#1 Latest CyanogenMod
Micromax Yu Yuraka has the latest version of CyanogenMod 11 M12. The phone promises to deliver smoother performance with this CyanogenMod. Although the performance wont be as good as we have seen on Oneplus one but assures power pack performance.
#2 Processor
The phone has one of the powerful processors promising high end performance. It has Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 Octacore processor clocked at 1.5 GHz. You wont get better processor than this which is priced as low as 8999. Even Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G cant match Micromax Yu Yureka as far as performance is concerned.
#3 RAM and ROM
The phablet has managed to dig inside with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of Internal storage. We dont have any complaints on RAM as well Internal storage of Yu Yureka. Internal storage is more than expected because most of the devices at this price dont have ROM more than 8GB.

Micromax Yureka packs a very good camera on the front as well on the back of this device. The phone has 13 Megapixel Sony IMX 135 rear camera with LED flash.

5 Reasons Not To Buy Micromax Yu Yureka
#1 Poor Battery
The phone has 5.5 inch screen which needs decent battery to run for a long time. The phablets packs 2500mAh battery which is quite low for 5.5 inch phablet. Although Micromax says the phone is well optimised for better battery performance but 2500 mAh battery seems very less for a phablet.
#2 Build Quality
The build quality of this phone is not upto the mark when compared to the devices like OnePlus One. The build quality could have been better but we cant compare this phone to oneplus one which is priced 3X times than Yureka.
#3 Android Lollipop Missing
The device has Android 4.4.4 Kitkat with CyanogenMod. Although we dont have complaints regarding software but Android Lollipop could have been better. The people are loving the material design of
Android L, Cyanogenmod with lollipop would have been even better.
#4 Service Issue
If you are one those who are cautious about service then this phone is not for you. The company is offering door step delivery via ticket system but we are not quite sure how this system will work.
#5 Not Easily Available
This is the biggest blunder of this device as it is difficult to get this device. The company is following xiaomi’s flash sale marketing strategy. Surprsingly, Micromax selected Tuesday as flash sale of this device. So we are heading towards Xiaomi Vs Micromax and Amazon Vs Flipkart on every Tuesday, 2 PM.
This is a very bad phone.
Battery is very bad, 4-5 hours of browsing on 3G. Hardly 2 hours of Gameplay like clash of clans, Battery drainage even when kept idle, recharge takes 4-5 hours from 0-100%. Recharge is slower than discharge, means when using phone and charging graph still goes low.
Phone heates like heater. Goes up to 75 deg C. You can’t keep the phone on the ear its so hot. Its cold now, I’m enjoying my Yureka, a portable hand warmer, just need to use the phone and will heat, no switches no tension, whatsapp heat, watching video, heat, calling, heat. Nice & portable heater, best use in cold places.
