In an event at the Iconic Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, Oppo announced the entry to its latest series of flagships, the Oppo N3.

Based on the spec sheet, the handset is an attractive proposition. The N3 comes with a 5.5 inch display with a fullHD (1920X1080) resolution. It’s powered by a Snapdragon 801 Quad Core processor which clocks in at 2.3GHz. It’s a Krait 400 chip though, which is rather outdated. The N3 comes with 32GB of inbuilt storage and 2GB of RAM, instead of 3GBs that we were earlier expecting.

The main feature of the N3 is the motorized camera which has a swivel action and it will let you take selfies and videos at 16MP. The inbuilt motor allows it to function as both the rear and front camera as it can be rotated (upto 206 degrees) through various means including a sensor at the back and the camera software.

So if you are taking panoramas, selfies or shots that involve a moving object, the camera will rotate by itself. A fingerprint sensor at the back protects your images as soon as you take them.

Everything is powered by a 3000mAh battery which should be enough for a full day’s usage. Other features on the N3 include Oppo’s VOOC technology, which allows rapid charging. The inclusion means the N3 can charge to 75% in 30 minutes and allow for 2 hours of talk time with a 5 minute long charge

The phone measures 161.2 x 77 x 9.9mm and weighs 192 grams.

The exact release date for the Oppo N3 is not yet known but the pricing has been confirmed at $649 (roughly PKR 67,000). At this price range, Oppo is targeting the highest tier of smartphone users.

Success of OPPO N3 in Pakistan is going to be a big question mark since people tend to prefer the familiar over the new ones when parting with that much cash. Especially when you have Xperia Z2 — let alone the Z3 — at lower price with better specs minus the rotating camera of course.

So we will have to see how this mechanized camera could help the Oppo N3 become a hit with photography (and selfie) junkies, but again for a selfie camera will you be spending 67K rupees? Do let us know in the comments!

  • again price is on higher side Oppo need to reconsider their pricing in Pakistan Specially. people are more brand conscious here.. though they are marketing their products on mass level in Pakistan all mobile shops in Lahore are branded with Oppo but still I think are not getting number of sales compared to their marketing..

    • no IK is the marketing head and he takes u turns on each strategy when implementation starts

  • I guess OPPO is blind… You have to first capture the Market with affordable and high quality and performance devices and than you can expect the customers to pay 670$ or more

  • They are saving the money by introducing one camera further movable camera cant run longer as with passage of time the ribon can get break

    • lolz u r still in 2005…..its 2014 buddy…….camera ribon….. typical mobile shop wali batain

  • I really appreciate the huge improvement in quality of articles since following propakitani for around 2 years. Keep going this way and soon you gona my primary Tech Site to rely on.
    Although your mobile site really dis-appoint. please change its over-lay.

  • can anyone confirm the shop at centaurs islamabad is actually the oppo’s dealer or their own shop?
    @aamir7

  • Diffidently it’s camera and specs beat iPhone 6 and S5 but price is too much high especially for Pakistan, they must reconsider there price instead of too much money waiting on advertising….
