Last year's Oppo N1 had a unique 206-degree swivel camera. However, what it also had was a huge 5.9-inch screen and a huge footprint considering the camera module was fixed above the display. Oppo realised the need for a mini version of this phone and recently announced the N1 Mini, which has a 5-inch screen instead and a watered-down specifications list. The swivel camera is carried forward to this phone and looks as intriguing as ever. We got to play with the smaller (or is it really?) N1 to form our opinions about the device. Read on.
The smaller version of Oppo’s N1, the N1 Mini, has the same design which is characterised by the unique 13-megapixel swivel camera that can function as both the front and rear camera. The camera can capture some really good pictures in both regular light and low-light. However, quite frankly, the Chinese smartphone company is charging a premium for this innovation as the rest of the specifications are decidedly mid-range.
