Oppo, a Chinese smartphone maker has today entered into the Indian market. At an event in Delhi, the company launched its latest N1 smartphone at a hefty price tag of Rs. 39,999. The price is pretty high and thus, one can't ignore but compare the latest device with the likes of Nokia Lumia 1520, LG's G2, iPhone 5C and other high end smartphones that have been launched in India so far.

One of the mind-boggling fact is that the device which costs about Rs. 40,000 comes with an older SoC from Qualcomm. The company could have atleast offered Snapdragon 800 instead of the 600. Another would be Android version used by the handset. Again, here the company could have atleast offered KitKat. Moreover, the company should have chosen to launch the smartphone with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean OS and later updated it to KitKat.

However, since the device has already been launched now, GizBot has come up with a number of devices that could possibly be the rival for the latest Oppo newbie, at least in the Indian market. But before going ahead with that, take a look at the specs of the Oppo N1 smartphone.

Oppo N1 comes with a full HD 5.9 inch display offering a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and delivers a stunning 377 pixels per inch pixel density.

Powering the handset is a 1.7 GHz Snapdragon 600 quad core processor with Adreno 320 GPU coupled with 2 GB of RAM. It runs on Oppo's home made Color OS, which is built on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.

The internal storage is not expandable and customers can buy the handset in two variants: 16 GB and 32 GB models.

Moving on to the camera section, there is a 13 MP CMOS sensor camera (from Sony) which features 6 lenses stacked over one another. The wide Aperture f/2.0 camera is supported by Fujitsu IPS imaging chip. Also add a Dual LED flash. The camera, which can be rotated up to 180 degrees can be used to take super-high quality selfies. And upon rotating the camera hinge, also activates the camera.

Connectivity options include NFC and DLNA, 3G and WiFi. Apart from that, the area under the camera is touch sensitive and thus it has been named as O Touch. You can use this O Touch to play music or browse web.

The smartphone will be powered by a 3610 mAh battery.
