Yu Yutopia – Specifications, Price & Review

YU has launched its first flagship smartphone the YU Yutopia. Starting with the design, the beautiful all-metal Yutopia is built with high-grade aluminium and feels really premium in hands, just 7.2 mm thickness and rounded edges add to the comfortable grip. The Saturn ring on the back looks good and houses the rear camera and flash, and overall the Yutopia scores good in design. It sports a 5.2 inches 2k display with whooping 565 ppi pixel density, the display quality is really very good. The Yutopia is powered by Quad Core 2.0 GHz Snapdragon 810 Processor coupled with 4 GB DDR4 RAM and Adreno 430 GPU. The phone is extremely powerful and handles all the heavy graphic intensive games pretty well and, when you play heavy games the phone just gets little warmer but it doesn’t heat much and you can comfortably play games for long durations. The Yutopia is also heavily loaded when it comes to camera. It features a 21 MP rear camera with Sony’s IMX230 sensor which is very powerful and is used by Sony in its premium phones. The rear camera comes with OIS, 4K Video Recording, PDAF, Slo-mo HD video at 120 FPS, 77.3° Wide Angle Lens and clicks really good pictures. On the front, it has 8 MP selfie shooter which comes with f/2.2 aperture, 86° wide angle and clicks beautiful selfies. The Yutopia also packs a fingerprint scanner on the back which allows you to unlock the phone even when the screen is off, you can also take selfies by tapping the fingerprint scanner. The phone runs on Cyanogen OS 12.1 based on Android v5.1.1 Lollipop and will soon get the Marshmallow update. YU has also included its new ‘Around YU’ app in the phone which allows you to book flights, cabs, buses & hotels, order food and much more from the home screen. It is a Dual Sim smartphone and supports 4G on both the slots. The Yutopia packs 32 GB internal storage and is expandable upto 128 GB but, it has hybrid slot so, you can use 2 sim cards or a sim and a microSD card at a time. It is backed by a 3000 mAh battery with Quick Charge 2.0 support but, with powerful processor and display you shouldn’t expect a great battery life from it, it will just last for a day with normal usage. The phone also comes with good quality House Of Marley in-ear headphones for free. Overall, the YU Yutopia comes with great performance, display and cameras and brings in all the features of a flagship smartphone. It still isn’t a perfect smartphone but, the price at which the company is offering the phone makes it a really great deal.
