3) YU-YUREKA

     The next phone that falls under this category is YU-Yureka. This is the very first device from Yu televentures, partly owned by Micromax to feature Android lollipop with Cyanogen OS which can provide seamless customization. Comparing with Lenvo K3 Note and Infocus M330 listed above, what makes Yureka different is its processing skills. It has Qualcomm snapdragon octa core 615 processor clocked at  1.5 GHz, which is coupled with Adreno 405 GPU and 2 GB DDR3 RAM. No doubt, Yureka could give you the best multitasking as well as a gaming experience with superior graphic processing.

     Diving on to the features, Yureka sports a 5.5 inch HD IPS Screen with a resolution of 1280*720 pixels. The screen also has corning gorilla glass 3 with an oleophobic coating.

    The battery life on this device is not terrible, but not that great too. Yu- yureka is backed by  2500 mAh user replaceable battery which I would say is not much impressive. It offers only 8 hours talk time.
