Oppo N1 hands-on: First look

23 September 2013
Oppo is starting to make a name for itself in the West with its high-end phones, but the company is now more ambitious than ever – today's Oppo N1 promises an impressive camera takes on the likes of the Xperia Z1 and Lumia 1020...

I am not of the Phablet craze, but, this one had me until it said no SD card.. They should look into that for V2.
As My car got broken into and my 160GB Ipod got stolen, I now transfer a lot of music & video to these devices, I now use my secondary phone as my media device especially for the car(actually found it to be a better option than Ipod I had pre-car-break-in). So this phablet could be a good compromise.
So.. SD Card please or at least a decently priced 64/128GB version.

            harlekkin, 24 Sep 2013What exactly is "innovative" about this phone? No... moreSwivel camera, back touch panel, colorOS's features like opening apps without unlocking you're phone by making gestures on the display. Some of these are actually gonna be useful.

              0.9 sec ..you could do better buildings are underexposed at the back.. and no for longer exposures you dont need to go out of the city (for too bright scenes you close aperture).

              galaxy zoom got 16 sec max exposure...

                  As a former Oppo 5 user i am really disappointed.I think they went a little bit too diverse with this design and too far.I was hoping for a Find 5 replacement,not a 200gr+ thick brick.In comparison the Note 3 168grams at 5.7".Also the cpu is a measly 1.7ghz ,same as HTC 1 ,when the rest of the world top ,flagship premium phones are using snap 800 @ 2.2ghz.I don`t know honestly wether the N1 will capture as many hearts as the Find 5 .I have good taste and usually not wrong about the feel and wants of the consumers.

                                  They are wrong, its HUGE in Asia. Asians are different, we dont put "sporty" or boring photos taken in "nice places" as profile picture which seem to be the big thing in Europe.

                                  Girls tend to take solo selfies while boys dont do that, usually selfies with at least one other person. Selfies is hard when more than 2 persons, a wide FOV cam is desirable, i recommend they rather use a wide angle dedicated front cam with a diffused LED flash for spreading the light, but then the front cam must be of acceptable quality, 3.2mpix minimum, preferably 5mpix and f2.2. Not gonna happen i guess.

Those are good photos for indoor low light on a small sensor, absolutely approved. Im sure it can be further improved by manually lowering the iso and let it use longer exposure, but that would not look great without tripod, an accessory most smartphone users dont often bring along.
