1. Trusted Brand

2. YU is a new smartphone brand launched by Micromax in 2015. YU devices are powered by Cyanogenmod OS, and it delivers powerful hardware at competitive prices.

3. Even though it is from the Micromax family, YU does not have any service centres. They do doorstep servicing in certain cities but for most cases you need to courier the phone to their Delhi headquarters. The cost of courier will be reimbursed by the company.

Verdict

The Yu Yureka scores high on price-to-performance ratio. Reflecting upon the Yu Yureka price in India and the high ending specs it is loaded with, makes it a decent buy. Premium 4G connectivity at the lowest price possible and the user friendly Cyanogenmod OS with rich hardware integration definitely attracts the attention of the tech savvy people guaranteeing them a seamless performance. Buy Yu Yureka if you want more for less. Lenovo K3 Note, Xiaomi Mi Note 4G are some of the good alternate if you are looking for more options.

Value for money

Display

The display of Micromax Yu Yureka is an epitome of supreme engineering. It flaunts a 5.5-inch IPS display with a pixel resolution of 720 x 1,280 at 267ppi. Although the screen looks a bit dull with traces of over-saturated colors, the decent viewing angles as wide as 180 degrees is quite impressive and is easily readable under direct sunlight. Micromax offers an added incentive by providing additional protection to the screen by the means of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection and oleophobic coating over the display.

Design and Build

Micromax Yu Yureka with a dimension of 154.8 x 78mm is 8.5mm thick and weighs 155g. The all plastic body of the smartphone makes it comfortable to hold and fits well within one hand. A new premium matte finish has been infused at the back cover which the company calls the Moonstone Grey to make it fingerprint and smudge proof - a sandpaper kind of a feeling enabling a good grip.

Performance

The Yu Yureka specs make it a performer as it is geared to run on a 64-bit octa-core (Quad-core 1.7 GHz Cortex-A53 & quad-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A53 processor) based on a Qualcomm MSM8939 Snapdragon 615 chipset. It is coupled by a 2GB DDR3 RAM and Adreno 405 chipset GPU. The hardware is suitable for executing multiple apps, clicking images, navigating across multiple web pages and playing high resolution games.

The Yu Yureka has got good reviews for smooth multitasking and powerful performance. Cyanogen OS 11 platform, a modified version of Android v4.4.4 KitKat OS has been inducted to facilitate an intuitive UI to the users.

Camera, Battery and Storage

The Yu Yureka sports a 13-MP autofocus rear camera with Sony EXMOR CMOS sensor, LED flash and a 5MP front snapper providing the shutterbugs with decent quality images with good colour presence and an enriching selfie experience. It records 1080p videos at 30fps and 720p videos at 60fps. The camera also features a slo-mo video mode with 60 frames per second.

A 2,500mAh Li-Po battery acts as the substratum providing a standby time of 210 hours and a talk time of 8 hours. The device comes with an inbuilt memory of 16-GB and further allows increasing the memory up to 32GB by inserting a micro SD card.

Connectivity

On the connectivity front the device is 3G enabled and also features other basic elements like Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth v4.0. The most exciting feature at this price range is the 4G connectivity as it also supports 4G LTE Cat4 networks ensuring hi-speed web browsing experience.

Yes, YU Yureka is eligible for Jio Welcome Offer, in fact, any device which has 4G connectivity is eligible for the same.However, you won't be able to use VoLTE technology and for that, you can use JioJoin app from Jio and make HD voice and video calls.
