Yu Ace:
Such a sleek design in budget section is uncommon, but this
phone branded by YU is of no match in looks. Its 5.45 inches HD+ (1440 x
720p) display under curvy edges imparts premium and polished design to YU
Ace. Under that display, Mediatek MT6739WW (28nm) Quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53
chipset and PowerVR GE8100 GPU play major role in its smooth
working. Although we can’t expect high end performance from this device, but
normal operations are well performed by its processor. Its 13MP Back Camera
with Auto focus Feature and Front Camera (5MP) with LED flash
can capture life’s best moment with a click. 2GB/3GB and 16GB/32GB
internal memory (expandable up to 128GB) variants are enough for sound
performance while huge 4000mAh battery fuels the device. Secure your
device with rear Fingerprint Scanner and with help of Face Unlock
