Earlier this year Cyanogen became it's own company with it's own employees and it's own ideas and it's own product Cyanogenmod .. This is the Cyanogenmod phone .. it is the first phone after Oppo became the hardware partner of Cyanogenmod... let's not waste any time and get our hands on this device..
Design or hardware
This is a really big phone with not so big expectations..the first thing you notice when you hold this phone for the first is it's size.. this is really really big phone.. it is 6.75 inch tall and 3.25 inches wide with a 5.9 inch 1080x1920 display.. with 337ppi..this phone feels huge no matter what size your hands are, it'll look and feel huge ..

| Chin and Bezel.. |
One thing i noticed while looking at the display there is a whole lot of chin and a whole lot of bezel on the top and bottom, this is more common to have in tablets ,this is why it feels so much bigger than other phone with the same size screen that also have 6.0 inches screen and they look smaller than the Oppo N1....
This phone is heavy than most of the smart phones out there with 213g weight... when you hold it with one hand while typing it's going to feel a little bit top heavy ,but big phones are going to feel top heavy when you use them in one hand , Note 3 one the other hand is not that top heavy because it is made of plastic so there is a big difference between how both the devices feel...
I really like the build quality of this device that's just something we can count on Oppo to get it right..
Find 5 was carved around a piece of stainless steel and the N1 is the same way. In the build quality department this phone crushes and i have no doubt it will last a long time.
Because this phone is so big all of it's buttons are on the side and bottom ..power button is on the right hand side and below it is the volume rockers ,on the bottom is the headphone jack the USB port for charging and data and the speaker which is pretty solid..
This is not the thinnest phone it is 9mm thick but all of this build quality and size gets you a 3610mAh battery.. that keeps this phone in operation for hours and hours and hours it can last for 2 days with one time charge you can take this phone for a weekend and not bring your charger.this phone has incredible stamina ..

| O Touch |
On the back there is a small square touch sensitive area in the middle i.5sq inches called O Touch
it is pretty much limited capabilities right now but basically it acts as a touch pad on the back, that lets you scroll through apps and through the browser to tap things and apps ..but the plcaement is not convenient at all no matter how you hold the phone , you probably will not hold the back in any sort of way like that .
Specifications and Software
iu is rocking a 1.7GHz quad core snapdragon 600.the Adreno 320 GPU and of course the 5.9 inch 1080p display on the front , it handles it self pretty well..

| First ever ..!!in a smart phone. Rotating camera |
Well you can't talk about the Oppo N1 with out talking about the camera on the back or on the front , it has a manually rotating camera with a 13MP sensor with dual LED flash.. you can use it as a 13 MP back facing shooter or a 13MP selfie cam ,it is so controversial because we all know that moving part in any device at all tend to be the breaking point ,whenever you have a fully compact design device there are no moving parts and this is a massive moving part no other smartphone has anything like this..so is this good or bad?? honestly, this is a combination of both good and bad Oppo says they have tested the crap out of this thing and it seems to hold perfectly up to 100,000 rotation that's a big no how big ? you ask .. let's say you are a girl or a guy who love taking selfies and you have a photo session of your self everyday and in the process you move it 10 times a day with 10 times a day this phone will last for 27 years and you probably won't own a phone for that long..but i am concerned about the dust getting in that groove when you rotate the camera and that dirt can bring some pretty nasty scratches which will be hard to remove..
On terms of actual camera quality it has 13MP so they are looking very sharp and of course it will take much higher than average selfies..
Using this phone is very pleasant any phone with a big display like this is going to be amazing for media too so watching videos and gaming is really fun ..
other thing like opening and closing apps multitasking web browsing and everything else you do with a high-end android smart phone is very smooth on this phone..
There are actually a few trick into Cyanogenmod settings specifically for the N1 thing that makes the on hand use easier notification pull down trick like tablets left side swipe for notifications right side swipe for quick settings , there is also setting to control the capacitive key o\how long t\does they back light stays on etc ..stuff that makes it a very solid complete Cyanogenmod experience..
At the end of the day this is the phone we saw as the Cyanogenmod phone but the firt Oppo N1's are going to ship internationally with Oppo's Color ROM .. but you can install Cyanogenmod on any Oppo N1 with only 3 steps super easy and there is going to be a limited addition Cyanogenmod version of this phone which will be shipped with Cyanogenmod built in the device..
Cyanogenmod Oppo N1 is out..
So if you like Big screen and the feel of stock Android this could be the phone you want..
