Back in early 2000s when the mobile phone market was booming with handsets from top dogs like Nokia, Samsung and various other comapnies, the chinese market had its own share. The chinese had their own Java phones like every other company did but kept the price and quality as low as possible.
As a result, the chinese makers were branded "Cheap". Fast forward to the present, Oppo a company from the far east is now making a name for itself in the west. Oppo was the world's first company to ever make a 1080p mobile phone display when it itroduced it back in 2012 with Oppo Find 5. Now, Oppo has released another flagship, The Oppo N1. Read on to find out what makes this device stand out. As unique as its design, Oppo N1 has a 13MP swivel camera that makes every smartphone stare itself in the mirror. Oppo N1 has a redesigned casing that's aluminium which the company claims to have taken 20 days for its manufacturing. The N1 comes with a 5.9 inch FULL HD 1920 x 1080p IPS LCD diplsay and Android 4.2.2 heavily skinned with Oppo's Color OS.

The phone is prepped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 600 snapdragon chipset clocked at 1.7GHz of the Quad core variety, 2GB RAM and Adreno 320 GPU. A fairly beasty internals we might add. The N1 makes every other smartphone jealous in the camera department which features a 13MP Swivel camera (first introduced by Nokia in one of its N series) meaning it twists 206 degrees so taking a sneek shot won't be a problem. The camera is the first ever to feature a 6 lens design in an Android device besides Nokia's current flagship Lumia 1020 (check out the review here - http://goo.gl/xalKA1). The N1 shoots 13MP photos with an f/2.0 lens and take shots with a maximum of 8 seconds of shutter speed where as the Lumia 1020 maxes out at 4 seconds. The camera also features dual LED flash so taking selfies with the lower power flash will produce very natural skin tones.
When it finally comes down to battery size, the N1 shines bright with a 3610 mAH battery that should last more than a day of heavy to moderate usage. Bluetooth 4.0, USB 2.0 and USB OTG also come included. One thing I almost forgot to mention is that fact that N1 comes with an invisible touchpad at the back which makes single handed use very easy. Scrolling through web pages, homescreens and through out the UI should be pretty easy and convenient. Another thing thats included in the box is an O-click remote which takes pictures without you even touching the phone. The O-click can also be used as a phone finder via Bluetooth which ranges out at 50 meters and you can even use it as a keychain. All these features are very well priced at $570 (Rs. 35000 approx) and the O-click remote comes with the box. Watch the video below and comment at the bottom to let us know what you think.
