Oppo-At The Forefront Of Innovation Yet Again:
You may remember our review on the Oppo Find 5 earlier this year. It was an excellent product with well defined specs, amazing built quality and all that goodness.
Oppo has taken quite a lot from their experience with the Find 5 and decided to try something with the same motive; so Oppo went ahead and began churning the rumor mill with pictures and features of there new phone the N1 which was very well received among the audience, and when it was released it awed the world. So here is our review on the Oppo N1.
Display:
The Find 5 was the first phone in the market with a full HD display and yes it was just as good as it sounded.
So, Oppo took a hint from the well received screen and slapped on a 5.9 inch (beautiful) Full HD display on the N1 which looks even better than the display on the N1 especially considering the fact that itures a bigger screen. It features 1080x1920 pixels with an average pixel density of 373 ppi which makes the colors just pop on the screen.
Camera:
The camera is the highlight on the N1 for sure. It is a modular camera, which is capable of 206 degree rotation. The camera can be used both as a front facing one and a back facing camera too.
The shots that the camera takes are really good and colors appear lively.
Built:
One of the best and the most distinguishable feature of the N1 lies on the back. If you observe the phone carefully on the back you can see that there is a soft touch square region which acts as a touchpad.Since the N1 is a really big device, one handed usage can be hard, hence Oppo has provided this touch pad for comfortable one handed navigation using your index finger.
It takes a few days to get used to, but after that you begin to feel why other phone manufacturers never adopted this technology.
The N1 weighs in at about 213 g or 7.51 ounces. which is a bit heavy, but come on this is a 5.9 inch phone or phablet; depending on how big your hands are.
Internal Specs:
The chipset running the N1 is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600, which features a Quad-Core 1.7 GHz Krait 300 CPU.
Additional Features:
Oppo has infused certain extra features into the N1 which provide more functionality to this device. An example for this is the O-Click feature.
Operating System:
The N1 runs on Oppo's custom skin, the Color OS which is based on Android 4.2 "JellyBean".
This skin better by leaps and bounds than the skin which was featured in the Find 5 by miles. It looks less chunky and heavy, even though it is in the ballpark of well, heavy and chunky.
Partnership With CyanogenMOD:
Yes, Oppo has partnered with CyanogenMOD, to maybe develop the software on board this phone even though we are not yet clear on this.
Oppo has from the beginning, has supported rooting and installation of custom ROMs. This is made evident from the fact that Oppo doesn't void your warranty in the case that you root your phone.
Memory:
The Oppo N1 is available in 2 variants based on memory that is, 16 and 32 GB which no option for expandable storage.Price, Battery And Colors:
We are unclear on the price of the N1.
The battery onboard is a decent 3610 mAh.
It is available on in white as of now.
Conclusion:
We think that the Oppo N1 has paved the way for smartphone innovation, but this innovation remains larger constricted to markets such as Asia were Oppo doesn't receive enough credibility for its work. It should work to promote its marketing in Western countries so that this type of open mindedness to rooting and innovation is picked up by other manufacturers.You can check out more information about the Oppo N1 at the N1's official page here.
So that's our review on the Oppo N1.
