YU Yuphoria - THE BIG REVIEW

By -

The YU Yureka was a blockbuster hit, wasn’t it? The smartphone sold within seconds on Amazon.in since its release in December last year. Micromax’s subsidiary YU ventures are back with the next one, YU Yuphoria. The name for this smartphone was chosen by the crowd amongst 4 other names. The Yu Yuphoria has 5 inch display with a metal frame which is curved all over and has rounded corners. Yuphoria has the best specifications currently in the 7,000 Rs. category and looks premium in its look and feel.

PROCESSOR
The Yu Yuphoria is powered by Qualcomm's 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 410 processor which includes Adreno 306 graphics. The smartphone has 2GB DDR3 of RAM and 16GB of in-built storage. The dual sim phone supports 3G, 4G (CAT 4, including TDD-LTE, Indian 4G bands), Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS. 

DISPLAY & DESIGN
YU Yuphoria is the best looking phone in its category. The mobile made from plastic and the metal is only a trim that runs along its edges. The corners are rounded off smoothly on the Yuphoria. The top and bottom edges of the Yuphoria have strips of plastic in between the metal where the 3.5mm audio jack and micro USB port are placed. There is Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection . The display is sharp thanks to the high pixel density.

CAMERA
It features a 8MP rear camera, f2.2 aperture, capable of 1080p video capture with LED flash and a 5MP front camera (f2.0) with 86 degree wide angle lens. Pictures taken by the camera look quite decent. 

SOFTWARE
Just like Yureka, Yuphoria runs Cyanogen OS. Yu has gone with the latest version, Cyanogen 12, on top of Android 5.0.2. Cyanogen 12 is highly customizable. They include a new feature-rich email client powered by Boxer, AudioFX for equalizer settings, Baton, which can be used to 'cloudify' select apps (currently in beta), and finally Universe - a browser based on Opera Mini.

MEMORY
The smartphone has 2GB of RAM and 16GB of in-built storage. The storage can be expanded by up to 32GB using a microSD card.

BATTERY
Yuphoria comes with a 2230mAh high-density quick charge battery which the company claims delivers 160 hours of standby time and can get a 60% charge in 45 minutes. This is the only aspect where Micromax could have worked a bit better.

PRICE
Yuphoria is priced at Rs. 6,999/- and will be available through amazon only. The first flash sale is on 28th May 2015 at 2 pm. It is available in 2 colours – Buffed steel and Champagne gold.

As mentioned earlier, the YU Yuphoria has the best specifications in the 7000 rupees category. The smartphone easily beats the Xiaomi Redmi 2, Lenovo A6000 Plus and Moto E 2 in comparison. The battery life could have been better. It has good premium looks and doesn’t look cheap at all. Coupled with fast Snapdragon processor and Cyanogen 12 OS, Yuphoria is a truly exceptional smartphone at a budget price.

REVOLUTIONALIZE EDUCATION           Hi Friends, this is Suman Pandit, student of Electronics Engineering, Vidyalankar Institute of Technology, Mumbai. I have an appetite for research, innovation and entrepreneurship. In the coming days, the blog on which your sight is will feature articles ranging from sports, technology, music, art, social issues, etc. The topic for today is Education.           Education is one of the most important aspects of a human being’s life. It is a process which begins from the birth of a person and continues for his lifetime. Education is responsible for the growth of many nations and communities. Our Country, India has a population of over 1.2 billion (which is the 2 nd largest in the world). It has more youths of the age 18-30 than any other country in the world. But still, it is a developing country. The main reason for this is illiteracy and unemployable graduates. In India, people are qualifi...

A Solution to solve Mumbai's Vaccination Problem - an open letter to CM of Maharashtra

By -

Hope you are doing well..... The whole country is in deep COVID crisis. In Maharashtra too, the cases are rising. If we don't prevent this sooner, we will be in deep shortage of medical supplies and this can give rise to a big health emergency.  The only way in which we can prevent this is by Mass Vaccination of everyone in Mumbai and Maharashtra. Vaccination prevents infection of COVID and hospitalization in all age categories to a great extent. Countries like Israel and UK are a great example. As centre has not allowed Maharashtra to allow door to door vaccination, I have another idea of undertaking mass vaccination in Mumbai (can be expanded to all of Maharashtra too). After 1st May when vaccination will be opened for all adults, this will help reduce the burden on the current vaccination centres The idea- There are a lot of grounds and parks in every locality of Mumbai. They are now idle because of the current mini lockdown. There are many nurses and attendants too ...

How the 2024 T20 World Cup is a Boon for Bowling and Cricket as a whole

By -

T he just-concluded Indian Premier League (IPL) was a batsman's paradise. Flat pitches and the 'Impact Player Rule’ led to a run-fest. But fast forward a month, and the narrative has flipped dramatically in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup. Here in the Caribbean islands and USA, slower pitches and a focus on bowling are offering a refreshing and, I believe, ultimately positive, change for the sport.  Look at the numbers: Afghanistan's young pace phenom Fazal Farooqi leads the wicket-taking charts with a staggering 12 scalps in just 3 matches. The wily Sri Lankan leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga, already the record holder for most wickets in a single T20 World Cup edition (2021 & 2022), is weaving his magic again, controlling the middle overs with his bag of tricks. I still am in awe of New  Zealand's Lockie Ferguson gave a spectacular performance against Papua New Guinea in their final match of the T20 World Cup campaign on Monday. During his spell, Ferguson conceded zero...
