks a tad washed out from certain angles. However, that's not likely to be a deal breaker for most. It’s also quite reflective, which means that sunlight legibility can be an issue.

Cyanogen on a budget
+
Just like the OnePlus One (review) and the Yureka, the Yuphoria uses Cyanogen OS as its software platform. The OS is now in version 12, and uses Android Lollipop as its base.

The camera prowess
+
Camera capabilities are an important criteria for smartphone buyers across price segments, and the Yuphoria does reasonably well for a budget device. It offers an 8-megapixel autofocus rear camera with f/2.2 aperture and a 5MP front shooter with a 4P lens and 85-degree wide angle view. As expected, the shooting app available by default is the Cyanogen camera app, and the interface is quite minimal and plain Jane. Swipes give you access to various shooting modes on offer, and you can expect the usual ones such as HDR, Night and Beauty. The panorama mode is available right up front, and diving into the settings lets you tweak other parameters.

Bursts of pace, slowed down by speed breakers
+
Powering the show on the Yuphoria is a 64-bit Snapdragon 410 quad-core chip clocked at 1.2GHz. Working in tandem with 2GB of RAM, it can offer reasonably smooth performance and you should be fine as long as you don’t expect fireworks.
