It has been an amazing year that saw many incredible phones, loaded with features which were never imagined the year before. The year 2015 not only saw technology getting cheaper but it saw many new innovations as well.

Such was the competition that every week we saw close to a dozen smartphone launches, but only a handful devices stood out from the crowd.

Don't forget to leave your comment below even if you don't concur with our choice and ofcourse do tell us what is your favourite phone/phones of this year.

Yu Yureka
The first month of 2015 saw a big bang release in the form of Yu, a subsidiary of Micromax, which launched the Yureka. In our view, Yu couldn't have a better beginning. Priced very low, the Yu Yureka introduced the Cyanogen OS to the budget segment users and was expectedly a blockbuster till it was phased out towards the middle of the year. It broke flash sale records and was always in the top 5 pick of every analyst.

The reason was quite obvious ofcourse. It was armed with a 5.5 inch IPS display that offered 267 ppi pixel density. A 64-bit quad-core 1.5 GHz processor and 2 GB RAM (which was rarity then) powered the phone. With internal memory of 16 GB and a 32 GB micro-SD card slot, it was also quite attractive in the storage segment. Besides, the Yu Yureka offered 13 megapixel auto focus primary camera with a Sony Exmor R sensor, 5 megapixel front camera, dual-SIM, 4G, WiFi, Bluetooth, and a 2500 mAh battery.
