Just a day ago, we published an article in which Oppo was talked about the possibility of launching a new mid-range device in India. This device was OPO K1 which was first released in the Chinese market in September 2018. One day later, we have some kind of confirmation that the new device that OPPO started on Flipkart is actually OPPO K1.

Oppo K1: The story so far

The Oppo K1, launched in India, will be the first K Series device of Oppo, which will be launched here. The company has so far focused on R-Series, F-Series and A-Series phones in India. Oppo K1 was first launched in October 2018 in Oppo's home market, China. The phone was introduced as an affordable device with an in-display fingerprint scanner at the time of launch in China. When launched in India, the price of Oppo K1 is likely to be around 20,000 INR or below its mark, which will definitely make the cheapest handset with an on-screen fingerprint reader. Let us now check the remaining specifications of the device

Oppo K1: Specifications and FEATURES

The Oppo K1 offers a 6.4-inch display larger, which is most likely to be in the IPS LCD panel. There are some websites that talk about whether it is the AMOLED panel. It will be effective if Oppo manages to receive an AMOLED panel on a sub-INR 20K device. The display has a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels in 19.5: 9 aspect ratios.

Oppo K1 will feature powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC, which tags 8-core CPUs and uses the Adreno 512 GPU for graphics. In China, the Oppo K1 comes in 4GB RAM + 64GB version and a pricier 6GN RAM + 64GB version, both versions do not have MicroSD card slots. At this point, it is not clear whether the variants of India will be offered in equal storage options. The handset color runs on OS 5.2, which is the Android 8.1 Oreo Core. The phone has a 3,600 mAh battery which lets it easily offer battery life throughout the day.

The Oppo K1 has a dual camera set on the rear side with a 16-megapixel primary camera and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. The front-facing camera is capable of capturing 25-megapixel images. There will also be many AI modes enabled by Snapdragon 660 chipset in the camera.
