Hello everyone.......this post is regarding my first impression about the micromax yu yureka phone.The exclusive seller of Yureka,Amazon India, is selling the smartphone through flash sales.One great thing is that yureka runs on the most critically acclaimed Android ROM, CyanogenMod(ALSO SEE:CyanogenMod and its various features) .The YU mobile phone is designed for people who seek a high-end device at a wallet-friendly price.But is it really worth buying? Let's have a look.........
DISPLAY,BUILD AND DESIGN
CAMERA
It has a 13MP rare camera and 5 MP front camera ,but the details in the pictures taken from rare camera are not that great but decent enough under this price tag.Front camera is quite impressive.
Yu comes with the CyanogenMod Camera app that offers granular settings for controls including size, quality, shutter speed, focus duration, focus mode, and ISO, among others. Vertical swipes change the scene mode while horizontal swipes lets you browse pictures and videos shot with the phone. The app offers Panorama, Burst and HDR modes.NOTE: Pictures captured in Low-light were not as good and had considerable amount of noise. Low light photography needs improvement certainly.Front camera is too good.

SOFTWARE
The Yureka runs on Cyanogen OS 11 based on Android KitKat (v4.4).CyanogenMod, Cyanogen's Android ROM, is known for its customizability, enhanced performance and additional security and privacy features.SPEED
With 2 GB RAM (not sure if there are apps which can exploit the true potential of Octa Core), it doesn’t work, it simply flies. The interface is smooth with no lags whatsoever. You can work on multiple apps and you will not face any issues.
BATTERY
I have mixed feeling with the battery life.When I used the phone as a normal user ,the phone lasted very well.It got me through a day on a single charge.With WiFi/3G connected all the time and mix usage of calls, whatsapp, social media and multimedia the phone manages to last one day without issues.I must say,nice battery life under this price range.
MUSIC
The speaker is just not loud enough.....
GAMING
I played games like Real Racing 3, Leo's Fortune, Riptide GP2 and Asphalt 8 (with Visual Quality set to High and Engine at 100%) without without encountering frame drops or freezes. Slight heating noticed in prolonged gaming .( Might require yureka to release some updates to fix the issue )
Overall excellent phone made special by unbeatable price point , Go for Yureka instead of Mi Note 4G . beats all existing 10K to 15 K phones with its excellent features, specs and future proof model ........
