State-of-the-art APUs in today’s smartphones are the pinnacle of the system-on-chip (“SoC”) movement that began in the nineties. Integration has always been central to the microelectronics business. Combining the various functionality offered in multiple discrete integrated circuits became a natural evolution that would reduce component count and circuit board complexity leading to a system cost reduction – good for consumers and handset maker profit margins alike.
It's easy to think that Chinese smartphone makers are thriving solely on sales of ultra-cheap devices, but that's only partly true. In many cases, they're striking careful balances between features and pricing -- handsets like the Vivo X3 tout sleek designs and big screens, but their modest processing power keeps costs in check. Oppo wants to bring that high-value philosophy to the rest of the world through the international version of the R819. For $349, it's an exceptionally thin phone with perks you don't always get at this price, including dual SIM slots and better support for custom firmware. However, it faces stiff competition from new rivals like the Moto G and Nexus 5. Is the R819 still worth buying when it's not the fastest or cheapest in the pack? That's what we're here to find out.
The O-Click includes a find my phone feature, where tapping the O-Click button twice rings your N1. Of course, this will only work if your O-Click and N1 are within Bluetooth range of one another, which is about 25-30 feet. The O-Click is prepared to help tackle that Bluetooth range issue by making the N1 ring if the O-Click is about to get out of range. This is particularly useful if you’re absent minded with Goophone S4 smartphone while out in public, it’s a nice security feature. And lastly, the O-Click acts as a remote camera shutter, which is very useful for taking group photos or highly unique selfies.
Speaking of selfies, let’s talk about the most unique feature of the Oppo N1, the 13 megapixel camera that has a f/2.0, 6-element lens, dual LED flashes, and the entire camera rotates over 206 degrees going from rear shooter to front facing camera in an instant. Oppo put the N1 through vigorous testing, passing a 100,000 time rotation test. That means you can rotate the N1’s camera 40 times a day for 7 years, making the movable part quite reassuring that it won’t easily break.
