The Yureka Black is easily one of the best looking smartphones in the budget segment and can even compete with devices priced much higher when it comes to design. The handset is a decent performer too, so long as you don't subject it to some intensive...

At Rs 8,999 the Yureka Black touches the notch of a good comeback product with its uncommon design and a competitive hardware. The phone convinces by offering enough value for money but somewhere its dwarfed by the competition, specifically the Redmi 4...

The Yureka Black marks a comeback for the online-exclusive Yu brand, and it has the right specifications, features, and price to appeal to a wide audience. While it may not manage to garner as much interest as the original Yureka did back in 2015, it...

Yureka Black is probably one of the best smartphones in the price segment for its looks, simple to use GUI and a good front and rear camera. The performance of the phone is quite decent as well.Where this phone lags behind is the persistent overheating...

A good handset by YU that offers smooth performance, decent battery life, does not heat up much (battery temp under 46 degrees) and camera quality is above average. Redmi 4 / Redmi Note 4 are better and should be your first choice but in case you are...
