Top 5 Issues With Yu Yureka and Why it isn't a perfect smartphone

Yureka a subsidiary brand of Micromax, Creating a lot of stir among the tech markets in India, be it the price, be it the flash sales, Yureka is in the news for a while now. To be frank, even I was one among many who raved about the device, but with the long extended use, all i can say is "Yureka might not be the perfect smartphone you've been looking for" Many users have reported about some serious issues with the device, The issues are simply making the users unhappy about the device,  Let's look at some of the serious issues with Yureka reported 

The Heating Issue: One major issue with Yureka is the excessive heating issue, the device tends to overheat while playing games, browsing, watching videos. The only solution for this problem is to reduce the clock speed of the device while playing or watching. Again two Questions arise, as to why include a powerful processor when it can't be utilized properly, and why a user has to go through all the trouble?

Random Rebooting: Sometimes the device reboots all by itself at random intervals, sometimes while using it and other, while it's kept on sleep. Not sure what is exactly causing this problem, for all i know the overheating of the phone causing the GPU to force shut down. But there can be other reasons as well, A bug in Operating system or internal damage. 

Battery Drain and Poor Battery Calibration: Major requirement for any smartphone user is good battery life, Yu Yureka fails miserably in the battery department. Thanks to the large screen and power hungry processor, Battery on Yureka rarely lasts for a single day. Most times the battery drains even if its in sleep mode. There are some serious battery calibration issues related to the phone. And another major issue is, Phone takes a really long time to charge completely, sometimes it would take 15-20 minutes of time to move from 99% to 100%, that one percent wouldn't matter a lot but, A weird issue

Poor Camera performance: After the battery, most users look at the performance of the camera, in which Yureka fails again, the specs look grand on paper but not in reality. Yureka packs 13mp primary camera with CMOS sensor made by Sony but the shots were washed out with very less amount of details, same goes with video recording, the sound via microphone is not crisp. Camera performance isn't a complete waste, but it isn't the best either.  But a software update might fix the problem. 

Poor Loud Speakers and Sound:  if you are a music lover, I must say Yu Yureka is not for you and does not please you in any way. The loudspeaker volume is very low, and the sound gets completely distorted when raised to the maximum level. Many users have reported that loudspeaker stops working at times and requires a reboot before any sound comes out again. Not just that sometimes the in call speakers also stop working, forcing the users to take calls via loudspeakers.

Pathetic After Sale Support: With These many issues, a general user looks for support from the company to fix the issues, Micromax is well known for its pathetic after sale support and same goes with YU as well. The support team line is always busy and very hard to get in touch with them, but few of them were lucky enough to get in touch and well, we all know what happened there.

Conclusion: Every smartphone has it fare share of drawbacks, and companies should work on them and try to fix them, which will help the reputation in the long run, in Yureka's case there a ray of hope in the form of Cyanagenmod which is known for its seamless work, so let's hope Cyanagen try to fix these issues with Android lollipop update.
