YU Yureka

YU Yureka : The Play God

Micromax's Yu Yureka Starts Receiving Android 5.0.2 Lollipop-Based Cyanogen OS 12 Update

There's no sign of Micromax anywhere on the product or its packaging despite that brand's popularity, which means Yu really doesn't want to be associated with its parent company. The box is very plain; just brown cardboard with Yu and Cyanogen logos printed on all sides. It's almost as minimalist as Xiaomi's boxes, but nowhere near as slick. There's a lot to like about the Yu Yureka. For starters, there's the brand new Qualcomm Snapdragon 615, an octa-core SoC with 64-bit support. Lower cost octa-core processors from MediaTek have been around for quite a while, but this is a first for Qualcomm. Cyanogen 11 just happens to be 64-bit capable, which makes that feature worthwhile too. There's 2GB of RAM, which is good for a phone in this price bracket. There's 16GB of internal storage space and up to 32GB can be added using a microSD card.

We were eager to see how Qualcomm's new CPU performs, and the results were quite positive. 

Yu's primary means of achieving this is an exclusive tieup with Cyanogen Inc. to preload Cyanogen 11, a popular Android fork, onto its devices. Cyanogen is polished and powerful, and will help these devices stand out.

Yu's first product, the Yureka, is a pretty important phone. Cheesy name aside, Yu seems to be gunning for the slot formerly occupied by the 3G Xiaomi Redmi Note. The Yureka's size, appearance and specifications are pretty evenly matched with those of Xiaomi's big-screen offering, which means they're impressive considering both devices' low price tags.

Look and feel

The Yu Yureka itself is not especially slim or light but it does appear better constructed than most Micromax phones we've seen before. The front is smooth and free of markings other than an outline of the Home button printed beneath the screen. The Back and Menu buttons don't have printed icons but all three light up when the screen is active. There isn't much room around the screen, and the edges are slightly raised to help prevent scratching.

The "moonstone grey" rear has an interesting texture - at first glance, it looks exactly like the rough sandpapery finish of the OnePlus One's rear, though in this case it's smooth and pleasant to hold. For some reason, Yu decided to go with a light blue printed logo which looks very odd and cheapens the entire device. The camera and flash are tucked away in one corner and the only other thing to be seen is a small speaker grille running across the bottom.

The power and volume buttons are easily reachable on the sides, and the Micro-USB and headset sockets are on the bottom and top respectively. Beneath the rear shell you'll find the removable battery, two Micro-SIM card slots and a microSD slot. One of the SIMs is hot swappable, but the other two slots can only be used if you pop the battery out.

Specifications and software

We're also happy with the screen's 720x1280-pixel resolution. At 5.5 inches, it's just a little grainy - but again we're reminded that we could be doing a lot worse when it comes to sub-Rs. 10,000 smartphones. The standard wireless protocols are covered: Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi b/g/n. LTE is supported on the 2300MHz TDD band currently used by Indian service providers as well as the less common 1800MHz FDD band.

The Yureka isn't the first device in India to come running Cyanogen OS - that distinction goes to the OnePlus One . For now, it looks as though OnePlus won't be able to sell devices running Cyanogen anymore, thanks to a rathercontentious  legal dispute between all three companies.

Cyanogen OS looks good, and one of its strengths is that you can customise many aspects of its appearance. We weren't too happy with Yu's rather vanilla lockscreen, but it can be disabled in the settings and the default lockscreen with shortcuts and widgets replaced it. There is a row of settings shortcuts in the notifications shade, but there's also a button that takes you to another panel with more shortcuts (including some duplicates).

There are loads of settings for lots of tiny little things, such as the appearance of the power level indicator in the status bar, how long the capacitive button backlight should stay on, and what each of the device's buttons should do. You can disable the capacitive buttons altogether and display soft buttons on screen, if you would like to for any reason. There are also lots of shortcuts, such as double-tapping the status bar to lock the phone, or sliding a finger along it to adjust brightness. One of our favourite features is sound profiles - just like on old Nokia phones, you can set profiles such as Home, Work, Night and Silent.

The look and feel of the UI is highly customisable. Just like we saw on the OnePlus One, you can mix and match elements from different themes. We eventually settled on a custom mix of elements from the Android Holo theme and Yu's own defaults. Creating a Cyanogen account gives you access to more downloadable themes - we could see only five in the app, but presumably there will be more in due course.

Yu has kept the bloatware to a minimum. In addition to all the common Google apps, there's a browser called Yuniverse (which is nothing more than Opera with a skin and custom icon), an audio equaliser and effects app called AudioFX, a souped-up calculator, and something called Baton that claims to "cloudify" any app of your choosing, which means they'll be able to sync content across devices even if they don't have that capability on their own. The Baton app didn't work at all for us - it forced us to download an update from the Play store, which threw up an error stating no such app exists.

Performance

Day-to-day usage was perfectly fine. The Yureka is highly polished, and honestly, it felt a lot better to hold and use than most Micromax phones that have come our way in the past year or even more. The screen was fairly legible in sunlight and though it isn't perfectly crisp, it's one of the better ones we've seen on such a low-priced phone.

Our 1080p 40Mbps MKV sample clip just did not play, but other file formats seemed fine. The phone's built-in speaker was reasonably loud but we found it to be above par in terms of sound quality. On the other hand, the bundled headset isn't very comfortable and is no good for music though it should do for making and receiving calls.

Call quality is decent, and we had no complaints. The battery lasted 7 hours, 26 minutes in our video loop test, which is a little underwhelming by today's standards.

What really stood out for us was the camera. We were really impressed with the quality of images taken by the Yureka. Close-ups were quite brilliant, and in daylight, images were perfectly sharp at the focus point even at 100 percent zoom on a desktop monitor. The phone did take an unusually long time to autofocus and it was often simpler to tap the screen and force it. This also meant that subjects in motion were challenging to capture. On the other hand, we were able to create some surprisingly good depth-of-field effects with zero effort.

Low-light situations definitely challenged the Yureka, and a lot depended on the amount of ambient light the sensor was able to pick up in each shot. For that reason, wider frames worked better than tight close-ups. The flash worked quite well too. Videos came out pretty shaky but otherwise just as good as photos.

Xiaomi Mi 4 vs OnePlus One: Which one is better for you?

The Xiaomi Mi 4 and the OnePlus One are two hottest phones in town. The pricing of both the devices belies the fact that both possess functionality of phones costing twice as much. Both gadgets are also sold in a unique manner online. Therefore, they have garnered a lot of attention and are highly desired.
The bigger problem is choosing between the two. They are so evenly matched in every respect. Hence, we have performed stringent tests on both the devices. Let us see which one is better.

Design

The Xiaomi Mi 4 boasts a metal frame, and a glossy plastic back, which features an exaggerated curve. On the trim, there is an iPhone 5S like chamfer. The build quality of the phone is impeccable, and the phone fits snugly in the palm hence one-handed usage is also possible. The glossy finish on the back feels a little slippery, but overall the phone is great to hold due to the curve on the back.  Even the borders surrounding the screen are extremely small, which means Xiaomi has managed to fit a 5-inch screen in a rather small chassis. However, the design does not feel very original, as it will remind you of the iPhone 5 on some level.
The OnePlus One, on the other hand, is much larger with its 5.5-inch screen. It definitely is a phablet, and one-handed usage is impossible. The bezels surrounding the screen are also larger than the Mi 4, which adds to the size of the phone.  That said the phone features a design that is unique. Internally, the phone features a metal frame, but externally the phone has either a sandpaper like finish or a Lumia like polycarbonate finish. The sandpaper finish feels unique and provides a nice grip. Especially in a country like India where the summers can be sweaty, we feel this finish will come in handy. However, the phone does not look and feel as well built as the Mi 4 despite the unique finish.

Display

Both phones feature a 1080p full HD screen. The big difference between the two phones is the size of the screen. The One Plus One has the larger 5.5-inch screen, which offers 400 pixels per inch. The Mi 4 has a smaller 5-inch screen offering 441 pixels per inch. This means the Mi 4 has a slightly sharper screen.
A closer inspection of both the screens reveals bigger differences. The OnePlus One has a LTPS IPS display, while the Mi 4 has a standard IPS display. Xiaomi claims that the display on the Mi4 showcases 95 per cent of NTSC contrast gamut, and we are inclined to believe this. The display on the Mi 4 is more vibrant and shows punchier colours than the OnePlus One. It also has deeper blacks and is slightly brighter than the OnePlus One.
The display on the Mi 4 is perhaps the most vibrant LCD screen we have come across as it exudes an AMOLED display like quality, but without the pitfalls. It is great for videos, text, and playing games.
We are not discrediting the screen on the OnePlus One, but the Mi 4 is just so much better. In front of the Mi 4, the screen of the OnePlus One appears to be washed out. Its blacks are not as deep, and its colours are not as vibrant.
The OnePlus One only comes on top if you are looking for a large 5.5-inch screen. 

• Winner: Mi 4 

Camera

Both the phones have 13-megapixel cameras with Sony CMOS sensors on their backs. The cameras on both phones have a 6-element lens system; however, the OnePlus One has a f/2.0 aperture, while the Mi 4 has a wider f/1.8 aperture. The OnePlus One has a dual-LED flash, while the Mi 4 has a singular flash, which Xiaomi is calling a chroma flash.
Purely in terms of image quality and ease of use, we found the Mi 4 to be superior. The Mi 4 locks focus on a subject at a blistering pace, so you rarely miss a shot. The OnePlus One takes longer.  Even in terms of image quality, the Mi 4 takes photos that have more detail, and have better contrast. Honestly, in daylight, the difference in detail between both the phones is not much. Additionally, the colours of the images are not bang-on natural. The Mi 4 tends to produce images with high levels of saturation, while the OnePlus One seems to lack contrast and tend be a little faded. This difference becomes exaggerated when the photos a viewed on the displays of both the devices, but when viewed on a large screen, the difference is not very high.
In low light, the Mi 4 pulls away. Images have lesser noise and more detail something, which the camera on the OnePlus One is unable to replicate. Probably, the lower f-stop on the aperture of the Mi 4 helps it to capture better photos in low-light. The OnePlus One at times also had an penchant for overexposing the frame.
The HDR mode on the Mi 4 is also quiet superb. It is better than the one of the OnePlus One. Highlights are more pronounced and overall the time to shoot an HDR is also shorter. On the Mi 4 you also get a live preview of the HDR.
That said, the OnePlus One has some neat tricks of its own. It can shoot images in RAW, something the Mi 4 cannot. In the scheme of things, RAW capability does not offer much to user if he/she wants to share photos on social networks.
In terms of videos, both phones take good videos, which lock focus automatically and are stable with minimal shake. That said, the quality of videos cannot be compared to a phone that has optical image stablisation. In addition to this, on the OnePlus One there is support for 4K video, the Mi4 shoots only 1080p video. We feel the addition of 4K support is not a big deal.
Lastly, the 8-megapixel front camera on the Mi 4 takes better selfies than the 5-megapixel front camera of the OnePlus One. The images are more detailed and are low on noise.

• Winner: Mi 4

Software

While both phones run on Android 4.4 KitKat, the phones are known for the custom Android ROMs they run on. The OnePlus One runs on Cyanogenmod, and the Mi 4 runs on MiUI 6.Cyanogenmod on the OnePlus One looks and feels like stock Android on a Nexus smartphone. However, it offers vastly more customization options. It supports multiple themes, where the user can mix and match elements of different themes and create a completely custom GUI, with different icons, wallpapers, button configurations, and whatnot. Cyanogenmod also allows the user to switch between capacitive hardware buttons and software based virtual buttons.
However, everything is not milk and honey. With the deal between Cyanogen Inc and Micromax for the Yu brand, the Indian version of the OnePlus One will not get an update to next version of Cyanogenmod. The next version of the ROM will be based on Android Lollipop, but instead of that, users will get updated to Oxygen OS, which is a new ROM that OnePlus has built for its phones. OnePlus says that the ROM will be based on Android Lollipop and will offer an interface close to stock Android, but at this stage, there is no telling how good it will be.
The Mi 4 on the other hand features MiUI 6, which offers a colourful user interface that works similar to iOS, but with the advantages of Android. MiUI 6 is very polished and arguably simpler to use.
At the end of the day, both phones have great user interfaces. Depending on how you like your software to work, you will prefer the platforms. If you like a no-nonsense straightforward UI, the MiUI 6 will be your friend as it is simple to use and as Xiaomi takes full responsibility for the software, you will be updated to the next version of the MiUI. Cyanogenmod on the OnePlus One will attract more geeks and is more customizable. It will likely also get the update to Android Lollipop faster than the Mi 4.

Performance

The OnePlus One feels faster than the Mi 4 despite having similar hardware. Both the devices run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, with 3GB RAM. As the OnePlus One mimics animations found on stock Android, in daily operation the phone feels faster. Not that the Mi 4 is a slow phone, the OnePlus One is just slightly faster. In fact, as the Mi 4 has animations similar to the iOS, it gives out the impression of being slightly slower.
In real work usage, these differences count for little. The experience on both the devices is bereft of any lag, and can be described as buttery.
The differences, however, become bigger when you take into account 4G support and internal memory. The OnePlus One trumps the Mi 4 in this area. It supports 4G networks in India, and comes only in a massive 64GB variant. The Mi 4 neither supports 4G in India and comes in a poultry 16GB version of which only around 11GB is available to the user. If you download, a lot of apps and media, both these aspects will be very important and the Mi4 is decidedly inferior in this respect.

• Winner: OnePlus One

Call quality and extras

 

The OnePlus One comes with dual speakers and an extra microphone for noise cancellation, which ensures its call quality and speaker quality is superior to the Mi 4. Now, the difference between the call quality is not massive, but we can say it is minutely better. The dual speakers are a bigger deal because they ensure louder audio playback. The audio quality, however, is similar on both the phones.  The OnePlus One also has NFC support, something the Mi 4 does not have.
The Mi 4 has an extra trick of its own. It adds an IR blaster, which allows the user to control the TV, Set top box, AC, and a few other appliances. In our tests, we managed to control our Samsung HDTV with the IR blaster, but never managed to control the Tata Sky set top box. We even managed to control the AC. The problem is the IR blaster software has not been designed for India per se. LG on the other hand has a wonderful implementation of the IR blaster on its phones, which even easily allows you to control your Tata Sky, Dish TV or even Airtel set top boxes.

Battery Life

In regular usage, both the OnePlus One and the Xiaomi Mi 4 last more than 20 hours on a consistent basis. If you put a gun to our head then we would say perhaps the Mi 4 lasts an hour or so more than the OnePlus One. Both devices have large batteries. The OnePlus One has a massive 3,100mAh battery, while the Mi 4 has a minutely smaller 3,080mAh battery. As the OnePlus One has a bigger 5.5-inch screen, it consumes a little more power. Even the PC mark battery test indicates the same.

Which one is better?

In all honesty, it is a tight call between the OnePlus One and the Xiaomi Mi 4. In terms of core hardware functionality, the Mi 4 comes out on top in terms of display quality, camera quality and build quality. However, if you are looking at the complete package, then the OnePlus One is the one to go for as it adds 4G support, and has significantly more memory. The OnePlus One is also likely to get Android updates faster and in general usage it feels like the faster phone.
But at the same time, the One Plus One also costs Rs.2,000 extra.
If you do not mind the limited memory and the omission of 4G support then the Mi 4 is the better phone. But if you need 4G and is willing to spend Rs.2,000 more for it, One Plus One is the phone for you.

Top Photo Editor Apps for Android

Photo editing on Android is still in the stages where you can do only the most basic edits. However, apps are coming out all the time that add more and more functionality and mobile photographers have more options than ever before when it comes to editing photos on your Android device. In this list we’ll explore the best photo editor apps for Android.

Autodesk Pixlr

[Price: Free]
Autodesk Pixlr is a highly rated and popular photo editor app and one that was highly recommended by our readers. There are a host of editing options including red-eye removal, a whiten teeth option, a one-click enhance tool, borders, filters, and you can even preview effects using the Pixlr Live feature. Of course, there is also the range of basic tools like crop and rotate. It’s a solid editor with a lot of options and it’s from Autodesk, a big name in graphic design.

PicsArt Photo Studio

[Price: Free]
When it comes to photo editing features that focus around things like collages, there are few apps that are better than PicsArt. It does focus primarily on collages and, thus, has a bunch of features for that. However, there are still the basic photo editing things like filters, controls, and adjustments along with some unusual features like finger-painting and stickers. It’s a solid free app and a must-have for collage fans. However, if you’re looking for something a little more in depth, you may want to try
                                   something else.

---

Photo Editor by Aviary

[Price: Free]
Photo Editor by Aviary stands out on our list because it has a slightly more composed set of actual editing features. There are still things like stickers, filters, and the like, but the app has extra tools for editing including things like fixing red-eye, whitening teeth, etc. It’s a fairly solid app overall although it won’t have that appeal for fans of Instagram-style filters as it will for people who want just a good looking photo.

---

Photoshop Touch for phone

[Price: $4.99]
With a name like Photoshop, you expect greatness right? Well, before you get your hopes up too high, you should know that this isn’t nearly as powerful as the desktop application. You can do some of the basic Photoshop things like working with layers. However, It’s mixed in with more conventional mobile photo editing features like filters and mild adjustments like color correction. There are some cool features like camera fill and compatibility with desktop Photoshop using the Adobe Creative Cloud. So if you’re a big fan of Adobe products, this app should be useful.

Shift

[Price: Free / $0.99]
Shift is a newer photo editor that had a rough start but is improving immensely. Most of the issues with the app revolved around its egregious advertising but developers have added a way to get rid of them via in app purchases. Shift is an interesting photo editor because instead of adding pre-made filters, this app lets you make your own filters using a variety of effects and tools that you can then save for later. It’s not nearly as advanced as most of these other editors so don’t go into it expecting too much. For filter fans, it’s a must-try app that can be a lot of fun.
