At a launch event in New Delhi today, Oppo is launching its first smartphone of the year — the Oppo K1 — which is also the first of the series in the country. The smartphone’s launch is scheduled to kick off at 12.00 pm.
The Oppo K1 is believed to be priced in the mid-budget price segment with it being tagged between the Rs 15,000 to Rs 20,000 mark. At that price range, it will compete with the likes of the Redmi Note 6 Pro, Poco F1, Nokia 7.1, Xiaomi Mi A2 and even the Realme U1.
However, the Oppo K1 has been teased to carry a feature that none of its competitors carries — an in-display fingerprint sensor.
