The YU Yureka Black is a budget smartphone aimed at young smartphone users looking to buy a smartphone in the sub-₹10,000 segment.
The YU Yureka Black comes with Snapdragon 430 SoC under the hood which is coupled with 4 GB RAM and backed by Adreno 505 GPU. The device boots up to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow and is kept on by a 3000 mAh battery. The YU Yureka Black flaunts a metal uni-body design and is 8.73 mm thin.
At the front of the device is the fingerprint scanner which is housed on the home button. YU claims that this fingerprint scanner can unlock the smartphone in 0.2 seconds. The YU Yureka Black comes with a 13 MP camera at the back which is accompanied by dual-LED flash, and, at the front is the 8 MP camera which comes with Selfie Flash to help you to take brighter selfies in low-light conditions.
“Most of the consumers in the age group of 18-25 years felt that all the smartphones in the sub 10K category look almost the same. With Yureka Black, we are targeting these consumers who believe that the phones should be a reflection of their personality and are looking for smartphones which is not just strong in the hardware front but are aesthetically great looking as well.
