One of the main limitations of the OPPO R1 was the fact that it had rather outdated hardware with the most notable missing tech spec being 4G LTE support. OPPO has seen fit to change this by announcing the OPPO R1S. This refreshed smartphone retains the same look and feel as the OPPO R1 but refreshes the tech specs and hardware with a 1.6GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, 2GB of RAM and a 13MP rear camera, replacing the Mediatek processor, 1GB of RAM and 8MP rear camera of the OPPO R1. Set for a China release date on 25 April 2014, we expect it to be priced higher than the RM1298 the OPPO R1 is priced at in Malaysia. It also marks the sign of things to come, perhaps with more 4G LTE enabled OPPO devices like the OPPO N1S perhaps. No news on Malaysia release dates or pricing just yet but stay tuned and we'll keep you posted.
