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 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.
