Oppo N1
Most people are not paying close enough attention to the Android ROM scene to notice the drama surrounding Cyanogen Inc. This for-profit company was founded by members of the CyanogenMod team with the goal of making and selling CyanogenMod-equipped devices. The first phone on that list comes from Oppo in the form of the newly announced N1.
Many American consumers aren’t familiar with the Chinese OEM Oppo, but the company has earned high praise for its recent unlocked devices. The N1 will be sold with your choice of Oppo’s custom Android UI, or pure CyanogenMod (as a special edition). There will even be an option to flash a stable build of Cyanogen when you first boot the standard Oppo N1.
This is a high end device that does have some unusual features. The screen is a 5.9-inch 1080p LCD, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600, and 2GB of RAM. The 13MP camera sensor rotates all the way around to face front so you can take super-high quality selfies. There is also a back touchpad for scrolling without touching the screen.
The Oppo N1 does not have LTE as announced, so it’s just HSPA+ for this device. It should be out in November or December. The conversion from Chinese Yuan is $570. Past Oppo flagships have sold for about $500 unlocked, so that’s a safe bet this time around.
