There are a lot of things to like about the YU Yutopia, such as its all metal build and smooth performance. However, it can be a bit of a mixed bag, and we do have our share of niggles – with the key ones being the iffy touchscreen and fingerprint...

The YU Yutopia smartphone launched in India in December, and it's a high-end flagship that is generating a huge amount of interest. It's YU's most expensive smartphone so far, so if you're considering purchasing this device you might want to take a...

“The Yutopia's shooters may be a mixed bag, but should suffice for casual photography”Carrying ostentatious tags such as “the world's most powerful smartphone” and “the beast” among others, the new YU Yutopia (unboxing and first impressions) certainly...

The Yu Yutopia is certainly not a bad effort at all as the first-time flagship. The smartphone has some great qualities like 2K display, a very good build quality and finish, quick charging, great multimedia and service integration. The 2K display...

So is this really the most powerful phone on the planet? Well, not really. We aren't saying it is a bad phone. For a company that is just one year old, Yu Televentures have designed a good looking phone with top of the line internal specifications. But...

The Yutopia is certainly a good first premium effort from Yu but it's far from the utopian smartphone that the company envisioned. Simply cramming in top-end components to fit a desired budget doesn't necessarily guarantee the best product. The Yutopia...

The 21-megapixel rear camera has a Sony Exmor RS IMX230 sensor, true-tone dual-LED flash, a 5P lens, and optical image stabilisation. However, in our limited time with it, we found that the rear camera was not up to the mark. In a well-lit room and...
