The OPPO N1 Mini has finally landed in Malaysia featuring a smaller 5-inch display with the same 13MP camera on a rotateable hinge. OPPO Malaysia are offering the smaller version of the OPPO N1 at RM1398. Other tech specs and features for the OPPO N1 Mini include a 1.6gHz Snapdragon 400 processor, 2GB RAM, 16GB storage, 5-inch display with 720p pixel resolution, 4G LTE connectivitiy and a smaller 2140 mAh battery. Other features include the PureImage 2.0 imaging engine from the OPPO Find 7, providing options such as 32-second Slow Shutter, Beautification 4.0, Hand Held Night Shoot, HD Picture and SUper Zoom. The HD Picture is particularly interesting as it lets you take six images that can be combined into a 24MP image with sharper overall details. The OPPO N1 Mini is also available in Cool Mint and White but is just available in Peninsula Malaysia for now.

After having revealed their OPPO Find 7 and Find 7a flagship smartphones, OPPO Malaysia has been relatively quiet, perhaps because they've been working on new things. These new devices could include the OPPO N1 mini (which was recently announced in China) and the OPPO R1L. Both smartphones were recently found in SIRIM's database as the OPPO N5116 for the N1 Mini and the OPPO R8006 for the OPPO R1L. Tech specs for the two smartphones are quite similar but the more notable features for the two include 4G LTE connectivity, a feature which wasn't available in OPPO's first wave of smartphones for Malaysia.

Joining the recently announced OPPO N1 mini is a still unnamed smartphone announced as the OPPO R6007. Featuring a 4.7-inch display with just 720 x 1280 pixel resolution, the shape looks similar enough to the OPPO Find 7 to come to the conclusion that it may be the OPPO Find 7 mini. Other tech specs include a 1.6GHz Snapdragon 400 processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB storage, 8MP rear camera with LED flash, 2MP front camera and a 2140 mAh battery. It will also support 4G LTE and run on the latest colorOS 1.4. Measuring in at 127 x 68 x 7.75mm and weighing 128g, the R6007 will be available in China from 3 June 2014 for 1799CNY (RM926). No news on Malaysia release dates or pricing but stay tuned and we'll keep you posted.

After a few weeks of leaked images and rumours, we can finally confirm that the OPPO N1 mini is both real and officially announced. Featuring a slightly smaller 5-inch display and only a single LED flash, the smartphone retains the same 13MP camera with f/2.0 aperture and rotateable hinge as the OPPO N1. However, it brings a number of new innovations that the former flagship OPPO N1 did not, and this includes 4G LTE connectivity, Color OS 1.4 and an extra feature that may allow it to capture 24MP images (something like the OPPO Find 7's 50MP image capture). Unfortunately we can't confirm other tech specs and features yet apart from the facts that it weighs 150g and will be available in China on 11 June 2014. No Malaysia release dates or pricing just yet but stay tuned as it is only a matter of time before OPPO makes another reveal, either in Malaysia or at the upcoming Computex Taiwan 2014.

While the original OPPO N1 only came in white, new images of the OPPO N1 mini suggest that the smaller 5-inch display version could come in pastel blue, yellow and pink. So far, the images confirm that the new OPPO N1 mini will retain the same rotateable 13MP camera but will only a single LED flash. Other tech specs and features have yet to be confirmed but rumours indicate that it could have an octa-core processor either from MediaTek or Samsung Exynos and that there will 3G and 4G LTE versions. As usual, take such rumours with some salt but so far, the images look to be real so stay tuned for more developments.

We reported earlier on rumours that OPPO was currently working on an OPPO N1 mini smartphone, complete with rotateable hinge, just like the main OPPO N1 smartphone. Apparently, this is almost confirmed as it has appeared at the FCC in the US complete with tech specs and features. True to earlier rumours, the OPPO N1 mini offers a slightly smaller 5-inch display with 720 x 1280 pixel resolution as opposed to the 5.9-inch Full HD 1080p display on the OPPO N1. Other downgrades include a smaller 2140 mAh battery but thankfully, it appears that the OPPO N1 mini will offer the same 13MP camera sensor on a rotateable swing as before. The only difference for the camera is the dual-LED flash which is now just one LED. We can't confirm it yet but it also looks like it won't have the O-touch rear touchpad and the backside looks to be shiny plastic instead of ceramic like before. Other notable tech specs includes 4G LTE support, which was missing in the original OPPO N1. No Malaysia pricing or release dates just yet but stay tuned for more information.

While OPPO have already announced their flagship smartphone with the OPPO Find 7, they are currently refreshing their existing range of devices including the recent 4G LTE enabled OPPO R1s. Therefore, a new rumour that OPPO could be working on an OPPO N1 mini and OPPO N2 smartphone does sound rather believable. The rumour indicates that the new OPPO N1 mini will have tech specs which include an Octa-core MT6592 processor or other octa-core processor, 5-inch screen and a version for 3G and 4G connectivity. While the camera details have not been confirmed, we assume that the 13MP camera sensor will be retained along with the N1's rotateable camera hinge. The rumours don't say much else about the OPPO N2 however, just that OPPO are currently working on it. As usual with such rumours, do remember to take this with a pinch of salt and disbelief. No news on Malaysia release dates or pricing but we hope that it will be significantly lower than the currently priced OPPO N1.
