Reasons Not To Buy the Yureka Black
Snapdragon 430
The Yureka Black comes with the underpowered Snapdragon 430. The Redmi Note 4, priced close to the device comes with the Snapdragon 625 processor. Yu should have used a more power processor. It could have used the 625, Snapdragon 650 found in the Redmi Note 3 or the newly launched Snapdragon 660. Even though the device comes with 4 GB RAM, heavy games and multitasking may be an issue on the device.
Battery
The Yu Yureka Black comes with a 3,000 mAh battery. This seems like a compromise when devices such as the Redmi 4, Redmi Note 4, that are priced similarly, come with a much bigger battery. While a 5 inch display will reduce the battery consumption, a 3,000 mAh battery still seems small.
