Micromax Yu Yuphoria Discussion Thread

Micromax YU Yuphoria
Finally got the phone an hour ago(2[SUP]nd[/SUP] June). As I'm at office couldn't test it fully.

Complete Review -
After using the phone for 4 days I would not recommend this phone for others.
Cons-

1. Screen doesn't wake up immediately when we get calls, it take 4-5secs to wake up.
   
2. UI has few bugs- some icons gets stuck during normal functions.
3. After clicking the home button for 4 day, I get a feeling that it would last only 1 month
4. Battery drains very quickly. As of now I did not play any games/movies even then it lasts around 10 hours.
5. Even if I used whatsapp and take few pics then we can observe heating near camera area.
6. Few mins of 3G internet access leads up to heating near camera area.
7. When I use uber app, it doesn't show the current location, maps is not working in uber.(I will explorer more on this and update here)

Pros-

1. Camera is a surprise for me, it is very good at this price range
2. Touch is pretty good(no lag)
3. Themes are good(CM has few free theme - I have to explorer more here)

I will add few more points later on.

After reading all the specs about this phone, it seems it will beat all current droid phones below 7000 range... Maybe it can stand as 2nd best phone below ₹10000 range( the first being his elder bro yu yureka). Though processor speed is a bit slow, it may not matter as much, as it sports a 2GB ram. The OS and its version is also a big plus point. Really guys!! I feel this phone is made to win the hearts of budget - strict people. Now only someone had got his hands on it. The review would be complete!

Anyone buying the phone tomorrow?

I have a query, actually I registered 1 week back and forgot which email I used in amazon.
Now do we get any mail after we register/subscribe for Yu product?
How can I check my subscriptions in amazon?

 

[gamefreak4770k]

Did anyone buy?

 

[BhargavJ]

I wanted to buy, but only the Steel version was available, not the Gold version. I'm still waiting. Anyone knows when the next sale will start, or whether the phone is available in the market?

I had logged in before 2 PM; before the sale started, they said only the Steel one was available so I decided to just and watch. A few seconds after 2 PM, I clicked the refresh button and it said 31% of the phones had been claimed. I kept refreshing; it didn't take even a full minute for all the phones to be claimed. In a few minutes, even the waiting list was full. I don't know how many mobile phones got sold in that one minute.

Updated the first post have a look at it.

Going to buy this today for my cousin.

Any solid reason not to buy it? You have less than 2 hours to suggest!

 

[ashs1]

If your cousin has lots of hevc/h265 videos, stay away from yureka.. Heats up terribly and causes heavy battery drain

Yureka =/= Yuphoria.

And hevc isn't common, atleast not in India. I still see people downloading movies/shows in .avi format.

WTH ?! Im surprised at how so little battery is consumed on video playback(high bitrate 1080p x265 encoded videos, 4 mins~200MB ) 1 hour of playback hardly consumes 20% battery. My Z Ultra on the other hand drains almost twice as fast, though screen size isn't that much larger.

 

[Vyom]

Bought. I hope I get to play with Yuphoria for a few days before I hand the phone to him.

 

[kg11sgbg]

Booked + Prepaid(amazon.in) with success....waiting for the cyanogenmod OS to tinker with.
