Which is the best smartphone to buy under Rs10000 in India? (Micromax YU Yureka)

Our one word answer to this question would be Yureka!!Micromax recently launched a sister company named as YU to compete against the new players in the market such as One Plus and Xiaomi.
Their much anticipated ‘Yureka’ phone have been launched and it is currently the best smartphone you can buy under Rs10000.($160USD)

Why is YU Yureka so good?

1. It uses the much advanced Qualcomm snapdragon 615 chipset which is much better and efficient than all other chip-sets used by any phone under Rs15000. It is also the first 64bit-chipset released by qualcomm. For a comparison, Xiaomi Mi3 uses snapdragon 800, which is one of the qualcomm’s high end chipsets, but direct comparison shows that snapdragon 615 is about 44% better. Read more
2. Adreno 405 GPU will help you play all type of games on your phone.
3. It is going to be the only phone to run CyanogenMod ROM in India since micromax made an exclusive deal with cyanogenmod. This is good because, we can customize it in anyway we like. Also, this phone is going to attract lot of developers, so you can be sure that you will get loads of custom ROMs for your phone.
4. 4G. It makes you future ready.
5. Rooting do not void warranty. This is probably one of the most important feature which any developer will love to have,
6. Plenty of RAM. 2GB of DDR3 RAM is enough for almost anything. Most other phones use DDR2 RAM.
7. Good ergonomics. The back cover of this phone is made of soft plastic which they call ‘moonstone black’. It is quiet good and is similar to what we have seen in one plus one.
8. Capacitive buttons. Many recently launched phones do not have capactive buttons, but instead they have on-screen buttons. This is not good because, on screen buttons take screen space and may distract the user while using the phone. Also, it leaves the bottom side of the phone blank/unused.
9. Dual sim(4G+3G). It is a good feature, because most people may already be having two sims. It also means that you can have lesser signal-range issues. All other phones have (3g+2g) dual sim option.
10. Descent Display. The 720P 5.5inch IPS display is good. I feel that 1080P displays itself is an overkill for a smartphone.
11. Gorilla Glass 3. Many people take this for granted. But I can tell you that a scratch-resistant and hardened glass is a must-have for any smartphone.
12. Expandable Memory. Nowadays, most phone companies try to avoid providing an expandable memory so that they can sell the phone with two capacities which will give them more profit. But, Yureka have an expansion slot which allows upto 32GB memory cards. The 16GB internal memory is also a good deal at this price point.
13. Descent Camera. Yureka’s 13MP Auto Focus camera is made by Sony and is of descent quality. It is not the best camera, but it is a very good camera when compared to other phones in its range. It can even record slow-motion videos.
14. Descent Battery. It have a 2500mAH Battery. Since every component used in this phone are power-efficient(such as the new chipset and RAM), the battery will last upto 30% longer than other phones. SO the 2500mAH is comparable to a 3000mAH battery. We can tell more about this only after the launch,
15. Door-step servicing. We all know that servicing is a big headache. And micromax have already earned a bad reputation for their after-sales service. So, they decided to give door-step servicing for this phone. We don’t know how they are going to implement it or how good will it be, but it is good to hear that they are taking measures to improve service.
16. The awesome price tag of just Rs8999. I feel that, it will get sold-out in seconds.

Doesn’t that sound good? That is why we picked Micromax Yureka YU as the best smartphone under Rs10000 category.

You have to register here if you are intending to buy this awesome phone. Micromax have planned to sell it as ‘flash sales’ just like Xiaomi and only registered users will be allowed to participate in the flash sale which is to be held on January 13th. One thing we can be sure is that, the competition among the people to get their hands on this phone is going to be much higher than what we saw in the all previous flash sales.
