Oppo K1 With Snapdragon 660 SoC, 25MP Selfie Camera Debuts in India for Rs 16,990

After teasing for a while, Oppo India has officially launched the Oppo K1 smartphone with Snapdragon 660 chipset, 25MP selfie camera and an in-display fingerprint scanner for Rs 16,990. The Oppo K1 is the cheapest smartphone in India with an in-display scanner, beating the Vivo V11 Pro which had the crown until now. The Oppo K1 is an online-only smartphone as the company wants to increase its online market share in the Asian sub-continent. The K1 also features the trendy gradient design and comes in two colour options- Piano Black and Astral Blue. Oppo launched the smartphone in only one variant with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, which might be a bummer, but other variants are likely to launch in India very soon.

Oppo K1: Specifications and Features

Diving into the specifications of the Oppo K1, it’s mid-range handset aimed at taking on some of the popular phones such as the Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro, Realme 2 Pro, Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2, Nokia 6.1 Plus and the Xiaomi Mi A2. The phone rocks a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display on the front and the fingerprint scanner is integrated into the display. It’s one of the few smartphones to launch with a Super AMOLED display under Rs 20,000. Oppo also added the Corning Gorilla Glass 5 for scratch protection.

Underneath the Oppo K1, we have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset, paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. As noted, Oppo launched only one variant of the K1 in India. Sadly, the K1 lacks a microSD card for storage expansion. It runs ColorOS 5.2 based on Android 8.1 Oreo which is underwhelming as most of the phones releasing these days are coming with Android 9 Pie out of the box.
