OPPO’s smartphones usually try and offer something new to their consumers. The company’s F-series of smartphones tend to offer something special for selfie lovers, while the new Find X smartphone featured a motorised camera setup to offer a screen to body ratio of 93.8%. With its new K-series of smartphones, OPPO aims to offer premium technology at a more affordable price. This includes features like an in-display fingerprint scanner, AMOLED display, 25MP front camera, and more.
The OPPO K1 is priced at Rs 16,990 and can be purchased from February 12 via Flipkart. Customers interested in buying the phone can avail some very interesting offers. Those who make the purchase can avail a 90% buyback value for a period of eight months. On top of this, customers can also avail an additional bank discount of Rs 1,690 when using a Citi Bank Card.
Here’s a quick round up of some of the features you get with the smartphone.
Most flagship smartphones have either switched to the in-display fingerprint sensor, or are expected to make the switch later this year. The reasons for this are pretty straightforward. It allows users to enjoy a having a display on the front of the phone, without sacrificing screen real estate. Further, it leads to a cleaner design since there is no separate bump on the body to accommodate the sensor. The fact that the OPPO K1 brings the technology at such a price point is pretty impressive.
AMOLED displays are usually attributed to more premium devices. These displays are thinner, and offer more vibrant colours as compared to LCD displays used by most phones in this price range. The OPPO K1 offers a 6.41-inch AMOLED display, so more people will be able to enjoy a larger screen with deeper blacks and vibrant colours.
OPPO’s smartphones are known to offer impressive front facing cameras and the OPPO K1 is no different. The device offers a 25MP front snapper with AI. The company notes that the phone is able to track 296 feature points on the user’s face and then apply its beauty algorithms to help take better selfies.
The OPPO K1 is available in two colour variants, Piano Black and Astral Blue. While the Piano Black variant offers a more subtle look, the Astral Blue version should turn heads with its gradient finish that changes from Blue to Purple. The company notes that is done thanks to a nano-scale IMT 3D injection molding process.
As one can see, the OPPO K1 is offering a set of features that one doesn’t usually expect from a smartphone at this price range. In fact, it is currently the only smartphone to offer an in-display fingerprint sensor for less than Rs 20,000. With such features, the OPPO K1 makes for a pretty interesting choice for anyone looking for a feature rich phone at a reasonable price.
