14 DAY TRIAL // Today, Chinese mobile phone maker Oppo announced the N1, its latest flagship smartphone, which will arrive on shelves with a wide range of appealing features and capabilities packed inside.
This is the first device included in the company’s N-Lens flagship series, packed with a large screen, rotating camera, rear touch panel, and an appealing design.
The main selling point of the new handset will be its 13-megapixel camera, which can be rotated 206 degrees, and which also sports six physical lenses, an upgraded type 1/3.06 imaging module, and f/2.0 wide aperture.
The camera also comes with a special light-diffusing LED flash design, and can boot from sleeping mode in only 0.6 seconds via a simple 120° rotation.
Oppo N1 also boasts a 5.9-inch IPS display capable of delivering a 1080p Full HD resolution, as well as a 1.7 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor inside.
The large touchscreen is complemented by a 12 cm2 rear touch panel called O-Touch, which was designed to facilitate one-handed operations on the device. It enables users to easily scroll, tap, or snap photos.
Furthermore, the new mobile phone comes with 2GB of RAM and 16GB / 32GB of internal memory. It also sports Adreno 320 graphics and a 3610mAh battery for longer usage times.
The smartphone was unveiled with 5G Wi-Fi 802.11 ac connectivity, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi Display, GPS receiver, and USB OTG. Additionally, it comes with Distance sensor, Light sensor, G-sensor, and 4D Gyroscope.
Announced with support for GSM: 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900MHz and WCDMA: 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100MHz networks, Oppo N1 measures 170.7 x 82.6 x 9 mm, weighs 213 grams, and comes dressed up in White.
The handset will start shipping in early December with Oppo’s own Color OS platform loaded on top (based on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean). The phone will arrive on the international market with the option to flash CyanogenMod directly from stock recovery.
On top of that, Oppo announced that it would release a limited Oppo N1 CyanogenMod Edition with the popular Android software pre-installed right from the start. Thus, it will become the first CyanogenMod hardware product in the world.
In addition to N1, those who purchase the device will receive the O-Click Bluetooth remote in the package, so as to be able to operate the N1 camera from a distance. O-Click connects to the handset via Bluetooth LE and can interact with it from a range of up to 50 meters.
