Talking about the highlight of the device, the camera department. Oppo N1 comes with a 13-megapixel camera that can rotate up to 206 degrees, and can lock at any angle. The swivel camera features a dual-LED flash and since it is rotatable it eliminates the need for front-facing camera. The 13-megapixel camera also means the video-calling and selfies would be great. Another interesting highlight of the Opp N1 is a small touch-sensitive area at the back, called O-Touch, that can perform a few limited functions with the help of gestures. If you are worried about accidental activation, you can always disable it through the settings. Oppo also has introduced O-Click, an accessory to remotely control the phone for certain tasks by pairing it with Bluetooth. The device weighs 213 grams and reads a dimension of 170.7×82.6x9mm.
