OPPO N1 Mini Experience: a well-deserved and regrettable

.

Oppo last year launched a 6-inch large-screen mobile phone N1, the product with a rotating camera was once sought after. But since the 6-inch N1 is too big for most people, the market's expectation of the N1 Mini is taken for granted.

Let's take a look at some details of the N1 mini relative to N1:

Exterior design

> power button to the left side of the fuselage, the card groove to the right side of the fuselage

> Border also from N1 metal to plastic, also because of this, the border edge can be processed into gold, more than N1 look more pleasing to some

> Light N1 Mini only one (N1 two PCs)

> Bottom Speaker to honeycomb

> Remove back Touch control area

Hardware configuration

> N1 Mini adopts 骁丽 (N1 is 骁丽 Dragon 600)

> N1 Mini Screen 720P (N1 1080P)

The OPPO N1 Mini can be viewed as the original proportional scaling version of N1, but there are some small details that are different. N1 Mini power button set on the left side of the fuselage, volume key on the right side, especially for the left hand grip, for the right-handed friends, just start will feel unaccustomed. N1 Mini Feel good, matte matte surface treatment, moderate thickness (9.2mm/n1 9mm), for the hands of small still hold people, double-click the Wake up screen to join, also appear thoughtful enough.

Have Netizen will question CPU use 骁丽 Dragon 400 N1 mini will be Kaka, I here still want to clarify, N1 the actual operation of the Mini is still very fluent, the machine has no mishap. However, in line with the principle of rationality, the product sight before or to say a few small regrets:

1. Display screen in the resolution of 5 720P, display the effect of some particles are inevitable, if the display is picky, or accustomed to the retina screen, the impression of the N1 Mini is still due to the display effect and reduce points

2.ColorOS in the gesture operation has a good innovation, but there are still some "silly big" details: such as the fuselage upper right corner of the time and power percentage, by too close and font/size consistent so easy to confuse

3. Automatic Brightness adjustment mode screen brightness fluctuation. In addition to the often said between the bright environment and dim environment Switch between the brightness adjustment can not be adjusted in time and accurately, even in the light of the environment does not change the situation, I read a long microblog process, the screen will be flickering two or three times, really annoying, but also damage the N1 mini as a smart device dignity

4. Since the camera can be rotated, the distance sensor will also follow the camera to rotate, so there is always a point of view so that the phone is mistaken for distance sensor occlusion, in addition, I have found three times, N1 mini in the backpack automatically started the flashlight function

Although I am dissatisfied with the N1 mini rotating camera to a certain angle, it will flip the frame to the front camera interface, but I have to admit that the camera still brings a lot of fun to the camera, and that the original design is similar to the rotatable window.

The most suitable seat for a portrait

In the use of the process I also found that the N1 and N1 mini in the camera flip the occasion for the portrait, which is more suitable for shooting portrait, especially the whole body photo. This is not difficult to understand why Oppo will N1 propaganda video on the creation of a male goddess of the plot.

The position is lower, can take "big long leg" effect

Conclusion: There is still a bit of regret in reaching the expectation

OPPO N1 Mini is a mobile phone that is very close to the needs of users. For example, smaller size and good grip, as well as the idea of rotating camera, even the glove mode and double-click the Wake up screen This function also can be added to the OPPO's intentions, in addition, compared with N1, N1 The mini doesn't disappoint me in sound quality.

The only regret of the

N1 Mini is that, in order to N1 with the product compartment, it does not have a real small size of the flagship product parameters, 骁丽 400 and 5-inch 720P resolution may still be a bit of regret, Although Oppo is already doing better from UI design to product workmanship, whether it is enough to prop up the brand premium that Oppo expects of its products, I am somewhat worried.
