The little brother of the Oppo N1 is here. We take a look at what it's like and how it stacks up against the competition.
The Oppo N1 mini was showed off at an event in New Delhi yesterday. The N1 mini is not only a smaller version of the Oppo N1 in just size, it cuts down on processing power as well. With a price tag of Rs. 26,990 Oppo is asking too much for too little of a phone. The N1 mini does come with the peculiar rotating 13 MP camera which takes good pictures and which could provide some great selfies.
The screen has been shrunk to 5 inches with a 1280 x 720p resolution. The processor has also been downgraded from the 1.7 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 quad-core processor on the N1 to a 1.6 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 quad-core processor. The camera quality on the N1 mini has been slightly improved from the original Oppo N1.
In terms of design, the profile and the basics have been kept the same and the whole device now weighs 150gms. The Oppo N1 mini also supports the O-click accessory which lets you click pictures remotely. Besides that, the 2GB RAM and 16GB internal memory has been kept the same as on the N1. The battery has also shrunk, thanks to the smaller size of the phone, to one with a rating of 2140 mAh, which Oppo claims will last a day of use.
It will be interesting to see how Oppo and its phones stack up against competing companies like Xiaomi who have upped the ante. All in all if you aren’t in a “how many processors would fit in my phone" race and are looking for robust build quality in a phone which might be the best one available for taking selfies, the Oppo N1 mini could be the phone for you. The company touts that the phone can take pictures in 24 MP ultra HD mode which we will surely check when we get the N1 mini for a full review.
