When it comes to brands that sell their phones mainly online, Xiaomi and yu are among the most prominent in the Indian market. Both brands have built a following on a simple principle - serve up a lot in terms of value at a relatively low price. So if you are looking for a phone in a budget of about Rs 12,500-13,000, it is hardly surprising that both brands have devices in that range - Xiaomi has the Redmi Note 3 while yu has the Yunicorn. But which one should you opt for? We try to figure that out for you.

Looks

These are two phones that are a blend of metal and glass. But there the similarity ends. While the Redmi Note 3 has a more curve-y design, the yunicorn is slightly more boxy with its straight sides. The Note 3 is incredibly compact and lighter than the yunicorn but we are giving this round to the yu device for its brushed metal back and chamfered sides which cut a smarter figure.

Winner: YU Yunicorn
