The Yu Yureka Plus is a successor to the earlier iteration of the handset which was released in January 2015 and priced at Rs 8999. The Rs 1000 difference is accounted for by a full HD screen, as opposed to the previous 720p, and a better rear camera of the same resolution, but equipped with a 5-element Largan Blue lens and Sony IMX214 sensor.

The 4G-enabled dual-SIM Yureka Plus is otherwise the same device as before. Its display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and measures 5.5 inches. Under the hood, a 2500mAh battery with standby time of 210 hours and a 64-bit 1.5GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor power the phone. Memory capabilities consist of 16GB of ROM and 2GB of RAM.

A 5MP fixed-focus front lens takes care of selfies and a LED flash-accompanied 13MP autofocus main snapper records video at 1080p. The Yu handset contains Android 5.0.2 Lollipop-based Cyanogen 12. On the connectivity front, the smartphone has Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi, microUSB 2.0 and A-GPS.
