Yu Televentures launched its second phone, the Yu Yuphoria earlier today. The phone brings a few features which are fairly new to the budget smartphone segment. Since we have the phone with us, lets take a quick look at what it is all about.

Let's start with the front; the smartphone has a 5-inch 720p IPS display.

Overall, the Yu Yuphoria looks to be a respectable competitor in the budget segment, but how well does it stack up against the competition? You'll have to wait for our full review for that answer.
