There are a lot of things to like about the YU Yutopia, such as its all metal build and smooth performance.However, it can be a bit of a mixed bag, and we do have our share of niggles – with the key ones being the iffy touchscreen and fingerprint sensor.

There are a lot of things to like about the YU Yutopia, such as its all metal build and smooth performance.However, it can be a bit of a mixed bag, and we do have our share of niggles – with the key ones being the iffy touchscreen and fingerprint sensor. Battery life and camera quality could have been better too, but should suffice for most. Maybe our key issue with the Yutopia is that we were expecting quite a bit from it, especially after all the promises made by the company. However, it doesn’t seem to deliver on all fronts. Moreover, it also raises quality control-related questions, as many of the previous devices from the brand, the Yureka and the Yuphoria for example, were riddled with issues… though to be fair, the company released updates quickly to tackle most of them later. As we mentioned previously, the Yutopia is the priciest smartphone to come out of an Indian brand, and at its asking price, is competing with the likes of the OnePlus 2 (review) and if you’re stuck on a compact option, the Honor 7 (review) as well. And as things stand, both seem to be pretty compelling options. For us to be able to recommend the Yutopia, YU needs to issue a big software update for the phone pronto.
