OPPO K1 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Shekhar Thakran]()
Verdict
The OPPO K1 is one of those all-rounder phones that get many things right. The handset brings along an AMOLED display panel and an under-display fingerprint sensor at an extremely competitive price. However, with the availability of Redmi Note 7 Pro (review) at a lower price, it becomes hard for us to recommend the OPPO offering over Xiaomi`s. The Redmi Note 7 Pro, in comparison, comes with a better chipset, larger battery capacity, and better camera performance, all at Rs 14,999. Having said that, OPPO`s handset still retains the novelty factor that comes with being the most affordable offeri...

Apples don't fall far from the tree, do they? The OPPO K1 comes with a design reminiscent of OPPO's own F9 Pro (review) and A7 smartphones. Having said that, I found the gradient colour design, Astral Blue in my case, not too flashy for my taste. I actually liked the use of dark blue and purple shades on the back to a certain extent. However, the plastic casing around the dual camera module, placed on the top-left, stood out like a sore thumb to me. OPPO did a brilliant job of keeping things minimalistic with the K1 as there is no inscription at the back apart from the company's branding in the middle.

To get the camera specifications out of the way first, the OPPO K1 comes with a dual camera setup at the back, consisting of a 16MP primary sensor and a 2MP secondary sensor, assisted by an LED flash for better pictures in poor lighting conditions. For selfies and video-calling, the brand has included a rather generous 25MP sensor at the front, which resides in the water drop notch up front. Now that we have discussed the optical hardware at the offer, it will only be fair to consider the software that supports these modules, before we jump to the real-world performance.

ColorOS as an operating system brings along some mixed feelings, mostly because the platform doesn't offer particularly useful features but still feels smooth and clean for most parts. However, as I pointed out in my Realme 3 review, v6.0 of the UI has brought along some nifty improvements. Unfortunately, the Android 9.0 Pie-based update has not yet arrived for the OPPO K1 and the phone runs ColorOS 5.2, which is based on Android 8.1 Oreo.

Battery

The OPPO K1 houses a 3,600mAh battery. Although the battery capacity does not look particularly impressive in comparison with some of the other handsets that you find in mid-range, there was no noticeable difference in the battery backup offered by the OPPO handset. One important thing to keep in mind is that the phone doesn't support fast charging and it takes around two hours to charge the phone from 0 to 100 percent.
