The sudden influx of powerfully-specced smartphones in the sub-Rs. 10,000 segment has thrown it wide open of late. We have compact phones such as the Motorola Moto E (Gen 2) (Review | Pictures), Xiaomi Redmi 2 (Review | Pictures) and Lenovo A6000 Plus (Review | Pictures) as well as phablets such as the Lenovo A7000 (Review |Pictures) and Yu Yureka (Review | Pictures). There is absolutely no dearth of options.
Yu Televentures is a subsidiary of Micromax and the first phone that the company introduced was the Yureka. It saw a good deal of success thanks to its good hardware and unbelievably low pricing. The company recently announced an even more affordable phone to target the under - Rs. 7,000 segment. The new Yu Yuphoria has the best specs on paper, but competition is stiff. Let's find out how it fares.
Look and feel
The founder of Yu Televentures spent a lot of time at the launch event explaining how the engineers at the company worked hard to incorporate metal into the body of the Yuphoria, which is a budget phone at heart. While the Yuphoria is one of the better looking devices in its category, the design of the phone is far from original, resembling the Nokia Lumia 830 (Review | Pictures).

The Yuphoria is mostly made from plastic and the metal is only a trim that runs along its edges. Unlike the Lumia 830, 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 (top) and Micro-USB port (bottom) are placed. We are not fans of this design because it is quite distracting.
