NEW DELHI: Oppo has launched yet another chic handset in China, called R1C after launching the super-slim R5 and the flagship N3.
First reported by Gizmo China, the Oppo R1C features a shiny sapphire glass panel, which makes the back almost mirror-like. It has a metal frame on the sides, which completes the premium look.
According to the news site, the Oppo R1C features a 5-inch, 720p display and will be powered by a 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor with 2GB of RAM. It comes with 16GB of built-in storage, which can be further boosted up to 128GB with an external memory card. For taking photos and videos, there’s a 5MP front camera and 13MP rear camera. The rear camera uses Sony IMX214 lens, with a f/2.0 aperture. Unlike the N1 and N3, there’s no rotating or motarised-camera feature in this Oppo phone.
Compared to the R5, the Oppo R1C is slightly thicker at 6.85mm. The R1C comes with dual-SIM support and can also connect to 4G networks. It packs a 2420mAh battery and runs on the Android 4.4-based Colour OS 2.0.1 operating system. The R1C is priced at 2499 Chinese Yuan that translates to around Rs 25,000 in India. This would make it slightly cheaper than the R5, which is currently priced at Rs 29,999.
