YU Yutopia vs OnePlus 2: Two giants collide

Week after week, we've seen YU teasing the arrival of the Yutopia smartphone. And most of its teasers involved the company taking the jibe at the OnePlus 2 and its 'flagship killer' status.

The device was officially announced last week and we now have a very good idea of what to expect from the smartphone. More importantly, this gives us a chance to understand whether all those comments that YU made on the OnePlus 2 were actually justified.

So let's take a closer look at the hardware of the two handsets to better understand how they fare in the market.

Both smartphones are exclusive to Amazon India and can be bought without invites. Interestingly, both devices are priced at Rs 24,999, which makes things slightly more complex for OnePlus. As you can see from the specs sheet, the Yutopia has a significantly better hardware specs sheet compared to the OnePlus 2, so it already has an advantage in the market. Considering that both devices are priced in the same range, OnePlus will have to do something drastic to remain competitive in the Indian market.
