The Oppo K1 is featured with the Under Variant SD660 processor, its performance is also good for hard gamers, it can easily handle high graphics games (i.e. PUBG and Asphalt 8) with their medium graphics setting, but the other phones(i.e. Zenfone max pro m2) in this range beat him in terms of performance.

Oppo K1 Review- Camera

Oppo K1 has been seen in the backside with the dual camera setup, which is considered with the primary camera of 16MP, which has been added to the 2MP secondary camera sensor. It can record 4k videos (without EIS) and 1080p(with EIS), but this does not support EIS so you can not record good quality videos with it.

The Oppo K1’s 16 + 2 MP Back Camera has been performing very impressive both times of day and night, and it was able to capture good detail in both night and daytime.

The 25MP Selfie Camera is also performing well both times of day and night, it was able to capture good quality selfie images both day and night. There was a slight noise in selfies taken at night but they were good enough to post on social media.

oppo K1 Review- Battery

It will give about 4 to 5hrs of gameplay in a single charge
Oppo K1 has a 3,600mAh Li-ion battery, which gives you continuous 4-5hr gameplay in a single charge. It can be used in normal use for one to one and a half days, but in heavy gaming, it will run easily for 1 day (I think, no one would be giving 5-6 hours a day for gaming). The best part we saw during battery testing was 1-hour gameplay, the phone was not much heat up.

Oppo K1 Review- Verdict

Oppo K1 is a mid-range smartphone that offers many features to its users (i.e. in-display fingerprint, AMOLED display, Gorilla Glass 5). But, there are some disadvantages to this phone too. Therefore, if you are ready to compromise (such as Slow Fingerprint, Without EIS, No Type-C), you can buy this Mobile But, if you want a good video recording phone, then I have to say that, This option has to be abandoned. Altogether, the phone is good and is giving a tough competition to Redmi, and other mobile brands.
