Oppo N1 mini to be announced on May 30

Oppo is getting ready to announce a new variant of its N1 smartphone, and the company confirmed that it would do it on May 30 - apparently during an event held in China, Oppo’s home country. Last week, when we spotted the new handset at the FCC, we called it Oppo N1 mini - because it just looks like a shrunken N1 (and mini smartphones are trending now).



Like the original Oppo N1, which was released at the end of last year, the alleged N1 mini comes with a swiveling 13MP camera. Other features include a 5-inch 720p display (instead of the larger 5.9-inch screen of the older N1), and a 2,140 mAh battery.



Back in December, Oppo released a CyanogenMod-based variant of the 5.9-inch N1 in the US and Europe, so we’re thinking that it may want to sell the smaller N1 internationally, too. We should find out if that’s the case on May 30, when - among other things - the official name of the handset will also be unveiled. Until then, you can see the mini Oppo N1 in the slideshow below:
