At the back you can see the YU branding and a 13MP camera with a Sony Exmor sensor and special blue-filter to get better tones in your pictures.

Even though it has a 5.5-inch display, Micromax chose to give the Yureka capacitive navigation buttons instead on on-screen ones

The volume rocker is housed on the left and the overall thickness of the device is decent. It is defintely quite large for one hand operation, but it feels quite good in the hand and doesn't feel slippery

Thanks to Cyanongen, you get the CM11 ROM like on the OnePlus One and of course you get options to add CM themes to customize the smartphone UI

The power button sits on the right edge and is quite easy to reach

The back is made of soft plastic although it has a nice matte finish, which the company calls the 'moon-stone' finish
