$599 or €449 for oversized phone with rotating camera and CM support
As expected, the Oppo N1 has today gone on sale in the United States and Europe, where prices for the 16GB model start at $599 and €449 respectively — rising to $649 and €479 for the 32GB version. The latest high-end handset from the Chinese manufacturer, the N1 sports a 5.9-inch 1080p display, a rotating 13-megapixel camera for all your high-res selfie needs, and a 1.7GHz Snapdragon 600 processor with 2GB of RAM. Powering the phone is a capacious 3,610mAh battery.
Connectivity-wise, the N1 includes pentaband HSPA+ support up to 42Mbps as well as Bluetooth, NFC and Wifi Direct — though you’ll be missing out on LTE support, putting the device at a significant disadvantage for Western buyers.
The Oppo N1 ships with the manufacturer’s ColorOS software, based on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, but buyers will be easily switch to officially-supported CyanogenMod as an alternative OS — that’s currently marked as “coming soon” on Oppo’s site. (It’s not to be confused with the limited run of “CM edition” N1s that run the community firmware out of the box.)
So it’s fairly expensive and lacking in connectivity options compared to the competition, but there’s no doubt that the N1 is a unique piece of technology. If you’re picking one up today, shout out in the comments.
