The Chinese company Oppo unveiled its announced more than a month ago "photographic" smartphone. Unfortunately, Oppo N1, contrary to expectations, has no interchangeable lenses - but instead it offers something different.
Oppo N1 camera lens is movable. They put it in the rotating, top part of the phone, along with LEDs providing light. With this solution, the camera can also replace the front camera - making it probably the best camera for self-portraits and video calling on the market. The camera has a 13 -megapixel CMOS sensor and dual LED, and the lens is f/2.0.

The rotating camera is not the only unusual patent used in this model. On the back of the phone there is placed an extra touch panel, allowing for example to scroll through web pages on the main screen, without your fingers blocking the display. This makes one-hand operation more convenient. The manufacturer has also announced the release of a series of additional lenses which connect to the phone wirelessly (like Sony) and O-Click which is a kind of remote control for your phone. It helps you locate your smartphone releasing its tone, it can also control the camera.

It's still not the end of the Chinese innovation. Oppo installed on its N1 its own company OS Color system, which is based on Android 4.2, but on the request of the purchaser it can also preinstall (without loss of warranty!) CyanogenMod. The Chinese icing on the cake is a battery with a capacity of 3610 mAh... which is larger than that of competitors.

Apart from that Oppo N1 already presented more simply, it does not mean that bad. It has on board a 1.7 GHz Snapdragon 600 processor, Adreno 320 graphics and 2GB of RAM , a 5.9 -inch display has a Full HD resolution. The only somewhat disappointing part is the built-in memory, amounting to 16 or 32 GB. Everything has "Chinese" or fairly low price. 3500 yuan gives 570 dollars. With this price an "unbranded " origin of the phone stops bothering me... And you?
