a new value-for-money, BUDGET SMARTPHONE, named YU YUPHORIA.
The name Yuphoria was crowd sourced. At Rs 6,999, the pricing is also lower
and is similar to the likes of the Xiaomi Redmi 2 and Lenovo A6000 Plus.
SUPERIOR CRAFTSMANSHIP IN METAL
The highlight of the phone is its metal frame which
is curved all over and has rounded corners with a
smooth matte finish. There are two small bands the
top and bottom edge of the phone that features 3.5
mm headset jack and micro-USB port. The right
edge features the three metal buttons, a long power
key is sandwiched between the volume rocker keys.
They are placed within easy reach and offer good
tactile feedback and are pretty responsive. The
back panel hides a removable battery along with
two micro SIM-card slots and a MicroSD card slot.
You can see see a ring surrounding the camera lens
in the back, which embeds the LED flash.
DISPLAY
The front portion is dominated by a 5-inch HD
IPS display (720x1280p). Yuphoria comes
with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection.
