The LTE version of the OPPO R1, i.e., the OPPO R1S just went live in China a few moments back.
The R1S gives dual SIM support a miss, but now comes with 4G LTE on board. This is one among other major differences between the two devices; the updated R1S also gets a Snapdragon 400 processor, replacing the cheaper MT6582 found on the R1. While there are the said differences, the R1S continues to have the exact footprint and body of the original R1.
Gizchina News of the week
Screen, storage and memory remain the same at 720p 5-inch, 16GB and 1GB respectively, but the R1S gets a bump in the imaging department with a more contemporary-sounding 13 mega-pixel main camera instead of the 8 mega-pixel that sits on the R1. With a 2410mAh battery, the OPPO R1S is powered by OPPO’s own ColorOS based on Android v4.3.
Pre-orders for the OPPO R1S will start tomorrow, with an asking price of 2498 Yuan ($400), with the device offered in two colour variants — Blue and White.

these guys are joking! Other companies are launching great phones and oppo launch this!
don’t understand some companies…
lol good luck oppo
Qualcomm 400 for $400 ? Nice job.
+1
shame oppo!
mal la bu
That makes me ditch this phone. No dual SIM = not for me. Too Bad next candidate which had great potential if it were Dual SIM…. :/
What about the original R1 which has dual SIM?
now every smartphone above $400 is a joke
I just dont see the point of this phone, specs are quite low for the price. Even phones from samsung, sony have better specs in this price range. I dont think very many people would shell out $400 such a low speced phone specially from a Chinese company. Even the older Find 5 from oppo themselves is a far better buy which has seen price cuts recently.
I guess they’re trying to appeal to ladies crowd seeing the color of choice.
