It also sports Gorilla Glass 3 for protection.
Much like Yureka, the Yureka Plus runs on a 64-bit octa-core Snapdragon 615 SoC (MSM8939) clocked at 1.5GHz, coupled with Adreno 405 GPU, and 2GB of RAM. The Yu Yureka Plus sports a 13-megapixel autofocus camera with an LED flash. A front-facing 5-megapixel fixed-focus camera is also on board.
