After much speculation, Oppo has finally launched the N1 Mini in India, which is the smaller version of the popular N1 phablet by the Chinese electronics firm. The biggest USP of the smartphone is its 13MP rotating camera with Sony IMX214 stacked CMOS sensor, Â f/2.0 aperture and LED Flash. The rotating feature makes the only camera present in the device double up as the selfie camera.
Additionally, one can also purchase O-Click – the remote control that lets you remotely click images on the Oppo N1 Mini. O-Click is free with the N1 but Oppo seems to have used a cost cutting measure for the N1 Mini. Oppo seems to be targeting the young generation in India which wants to have all the features of a high-end smartphone without splurging a lot.
“We strive to give users what they really look for. OPPO N1 Mini stems from this philosophy of ours. It brings to users the unique design and technology for which the OPPO N1 won a lot of accolades, but in a sleeker and more compact body. For OPPO, a fusion of technology and affection has always been the essence of our product design and development. We believe that today’s youth will find OPPO N1 Mini as a device that is Mini in size and max in fun,†said OPPO India CEO Tom Lu during the launch of Oppo N1 Mini here.
