Quoting from Indian Express Review. May help you to compare these two. Credits to the original reviewer.
Yu Yureka has managed to deliver a slightly better spec sheet, good looks and other goodies with Cyanogen at Rs 1000 less than the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G.
Yu Yureka wins: 1.5GHz octa-core 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 CPU, CyanogenMod 11S based on Android 4.4 OS, dual SIM, light weight (155 grams), back cover with moonstoon finishing
Redmi Note 4G wins: 3100 mAh battery
Display battle: Both the smartphones sport a 5.5-inch 720p screen with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. The display quality of both the devices are equally good at the sub Rs 10,000 price range. The Yureka offers better one-handed operability.
Design battle: Yureka wins it. The device looks better than the Redmi Note 4G. Redmi Note 4G bulky (199 grams) and a bit too plasticky.
Online service: Yu Yureka is offering a sort of online after sales service. Users can get someone to pick their Yureka from their doorsteps and then get it delivered after servicing. The pick and drop of device is complimentary. Xiaomi users will have to visit service centres.
The Redmi Note 4G is powered by a 3100mAh battery while the Yureka is powered by a 2500mAh battery. Yureka sports two SIM card slots while the Redmi Note has one. Both supports 4G connectivity.
Both the smartphones come with a 13MP auto focus rear camera and a 5MP front camera.
Both the smartphones are based on Android 4.4 KitKat OS. If you want an easy-to-use UI then the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G is recommended. Cyanogen (in Yureka) is dedicated to those who like to customise everything and make the smartphone really personal.
I have used Maicromax devices and I must say they provide good service.
These are advantages of Micromax Yu Yureka
Use multiple SIMS at the same time. It allows you to use two services without the need to carry two devices at the same time.
More cores result in better parallelism, meaning more tasks can be processed in parallel without slowing down the User Interface.
Around 7% slimmer than Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G. Slimmer devices are easier to carry in a pocket and look more fashionable.
Around 100% more inbuilt memory than Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G. More memory allows you to store more songs, videos, photos and install more applications.
Hi
I'm currently using a Nexus 5, on stock android 5.1. I'm starting to have a few problems with it, the GPS is slow at best, battery life just gets me through the day, and i'm running low on space at 16Gb.
In my job I have been given a Windows phone for work, What i'd like to do is buy a Dual-Sim device so I can go back to carrying 1 device. I've been looking around and been quite impressed with the chinese offerings. The top phone on my list are the -
Ulefone Touch Be 2
Elephone P8000 (unable to post links)
So far, The features i'm looking for are dual sim (obviously) good camera, expandable storage & good GPS.
There are so many phones to choose from these days im just not sure what to choose.
Thanks In advance.

You can try one plus two 64gb.
Its the best. 25,000 rs. Better than nexus

Before you buy a Ulefone, Elephone, Umi ... or any of these cheap Chinese brands. Please be aware that they do not optimize their Android OS!
This means, you may get worse performance as you had on your Nexus 5. I would say before you buy one of these brands, stick to your old Nexus 5.
If you want a good quality phone with optimized Android Rom on it, that offers good performance with a pretty good camera.
Get one of the following barnds only!
Oppo
Huawei
Xiaomi
Meizu
What is your budged btw? If a good camera is important to you, really stay away of not optimized Anrdoid!
All other small Chinese brands, put truly crappy not optimized Android on their devices!

That's a good price range, to start from.
You could check out the best prices if you want to at: kimovil . com
within this price range you could get, all of the following are dual sim:
Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 (only oppomart has it in stock right now) ~150$
Xaomi Mi4i ~220$
Asus ZenFone 2 ZE551ML ~200$
Asus ZenFone 2 ZE551ML ~260$
Meizu M2 Note 16GB ~150$
Huawei P8 Lite ~250$
I didn't list the following brand, but it's still a decent device:
Jiayu S3 (3GB version) ~180$
ZTE Nubia Z9 mini ~250$
The listed phones are just examples. All of them have their own downs and ups.
Meizu and Xiaomi are heavy skinned Android phones, they might remind you to iOS. I love my Xiaomi Mi4i, but it´s not for everyone.
I do assume that after using the true stock Android of your Nexus 5, you might want to stick to a phone that gets at least to close to stock Android.
So if you want the normal Android, you would have to go for the Asus Zenfone or the Huawei P8 Lite.
The Asus is more powerful but might not get an update, because it features an Intel SoC. The Huawei on the other hand has a weak SoC compared to the ASUS Zenfone 2.
It comes down to what you prefer, what would you use the phone for?
Do you want stock Android, do you want a phone that is at least as good as your Nexus 5 is, or are you willing to compromise just to have dual sim phone?
Within the price range of 200$ to 250$ there is a lot of good stuff to choose from.
That's some great info, thanks for taking the time to help me out. I was hoping someone in the know would be able to shed some light on this for me. I've been looking for a few weeks.
The idea is to replace my current personnel Nexus 5 and works Windows Lumia 635 (Rubbish), so thats what the Dual Sim is needed for. Then I like to use it to take photos on when I'm out with family and travelling for work, Im reasonably satisfied with the Nexus's camera so I'm not looking for a DSLR replacement but something competent. Then when I travel I use it for GPS to get around in Europe and the US. Next is to play music in the car so expandable storage for music and apps. 4G connectivity. Then for work emails etc. i think thats it really.
regarding good GPS signal you would have to stay to Qualcomm or Intel SoC's, those devices paired with a good brand are a save call.
For what you do the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 16GB chinese Version with dual sim and micro SD Card should be good enough. It's a big 5.5 inch phone.
It has the MIUI7 on it, it will be a completely different Android experience. There are no reviews about the GPS quality and the phone uses a fast MTK SoC, it is hard to say how good it is, usually Xiaomi places really good antennas in their phone, but as of now there is no review of it.
The battery is average ~3000mhA thing, paired with the Octa Core it will last for a day and maybe a bit more, should be better than the Nexus 5.
Advantage: it's cheap, it's Xiaomi so great quality with great support.
Downside: it has MIUI7 on it a very heavy Android modification.
You could get it for about 150$ from many different pages or straight from oppomart a bit more expensive.
The Asus Zenfone both version the 2GB/4GB is really good specification wise. The 4GB Ram version is just overkill, in my opinion.
The build quality is good, the performance is great. The only downside would be the battery life and the camera, neither is horrible bad.
GPS should be fine.
You could get the 2GB Version from pandawill for 210$ and the 4GB is at gerabest for 240$
Worth mentioning, not all dual sim phones support the full speed on both slots, as of now only the Xiaomi Mi4i has 4G net on both sim card slots!
The Redmi Note 2 and the Asus Zenfone 2 are 5.5" devices
If you want a pretty nice powerful device without a micro SD card extension, at 5" you could consider to get the Xiaomi Mi4i, the only downside of it is that a optical camera stabilization is missing. I don't see this as a problem, as I do make loads of pictures and it rarely bothers me, but it is worth to be mentioned.
I'm pretty sure i looked at the Redmi Note 2 previously, but didn't think it support expandable storage so dismissed it.
I understand most only support 4G on 1 sim this is fine. Also the size of 5.5 although is a little bigger than the Nexus I'm fine with it but would be the limit.
I also looked at the Zenphone but the camera put me off.

The Chinese 16GB Version has a microSD extension slot you just have to find one. I read on gearbest that they sell this version with 16GB and microSD slot, but it's hard to say if they provide the right information.
If you don't need the extra performance, the Zenfone might be the wrong phone.
You could also consider the Jiayu S3 3GB Version (or Jiayu S3 Advanced), some people like the phone! It is available for about 180$
It's a really good all-rounder with amazing GPS and a pretty good camera
Search on youtube for a review of the Jiayu S3 by ITXtutor, it should cover all you want to know about the phone.
If i could push the budget to $300 what could you recommend? Im from the UK too.
Meizu MX5? Just found out no SD and the 32gb is closer to $400..

Haha yeah I would have recommended the MX5, I had the MX4 Pro for a bit and that was an awesome phone! But yeah the 32GB Version retails for about 390$
The Lenovo Vibe Shot Z90, has only a SD 615, an awesome camera dual Sim and a SD Card Slot. the 32GB is around 300$.
At leats in my Xiaomi Mi4i I have no trouble with this SoC, in daily use it doesn't get hot or anything, I am not a gamer so it's a great SoC for my needs.
The Huawei P8 Lite ships with the same SoC for 240$, it's worth a thought too. I would probably go for this one. The only downside I know about is the screen brightness, it could be better and I am not sure if it has Android 5 by now.

Could you recommend where to purchase the Lenovo Vibe from? its not on oppomart.
Ive been looking at the one+two and i think that is the phone i really want.. the OS is more what I'm used to the hardware is up there, the only downside i can see would be the price for the 64gb model. Im going to see if I can purchase via my work and if need be pay some towards it.

yes that is the best thing to do!
There are two version of the Vibe Shot the Z90-3 and Z90-7, the -7 is more expensive, but supports the right bands to be used outside of japan/china!
aliexpress would have the Z90-7 for 330$, but it's always a bit risky to buy from aliexpress

Can I access google play/google services on this phone if I purchase and use it in China?
I know my GF's phone cannot install google play store app (Huawei Ascend Y511).

yes there are a lot of threads about this topic in the official Xiaomi MIUI Forum. Link: en.miui.com
Have a look there and you will find all you need to know
If they release the device globally or in India, it will get a ROM with google installed per default. Xiaomi makes no difference between their devices.
Rom download page: http://en.miui.com/download
Like I have the Indian/global version of the Xiaomi Mi4i and can install the official Chinese ROM or the global ROM, as I like.
Would you recommend any 5inch phones in the $150 dollar region?
5.5 is just a little too big for me.
Hi all, my iPhone 4S is really old and I am getting sick of the small screen of it. So I want to try an Android smartphone with big display this time. The display size should be at least 5.5-inch (6.0-inch will be cool). And the price of it should be around $100, not over $120.
In my daily life, I use the phone to watch movie a lot, that's why I need the screen to be a big one. Besides, I want it has a durable battery life, strong WiFi signal and not overheated.
Do you have any good recommendation of it? Welcome to leave your comment and I will be appreciated for it.

Friend, i think Vkworld T1 plus is suitable for you ,it is on sale in AliExpress . Vkworld T1 plus has 4300mAh Sony Li-Polymer Battery,2GB RAM+16GB ROM,6-inch screen, magical VR Box, it must be a personal Home Theater. You can search "Vkworld T1 plus " in AliExpress.

They are the best deal. If you don't know 1st two brand then just know that they are currently ruling online retail sites in India. All three have fingerprint sensor, powerful CPU, decent GPU and one even has IR sensor. Personally I'd pick Redmi Note 3, Go for 32GB version as it has got 3GB ram unlike 16GB with 2GB RAM.

The new Lenovo k6 power is also a good mobile to buy. It gives good features and value for money.
It depends on what do you want in a smartphone ?
If you want the best Android experience, the Google Pixel and the OnePlus 3T are the best
If you want the best screen : Galaxy S7/S7 edge
If you want the best photos : Google Pixel
If you want the best GPU performances : Any phone with Snapdragon 821 SoC (I advise OnePlus 3T)
If you want the best CPU performances : Any Snapdragon 821, or the galaxy S7/S7 edge, or even the lastest iPhones if you have money to waste
If you want the best battery, the Xiaomi phones are doing great job (Redmi 3, Mi5s+, Redmi 3 pro, Redmi 3S, Mi Max, Mi Mix, etc) but they are not the only one, many phones have a great battery
For less than $200, I would advise a xiaomi phone powered by a snapdragon 650, for example the Xiaomi redmi note 3, note 3S, note 3 Pro
They are AWESOME for this price and they have one of the best battery life with nice performances

**DEVICE SUGGESTION THREAD** -- Not sure what device to buy? Ask here!
Thread Closed
I am gonna buy a smartphone but I'm confused which one to buy.i cannot able to decide which one to buy redmi 6 or honor 7s. As this both device's are having mediatek process with great spec.so I like to know which one is better. searching on Google didn't help me much.so I like to know which one is better.thanks in advance.
I think you go for Redmi 6. It has better specs and therefore expensive too. I have Honor Play 7 (Chinese version of Honor 7S). It's a beautifully built device with more screen to body ratio and adequate quad core processor and RAM. Redmi 6, of course has octa core stuff and 4 GB of RAM and more internal storage. So, comparing these two isn't a big deal.
Cheers.
For this Price range, I would take a mi A1 or A2 lite.
