So these were the major differences between Yu Yureka and Lenovo A7000. And you can clearly see that Yureka is always a step forward to A7000. And frankly speaking, I do not like the UI of A7000. Hence, Yureka is the best smartphone here.

Lenovo has pitted it's A7000 against the Yu Yureka from Micromax. Given the fact that Yureka has set higher standards for the price segment, it would be interesting to compare the two competing devices.

Design -
The A7000 continues to have the same look as on A6000. The matte finish on back panel gives it a premium look. While Yureka is the most good looking device in the price range.
A7000 is a bit lighter than the Yureka. It is a bit slimmer too.

A7000: 152.6 x 76.2 x 8 mm (6.01 x 3.00 x 0.31 in) 140 g
Yu Yureka: 154.8 x 78 x 8.8 mm 155 g
So, it would be a matter of personal preferences here.

Performance and Hardware -
Yureka is a clear winner in this segment. It has the best in class processor. A7000 has a octacore processor just like on Yureka which may be a plus point for it. But A7000 has lesser internal memory in comparison to Yureka. This may go against it.
