Both are quite powerful smartphones and neither of the two would have any issues in multi-tasking or gaming.

Software

The Asus ZenFone 2 runs on Lollipop, with Asus’s Zen UI on top of it. The Zen UI is a very responsive and easy to use OS, with lot of user friendly features.

The Yu Yutopia too has the much popular Cyanogen 12.1 OS which is based on Android Lollipop. Yu has also armed the Yutopia with special ‘Around Yu’ services, which gives the user the comfort to access services, content and information without downloading the apps or even switching between different apps. The information is placed on the first window of the device and one has to just select the category, like travel or entertainment, for which the information has to be fetched.

Since both the custom UI’s are based on Android Lollipop, we cannot call a winner in this round.

Battery

The Yu Yutopia has a 3000 battery with Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0, and can provide up to 8 hours of or 300 hours of standby.

The Asus Zenfone 2 too has a 3000 mAh battery and it offers decent back up as well. To know more about Zenfone 2’s battery back up, you can click here.

Theoretically though the Zenfone 2 cannot offer better back up than the Yutopia as it has the same battery but comes with a bigger display and hence more power requirement.

Camera

The phone comes with a 13 megapixel rear auto focus camera with dual colour real tone LED flash lights, Laser Auto Focus, F2.0 aperture, PixelMaster image technology, Blue Glass IR filter, selfie mode, panorama, time rewind, Smart Remove, Time Lapse and many more user friendly features.

The Asus ZenFone 2 is a dual-SIM 4G phone with WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS (with GLONASS and A-GPS), and NFC.

The Asus Zenfone 2 is the winner of this round, as it is a dual SIM slot with a different slot for the microSD card, and it also has apart from the regular WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS.

Wrapping Up

The Yu Yutopia with insane display resolution, metal body, a high end processor looks indomitable. But the older Asus ZenFone 2 (ZE551ML – 64 GB) at Rs 22,999 (best price), is not only cheaper but it gives a tough competition to the Yutopia in almost all departments. Infact, in storage and design section, it even looks a bit better.
