The phone has plenty to offer for its price, and many will be comparing it to the massively popular Xiaomi Redmi 1S. However, the Redmi 2 was recently made official and is about to hit availability in China followed by other regions at a later date. Therefore we thought we’d look at the Micromax Yu Yureka vs. Xiaomi Redmi 2, with the consideration of whether to buy the Yureka now or wait for the new Redmi phone. We’ll delve into the prices of these phones first, as this will play an important factor. The Micromax Yureka price is confirmed at Rs. 8,999, which will probably be a little more expensive than the Redmi 2, but not by too much. The Redmi 2 price for India is unknown at this stage but we do know that it’s priced for China (Hongmi 2) at CNY 699. As a rough guide that’s equivalent to around Rs. 7,100, although of course the price could vary by region and may be a little more than that when it arrives for India. Now we’ll check out the key specs. <div>Processor<div>The Micromax Yu Yureka is powered by a Snapdragon 615 octa-core processor with 4 cores at 1.5GHz and 4 at 1GHz, and it has an Adreno 405 GPU. The Redmi 2 has a 1.2GHz Snapdragon 410 64-bit quad-core processor with Adreno 306 graphics. <div>Display<div>  </div><div>They vary in size quite notably here as the Yureka has a 5.5-inch IPS display with 1280 x 720 resolution and 267 ppi. The Redmi 2 has a 4.7-inch IPS display with resolution of 1280 x 720 resulting in 312 ppi. RAM and Storage The Yu Yureka has 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD to 32GB. The Redmi 2 has 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, also expandable to 32GB.</div><div> <div>Camera set-up</div><div>The Yureka has a 13-megapixel rear camera with autofocus, LED flash and 1080p video capture, as well as a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. The Redmi 2 has an 8-megapixel rear camera, also with autofocus, LED flash and 1080p video recording. It has a 2-megapixel front-facing camera. Battery The Yureka has a removable 2500 mAh battery while the Redmi 2 has a removable 2200 Ah battery. </div><div>ConnectivityBoth phones support 3G, 4G LTE, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, and microUSB 2.0. </div><div>Operating SystemThe Micromax phone runs CyanogenMod 11 OS based on Android 4.4 KitKat. This will be a draw for many potential buyers who enjoy a customizable experience, and it will also receive OTA monthly updates. On the other hand the Redmi 2 is Android 4.4 KitKat-based with the new MIUI 6 version. </div><div>Dimensions and Weight The Micromax Yu Yureka measures 154.8mm x 78mm x 8.8mm but its weight is so far unspecified. The Redmi 2 measures 134mm x 67.2mm x 9.4mm and it weighs in at 133g.</div><div>The specs of the Micromax Yureka are pretty hard to argue with when looking through the above. It’s competitively priced and offers an octa-core processor, larger display, more RAM and storage, a better camera set-up and more. As its price is not likely to be significantly higher than that of the Redmi 2 when it arrives for India, the Yureka is a great choice. </div><div> </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbOba6eYcF1w4Nv2-tmKdXhHiPeKwAroUxUn9vLRnJRtwGDMaAGhbrs2o7_9HpT5iXpT_F44NqZKMR-nVVmrr3QtyFyVsQEYwdMnOzV3qxGU2oEyLce46BNwPtPPup_LCNsI6lxW6nzLc/s1600/10.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbOba6eYcF1w4Nv2-tmKdXhHiPeKwAroUxUn9vLRnJRtwGDMaAGhbrs2o7_9HpT5iXpT_F44NqZKMR-nVVmrr3QtyFyVsQEYwdMnOzV3qxGU2oEyLce46BNwPtPPup_LCNsI6lxW6nzLc/s1600/10.JPG" width="320" /></a>The Redmi 2 is also a decent enough phone though, and although its specs aren’t as impressive it might suit those who prefer a more compact handset. Buyers will also want to consider their preference of design, build quality and after-sales service. On balance we’d say why wait for the Redmi 2 when we don’t yet know when it will launch for India, when the Yu Yureka will be available in just a few more days.</div></div></div></div></div></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div align="center" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;"><ignore_js_op style="word-wrap: break-word;"><img aid="255505" file="data/attachment/forum/201501/09/162938zno1yiiyymyhriay.jpg.thumb.jpg" id="aimg_255505" initialized="true" inpost="1" src="http://en.miui.com/data/attachment/forum/201501/09/162938zno1yiiyymyhriay.jpg.thumb.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; word-wrap: break-word;" zoomfile="data/attachment/forum/201501/09/162938zno1yiiyymyhriay.jpg" /></ignore_js_op></div> On the 4th of January 2015, the all new RedMi 2 was debuted with a smaller chassis, clearer display and more powerful specs. Immediately the talk of the town after it's announcement, people will ask: "How different is the RedMi 2 from it's predecessors, namely RedMi 1 & 1s, in terms of looks and hardware?"  1. Dimensions & Weight <div align="center" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;"><ignore_js_op style="word-wrap: break-word;"><img aid="255496" file="data/attachment/forum/201501/09/162659c47f4k8414af8sky.jpg.thumb.jpg" id="aimg_255496" initialized="true" inpost="1" src="http://en.miui.com/data/attachment/forum/201501/09/162659c47f4k8414af8sky.jpg.thumb.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; word-wrap: break-word;" zoomfile="data/attachment/forum/201501/09/162659c47f4k8414af8sky.jpg" /></ignore_js_op></div> Compared to previous models, the RedMi 2 has a smaller chassis, 134 x 67.2 x 9.4mm as compared to the previous 137 x 69 x 9.9mm, and lighter weight of 133g instead of 158g. On hands experience is much better with the RedMi 2 as it's size and weight are just perfect for gripping and one-handed operations. 2. Back Cover Material <div align="center" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;"><ignore_js_op style="word-wrap: break-word;"><img aid="255497" file="data/attachment/forum/201501/09/162722y212pt692w2uni1n.jpg.thumb.jpg" id="aimg_255497" initialized="true" inpost="1" src="http://en.miui.com/data/attachment/forum/201501/09/162722y212pt692w2uni1n.jpg.thumb.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; word-wrap: break-word;" zoomfile="data/attachment/forum/201501/09/162722y212pt692w2uni1n.jpg" /></ignore_js_op></div> The greatest difference in feel while holding the devices is that RedMi 2 uses a sandpaper texture for it's back cover instead of the high shine glossy one in previous models. This specially treated back cover not only provides a better grip but also helps prevent fingerprint stains. Multi-coloured back covers are also available for purchase. 3. Dual SIM 4G <div align="center" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;"><ignore_js_op style="word-wrap: break-word;"><img aid="255498" file="data/attachment/forum/201501/09/162749d9bratar7x9x7cw7.jpg.thumb.jpg" id="aimg_255498" initialized="true" inpost="1" src="http://en.miui.com/data/attachment/forum/201501/09/162749d9bratar7x9x7cw7.jpg.thumb.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; word-wrap: break-word;" zoomfile="data/attachment/forum/201501/09/162749d9bratar7x9x7cw7.jpg" /></ignore_js_op></div> During the introduction of RedMi phones, its Dual SIM features are widely accepted but was replaced by single SIM slot when RedMi 1S gets a 4G upgrade. In RedMi 2, the Dual SIM feature makes a comeback and supports both TDD-LTE and FDD-LTE with both SIM card slots. 4. Bigger Battery <div align="center" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;"><ignore_js_op style="word-wrap: break-word;"><img aid="255500" file="data/attachment/forum/201501/09/162820t99jer61wchcc61n.jpg.thumb.jpg" id="aimg_255500" initialized="true" inpost="1" src="http://en.miui.com/data/attachment/forum/201501/09/162820t99jer61wchcc61n.jpg.thumb.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; word-wrap: break-word;" zoomfile="data/attachment/forum/201501/09/162820t99jer61wchcc61n.jpg" /></ignore_js_op></div> Thanks to the high efficiency and low power consumption of MIUI, RedMi phones perform extraordinarily in terms of battery life. With the all new RedMi 2, the battery capacity is bumped up by 200mAH to provide an even more impressive battery life. 5. OGS Screen <div align="center" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;"><ignore_js_op style="word-wrap: break-word;"><img aid="255501" file="data/attachment/forum/201501/09/162832e33w999a63pp9i6z.jpg.thumb.jpg" id="aimg_255501" initialized="true" inpost="1" src="http://en.miui.com/data/attachment/forum/201501/09/162832e33w999a63pp9i6z.jpg.thumb.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; word-wrap: break-word;" zoomfile="data/attachment/forum/201501/09/162832e33w999a63pp9i6z.jpg" /></ignore_js_op></div> RedMi 2 utilises the One Glass Solutions technology for it's screen, effectively increasing it's clarity and light permeability. Compared to the RedMi 1 & 1s, the screen shows a deeper and clearer black with the screen turned off besides offering a better contrast while under the sunlight. 6. All New Navigation Buttons <div align="center" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;"><ignore_js_op style="word-wrap: break-word;"><img aid="255499" file="data/attachment/forum/201501/09/162803rjn7wcwjlrr0kw66.jpg.thumb.jpg" id="aimg_255499" initialized="true" inpost="1" src="http://en.miui.com/data/attachment/forum/201501/09/162803rjn7wcwjlrr0kw66.jpg.thumb.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; word-wrap: break-word;" zoomfile="data/attachment/forum/201501/09/162803rjn7wcwjlrr0kw66.jpg" /></ignore_js_op></div> The new navigation button design exists since the Xiaomi Mi4 and RedMi Note, now the RedMi 2 uses the same design that is not only simpler but also more aesthetic. 7. Upgraded Front Facing Camera <div align="center" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;"><ignore_js_op style="word-wrap: break-word;"><img aid="255502" file="data/attachment/forum/201501/09/162852t3pz54zupntof147.jpg.thumb.jpg" id="aimg_255502" initialized="true" inpost="1" src="http://en.miui.com/data/attachment/forum/201501/09/162852t3pz54zupntof147.jpg.thumb.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; word-wrap: break-word;" zoomfile="data/attachment/forum/201501/09/162852t3pz54zupntof147.jpg" /></ignore_js_op></div> To satisfy the needs of many for taking better selfies, the front facing camera of RedMi 2 is improved to a 2MP unit with the second generation 36 stage Smart Beautification that beautifies selfies according to age and gender, producing better selfies. 8. 64-bit CPU <div align="center" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;"><ignore_js_op style="word-wrap: break-word;"><img aid="255503" file="data/attachment/forum/201501/09/162915ygr5847uoggdd5bj.jpg.thumb.jpg" id="aimg_255503" initialized="true" inpost="1" src="http://en.miui.com/data/attachment/forum/201501/09/162915ygr5847uoggdd5bj.jpg.thumb.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; word-wrap: break-word;" zoomfile="data/attachment/forum/201501/09/162915ygr5847uoggdd5bj.jpg" /></ignore_js_op></div> RedMi 2 uses a brand new 64-bit capable Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 MSM8916 based on Cortex A53 architectures that provides 50% more processing speed and power. 9. MIUI 6 <div align="center" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;"><ignore_js_op style="word-wrap: break-word;"><img aid="255504" file="data/attachment/forum/201501/09/162933cu3rnkowzu9kba6a.jpg.thumb.jpg" id="aimg_255504" initialized="true" inpost="1" src="http://en.miui.com/data/attachment/forum/201501/09/162933cu3rnkowzu9kba6a.jpg.thumb.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; word-wrap: break-word;" zoomfile="data/attachment/forum/201501/09/162933cu3rnkowzu9kba6a.jpg" /></ignore_js_op></div> The one aspect that determines the usability and vibrancy of the RedMi 2, is the MIUI 6 ROM that runs at it's very heart. Compared to MIUI 5 in previous RedMi phones, MIUI 6 on RedMi 2 provides a flatter and simpler user interface with better optimizations.
