At OPPO N1 launch event, OPPO mentioned that it will launch OPPO R1 in India sometime in April for a price north of 25,000 INR. According to our source, the phone has already arrived in India and is expected to hit the shelves by sometime next week.
The OPPO R1 will feature 5 inch supersensitive IPS LCD display with 720p HD resolution and will be powered by 1.3 GHz MT6582 quad core chipset found in budget android phones. The humble quad core processor is backed by 1 GB RAM and Mali 400 GPU. Internal storage is non expandable 16 GB. Other features include 8 MP camera at the back, 5 MP front shooter, 2410 mAh battery, Android 4.2 based Color OS and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection.

The OPPO R1 is expected to officially reach retail stores sometime later next week.
