At Rs 12,999, the YU Yunicorn surely seems to be a clincher of a phone. But is there more to the Yunicorn that meets the eye?
Jun 07 2016 By Nitansh RastogiWe have always stated that the pricing is the most crucial thing for a product – one that can make or break it. In most cases, we dismiss the device due to the poor pricing. But with the YU Yunicorn, it’s the complete opposite of that. The smartphone deserves a second look due to its aggressive pricing. It’s available for mouth-watering Rs 12,999 for a month as an introductory offer. After this, it’ll retail for Rs 13,499, which is still quite an attractive proposition. YU is going back on its original premise of being an online-only brand and we’re certainly glad about it. Starting next month, the Yunicorn will go on sale at offline stores as well.The YU Yunicorn is up against some tough opponents such as the Lenovo ZUK Z1 (review) and Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (review), and both of them offer powerful specs with long battery life. There’s Lenovo-owned Moto G4 Plus (review) as well, which is also a solid offering.Taken at the face value, the YU Yunicorn has an equal share of positives and negatives. What works ultimately in the favour of the YU Yunicorn is its pricing and the fact that it’ll eventually be available offline. It features a premium metal body but the design language is copied, it has powerful innards and yet it struggles with heavy games and the camera performance is average at best. It’s Around YU feature is surely promising and could unlock a lot of possibilities if it’s integrated well. But summing it all up, we can’t recommend the YU Yunicorn whole-heartedly considering that the competition is much better when it comes to offering an all-round experience.
