Oppo announces the N1 - a 5.9-inch phablet with a very interesting camera

Oppo n1

So Oppo has finally unveiled the N1 phablet. It has a 5.9-inch 1080p display and a quite cool 13 megapixel camera solution. The camera can be rotated and work as both a front and back camera. That’s a first.

Another cool thing is that you can choose to have CyanogenMod[1] pre-installed.

I think Oppo[2] has a very interesting product in the N1, and I think it will succeed. Especially with a price around $570 dollar for the 16GB version.

The most interesting is probably the 13MP camera, which sits on a case-mounted hinge and rotates to serve as both the rear and front cameras.

The camera will activate upon rotation, and the 206-degree rotation axis has been stress-tested for 100,000 uses.
