The Oppo K1 smartphone has been launched in China for a price of CNY 1,599 (approximately Rs 17,100) for the 4GB/64GB storage variant while the 6GB RAM/64GB storage variant is priced at CNY 1,799 (approximately Rs 19,300). It will be available in Mocha Red and Van Gogh Blue color variants. Pre-orders for the smartphone have begun and will go on sale starting October 19 in China.

In terms of specifications, the device features a 6.4-inch full-HD+ display with 1080x2340 pixels resolution with 19.5:9 aspect ratio. It is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor with two RAM variant options – 4GB and 6GB. Running Android 8.1 Oreo with ColorOS 5.2, the device includes an internal storage of 64GB and can be further expanded up to 256GB via microSD card.

The device comes equipped with a dual rear camera set up - 16MP primary sensor along with a 2MP secondary sensor. It also features a 25MP front-facing camera. Connectivity features include 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.0 and GPS/ A-GPS. A 3600mAh battery completes the package. The main USP of the device is the in-display fingerprint sensor. 

Recently, reports suggested that a new Oppo Find X is on the way and that it will come with over double the RAM of the new iPhone XS. With GizmoChina tipped off by a tweet, it appears that Chinese tech brand Oppo may be the first to release a smartphone with RAM in the double digits at 10GB and also 256GB of ROM, but companies like Vivo and ASUS may not be far behind.

The tweet showed an image of the Find X next to a picture of the specs from TENAA, a national Chinese agency regulating technology, where the addition of a 10MB option was made. No other details we changed, so we can expect the RAM to be the only difference between the new smartphone and the current version.

The Find X's 6.42-inch AMOLED screen has a 2340 x 1080 resolution which hides the 25MP front-facing camera and 3D face-scanning sensors that unlock the device. The dual rear cameras are 16 MP and 20 MP. The phone utilizes Qualcomm's Snapdragon 845 process, so we can expect the same from the new variant.
