With its N1, Oppo hopes the light from its large 5.9" screen acts as a beacon, luring consumers to the company's phablet on a global scale. But, simply making a phone bigger isn't enough. For the N1 to join the phablet elite, it needs a stylish appearance...
It's a shame, because the N1 surprised us as one of the strongest performers in many areas.But when getting hold of one isn't easy either – you have to go online and buy it SIM-free – we have to dock it a star, despite a valiant effort from a very promisi...

Great HDR camera, Great battery life, Clever gesture, based shortcuts
Pointless rear touch panel, Poor front touch buttons, Busy notifications area
It's a solid, thin and powerful phone with a great camera. And most importantly, the Oppo N1 beats the opposition in terms of price. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 costs around £450 to buy unlocked outside of a contract, whereas the Oppo N1 is relatively chea...
Chinese smartphone newcomer Oppo doesn’t have the reputation of an Apple, Samsung or HTC just yet, but it certainly doesn’t have any problems acquiring similar parts to the big boys: the Oppo N1 is a powerhouse of a phone, with an absolutely dazzling 5.9-inch 1080p full HD screen - one of the best we’ve seen, as well as the biggest - and a quad-core 1.7GHz processor that whizzes along as snappily
The Oppo N1’s hardware is excellent, on paper. In the flesh, it’s all a bit impractical. We’re all for large screen phablets, but the N1 suffers from the very same problem as the HTC One Max: that too much of its bulk isn’t the display. The top and bottom bezels are simply enormous, and as a result, it’s substantially bigger than rivals like the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 even though there’s a differe
We’re all for new competitors in the smartphone arms race, but they face an uphill challenge breaking in when the likes of Google and Motorola have gotten so, so good at offering flagship phones at low low prices. As such, it’s hard to justify the high...

No 4G, Non-expandable storage, Heavy - even for a phablet
This mobile maverick breaks all the right rules. Zany but still elegant hardware coupled with the most open and customisable Android software on the planet - it makes for a very tempting combination indeed. This kooky, clever phablet is the best big pho...

Affordable, comfortable in hand, rotational camera with decent image quality, good battery life, 1080p screen quality and decent viewing angles, easy CyanogenMod install
It is huge and quite heavy, ill-responsive Android soft keys, positioning for call quality, not top-spec processor, no LTE not stock Android may put off some customers
Of all the phones we've handled we've never been approached by so many members of the public and fellow press to ask about what we're using. From restaurants, to casinos, to conferences - the Oppo N1 caught peoples' eyes and stood out as the differe...
It is a solid performer with a very innovative camera, but all said and done, one cannot help but feel that at Rs 26,990, the Oppo N1 Mini is a bit of an expensive proposition, especially in a market that is getting used to devices that offer high-end spe...

13mp front cam with dual flash concept is awesome, goodlooking UI
Too bulky
The Oppo N1 is a combination of beauty and innovation. The design and build quality is very premium. The rotatable camera, the O Touch and O Click are some of the features very unique to this phone. The UI is pretty smooth and its beauty will not let you ...
