1. Micromax Yu Yuphoria:

The competition is the fiercest now! And as the result of the competition just see what we are getting now at this low price. With the Yuphoria, Micromax has tried to put everything we would want in a phone – A great design with metal bezels, good build quality, amazing software in the form of Cyanogen 12 OS, a very good performance, good cameras and a decent battery life. Well in no manner I am overstating about the phone. Micromax has actually stuffed the phone too much at a very low price.

It runs on a Quad-core 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 Processor coupled with 2 GB RAM. Has a good 5 inches HD display. It has a good 8 MP rear camera with f2.2 aperture lens which means it will allow the sensor to capture more light and will increase the DOF (Depth of Field), in short it will take pictures with a great quality. The 5 MP front camera with 4p lens & 85 degree wide-angle lens allows you to capture great selfies with more people in it. The Yuphoria is also great in storage with its 16 GB internal and an upto 32 GB expandable storage. It also offers 4G and dual sim support.

When it comes to design the phone looks and feels great. It has metallic bezels which adds a great value to the feel of phone, the big circular camera module at the back also looks good. The 2230 mAH battery doesn’t promise a huge battery life but it’s good. The Micromax subsidiary Yu Televentures has got huge success with the Yu Yureka and same is bound to happen with the Yu Yuphoria. Overall, the phone is a complete package, offers best performance and design and is the best you can get at this price.
