Sounds like any other flagship smartphone, right?  The Oppo N1 has some very neat tricks that no other major smartphone manufacturer has yet. A rotating camera at the top of the N1 can lock into any position and take those shots. That does mean that there is a single 13mp shooter catering to both the front and rear cams. The camera has a 13-megapixel CMOS sensor at a size of 1/3.06. It has a wide aperture of f/2.0 allowing you take some great photos in low light.

 

Another feature that no other manufacturer has thought of coming up with is that the Oppo N1 has a touch sensitive back. Given that its a device that is by no means small, this might be a much needed detail. This will allow you to carry out a number of gestures such as scrolling, tapping and taking pictures.

Running Android 4.2 but a modified CyanogenMod version the N1 is running a very capable and powerful version of Android that is very versatile.
