YU Yureka S Specs: 3GB RAM, 13MP camera
As far as the hardware is concerned, Yu Yureka S breathes from a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 quad-core processor humbly clocked at 1.1GHz and paired with 3GB of RAM and 405 Adreno GPU. Users also get 16GB internal memory. The camera specs are 13MP primary camera with f/2.2 aperture and a 5MP secondary camera with an 84-degree wide-angle lens and f/2.2 aperture. Both the cameras are capable of shooting 1080p videos at 30fps.
Besides these, Yu Yureka S also comes with Wolfson Pure Sound and Yamaha Amplifier which are aimed at delivering an enhanced audio experience. The device runs on the almost two generations back Android 5.1.1 Lollipop with its AROUND YU skin on top. The UI is simple and is very close to the stock Android experience with a few tweaks, and this makes the overall user experience a lot more fun.
The dual-SIM device comes with a Hybrid SIM card tray that can take either a dual-SIM setup or a combination of a single SIM and microSD card.
