The question that anyone would ask is what is unique on the YU Yunique 2 handset and the answer is the word unique, with a ‘Y’. Well as for the hardware performance, camera and battery life it is all just about average nothing great.

The YU Yunique 2 camera does well in good light conditions but in low light it fails to impress. Camera quality is average. Moreover this hardware can only record in max 720p resolution. Video quality is decent and selfie camera is okay.
