SummaryThe Oppo N1 screams style right from the packaging itself.
The personal technology market, especially smartphones, has become so lucrative that everyone wants to have its piece of the pie. Everyday, we hear about some new company joining the fray. One such is the Chinese firm Oppo, which recently launched their flagship product, the Oppo N1 phablet, in India with much glamour and blitz.
The Oppo N1 screams style right from the packaging itself. The handset comes inside a white jewellery box-like casing, which doesn�t feel flashy but extremely stylish.

The screen is made up of Gorilla Glass 3, which should provide respite from ordinary scratches.
The N1 is powered by a 1.7 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 quad-core processor with Adreno 320 GPU and 2GB RAM. Obviously with such raw power, the device gave butter-smooth user experience. Continuous multitasking with Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Chrome and a few games like Subway Surfer and Temple Run did not give any lags whatsoever. I could play a space-guzzler like Asphalt 8 without any glitch. Watching videos were also great, with stunning picture quality.
