Micromax YU YUREKA - Huge Features over Cyanogen MOD at a Cheaper price

Micromax is known at offering amazing features in terms of hardware at a cheaper price in India. It provided quad core and octa core processor mobiles accompanied by 2 to 3 gigs of RAM along with decent cameras at a pretty cheaper price. My concern was that these processors failed to reach the appropriate benchmark scores when compared to other processors with same juice. Most of the Micromax mobiles were powered with ARM7 processors and these processors failed to reach up the expectations when compared to Snapdragon processors in terms of speed and performance.

But the new YU YUREKA preferably called as Micromax YUREKA comes with amazing features like Octa core Snapdragon 615 processor along with 2 GB RAM. Most of the features are similar to HTC Desire 820. But the difference comes with price. YUREKA is available at less than half of the price of HTC Desire 820. Lets dig into the details.


Micromax YUREKA is pretty big in terms of size. It has a 5.5 inch IPS screen which comes with corning gorilla glass 3. This makes the phone scratch resistant. I felt that the pixels per inch (227) is pretty low for such a big screen. Still it has a brilliant display, vibrant and beautiful color reproduction. The viewing angels are also pretty good.




The power button is located at the top rite side of the phone while the volume rocker button is on left side. Top end of the phone lodges the 3.5 mm ear phone jack. The bottom end of the phone has the USB charging slot. The back side of the phone has the 13 MP camera while the front facing camera is 5 MP shooter. 

The phone has rounded corners for proper grip and the back cover is matte finished. Micromax Yureka is a dual sim phone. The back cover is removable and once it is removed we can see the sim card slots, micro sd card slot and a 2500 mAh battery. I guess the battery could have been better and we found it hard make the battery last for one full day with a complete charge.

There are three capacitative buttons for navigation at the bottom of the screen and are back lit. There is a setting in the phone with which you can make these navigation buttons appear on the mobile's screen itself. The UI is also different from other Micromax phones and it does not contain any bloat ware.

The cameras perform pretty decently in low light conditions also. I don't say that it is the best but it is pretty decent.

The Micromax YUREKA runs on Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 octa core processor accompanied by 2 GB RAM. The most interesting part of this mobile is that it runs on Android 4.4.4 Cyanogen mod that is officially supported by the firm. This is the second phone after One plus One that officially comes with a Cyanogen MOD. Micromax promised that Lollipop version will be released soon.

Another good thing is that if you root the mobile and something goes wrong, may be your phone is bricked while rooting, the company will freely do the servicing to fix the issue. This means rooting doesn't void your warranty.

The mod runs very smoothly without any lags. Even the benchmark scores are pretty good. 

YU YUREKA is available at very low price (Rs.8,990 INR) when compared to the features it offers. This mobile is available for sale through Amazon's site and you need to register first to buy it.

So what are you waiting for. Gran this amazing phone that comes at amazingly cheaper price.
