China's Oppo to soon launch a camera-centric smartphone

One of the bigger players in China's smartphone market, Oppo, seems to be working on a new device that will focus on the camera more than anything else. According to Engadget, this will be part of the company's new line-up, dubbed N-Lens. An Oppo representative described it as the "most important flagship series for Oppo going forward."

Sadly enough, however, Oppo hasn't revealed any details about what these new camera-centric smartphones might entail. We do know what to expect, though: a high-resolution camera with great low-light performance. For reference, the smartphone will probably end up being something like the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom or the Nokia Lumia 1020.

The Oppo Find 5 with its glorious 1080p display

The last major handset launched by Oppo was the Find 5. Sadly enough, the handset never made it to Indian shores. The Find 5 has a 5-inch display with a full HD 1080p resolution. This gives it a pixel density of 441 ppi. Under the hood, it's powered by a 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon processor with the graphics being handled by an Adreno 320. Along with 2GB of RAM, the handset has great overall performance.

Its shooter is a 13 megapixel camera with all of the standard bells and whistles including autofocus and LED flash. The front has a 1.9 megapixel camera. Connectivity options include 2G, 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC. All of this is kept alive by a 2500 mAh battery. The handset comes in two variants—16GB and 32GB.

The Oppo Find 5 had hit international stores back in February. We are yet to see if the company has any plans to launch the handset in India.
