It does tick the boxes in terms of specs – the rear camera is of 13.0 megapixels and is a Sony IMX 135 CMOS sensor, with a F/2.2 aperture, and is made using the five piece Largan Blue Lens Architecture. The front is a 5.0-megapixel affair. But all this is just so much jargon. How do those cameras actually perform? Well, we gave them both a go, sticking to auto mode.

Conclusion
All said and done, the Yureka is a steady rather than spectacular shooter. It is a quick camera and thanks to Cyanogen, lets you do a fair bit with the images you shoot. Colors are realistic and detail is decent. In terms of image quality, we would put it a slight notch below the Asus ZenFone 5 and the Redmi Note 3G, but well above the Lumia 535 and 530 and the Moto G (yes, even the 2nd Generation in good light conditions). It also bests the ZenFone 5 in terms of speed. It does tend to fade out a bit in low light conditions, but even so, at Rs 8,999, the Yureka does enough to make itself one of the better smartphone cameras in its price band.
