was Yureka a failed product that lead to the release of Yureka Plus?

so Hello guys I just realised the Yureka Plus was out and the production of Yureka stopped, maybe this was due to the poor camera and sensor issue that Yureka was facing, that lead to Yureka Plus release.

I don't think so

IMHO, I don't think so. Yureka was a hit and I'm not saying it jsut for the sake of being a Yureka user but because it is, just look at the total number of "Yureka users" on the official forums and you'll get an idea. As for the poor Camera and Proximity sensor issue, I think they have already been taken care of. I never faced any of those issues and for the ones who did, Yu released an incremental update taking care of that.
Now the updates, that are pushed on to the devices have an inbuilt tool to calibrate your sensor, you play god in every aspect except that the customization options on Yureka's CM11 or CM12 are kind of less when compared to those of One Plus One. As for Yureka Plus, upgrading the Camera and resolution looked like a sensible thing to do. The only con that Yureka has is it's battery life, and having said that there's nothing been done to improve that in the upcoming version of the device. An increased battery life for the cost of another 500 - 1000 bucks would have just been as amazing as it sounds.
Rest assured, the device was a hit and the success story will be continued with the upcoming model of the phone. There were people who whined and there will be some who will but that's not gonna stop people from buying and appreciating a fine device that is light on their wallets and fits in their budget.

Yureka Plus... Is it upto the mark??

Actually I am a pro user of its ancestor Yureka. But I decided to get one more and this time It was the successor Yu Yureka Plus. Whats new was just a gimmick the sony IMX214 sensor would just tie with the older sensor of Yureka which I found to be more satisfactory in results. Regarding the full hd screen yureka plus stands out with a 10/10. But the successor do have its flaws. Detailed below: Compared to "The Zeus" Yureka running on CM 12s LRX22G
1. Poor battery performance
2. Heating Issue Persistent
3. Choppy UI
These being the few that I have discovered since I used the new Yureka Plus for over a week of time. But speaking of Yureka I did address some sound issues(crackling) when playing music while connected to mobile data connection which I did not find in the Plus.
Verdict: Yureka being a good niche in my development work with a few tweaks and mods. Yureka Plus is good on screen rest all is a gimmick.
YU is just playing to outrun its competitors by disguising re-branded Chinese phones. Courtesy see the manufacturing details when you buy this new phone.

Yureka has more rom and kernals compared to Yureka +

Zuk Z2 or Zuk Z2 Pro

Hey guys,
I'm trying to decide on whether to buy the Zuk Z2 (5'' Screen) for $225 or Zuk Z2 Pro (5.2" Screen) for $280. Is the only significant difference the RAM and storage capacity? I hear that the cameras are different too but each comparison chart doesn't show any differences.
Any responses would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
David

Z2 pro has more sensors, like baro sensor. However , it seems that Z2 has more roms than pro

of course Z2 Pro is better. but the Z2 Pro has only few roms.

Not worth the higher price, I reckon

Its huuuuugggeeee!

Just love the way our great developers have been supporting this device after it was literally left to die in the dark by Lenovo.

While the hype is all on One plus and Poco phones, our Zuk 2 plus is an amazing underdog. It's almost three years and the support we get from developers is way amazing. I won't be surprised even if the development support ends in coming years ; it has enough of its days.
Zuk 2 plus will live as one of the best phone ever created by lenovo ?.
A very Big thanks to all the DEVELOPERS for their HARD WORK. Bless you all.

To be sure, it was an accident on Lenovo's part. No thanks to them at all, the device not only survives, but thrives. Android 10 ROMs, even in beta stages, run smooth as butter. Don't number its days yet, I believe the Z2 plus will continue to recieve developer support, in one way or the other, until Android 12. Or so I can hope, and as long as they do, I have no reason to change phones. This is my first smartphone, and it looks like it will last 5 years with ease, with perhaps a battery replacement in a year from now.

ZUK Z2 is great phone
The ZUK Z2 was a good cell phone, but now present someone problems. The most important (for me) is the overheating. For example, when play PUGB the ZUK Z2 it gets really hot. Also happened when i'm browsing or chatting. I haven't no idea, I think battery may be the problem, in a one moment la batería se descarga a nivel de segundos, y la carga era muy lenta. It was solved when you turn off the chance of chance and I turned it again.
Do they have any idea?

Camera Quality Check.

Hi all. Just purchased a Lenovo Z2 plus.
1) But found camera is not too impressive. In spite of relevant features of snapdragon 820 regarding the camera features, it seems that the camera performance doesn't reach expectations at that level. Find the attachments regarding features of SD 820 regarding camera.
2) On official listing of devices that use SD 820 in Qualcomm website: https://www.qualcomm.com/products/s...yNDU5MTpuYW1lJTIyOiU1QiUyMjgyMCUyMiU1RCU3RA==
It seems that this device is not listed. Can anuone give a clarity about this!!!

Maybe you misunderstood what the Processor has to do with the camera.
The things you have read there is only what the SD820 supports.
The Z2 does not have all of these features since its up to the OEM, aka ZUK.

is lenovo z2 plus worth buying?

i'm planning to buy a phone to keep for atleast 2 years., and i got 3 options. MiA1,Redmi Note 4 and Lenovo z2 plus . The primary requirement are battery life,reliable performance and decent camera. Due to it's powerful processor i thought of giving z2 plus a shot. therefore my questions are how is the battery life really? i'm not a gamer and i mostly browse web. I heard that the camera lens of z2 plus is plastic and scratches easily and is lenovo providing any software updates as of now ? because updates like Airtel VOLTE is much important for me if i'm going to use my phone for 2 years .

Go for mia1(good camera) and z2+(performance)

First of all, to clarify, the camera lens on ZUK Z2 Plus is glass and not plastic, and matches the decent-level requirement you have. So you should definitely consider buying it over Mi A1 due to its superior processing power.

you sure it's glass? since the lens on mine has micro scratches everywhere, although it's not as bad as some sony xperia lens

I am using Z2 Plus and I would agree, MiA1 has much better camera but it's priced higher at present compare to Z2 Plus.
Given the price of Z2 Plus, it's a steal deal if you can compromise with night or low light photography since under daylight, Z2 Plus camera works just fine.
The main attraction of Z2 Plus is the SoC. Nothing comes close to SD820+4GB combo unless you spend at least 3 times more to get the nearest 800 series competition.

Go with A1. That's all i will say. I have Z2 and my sister has A1. The performance difference is really negligible between 625 with clean android build and 820 with crap OS.

I have the same 'problem' but between MiA1 and Zuk Z2 (the normal one, not the plus).
I don't know which buy but I like the 5'' of the Zuk

I've Z2. And if it gets bricked. I would buy it again. It's all a matter of priorities. If you use camera like 15 Pictures Daily, don't but this phone. But if you want to own Flagship grade specs, feel how fast is 2.1 GHz and how much is 4GB RAM, know how fluid Android Experience can get, then buy ZUK.
Since you posted your question here, you'll come to the difference between 625 & 820.

Well I think both models have the same processor, I don't really now which buy, Z2, Z2 plus or Mi A1

Just buy zuk z2.
Then unlock bootloader and flash any oreo rom with hdr+ enabled.
That ll solve your camera problem.
Camera is nt everything. Performance also matters.
And snap 820>>> 625

MiA1 very good camera avg battery
Redmi Note 4 jack of all, master of none, but good battery capacity
Lenovo z2 plus master of all minus low light camera and 5inch if you like,
you will have to use custom roms for updates and better performance at low budget you will get this.
so choose between priorities

Used RN4 first, it lacked the performance and camera. But had an awesome SOT 11HRS.
Then my friend's MiA1 for a week. The camera was awesome but battery was meh and performance was okayish.
Now rocking z2 plus, awesome performance with sub-par camera.
