Like most Android phone makers, Oppo is also planning to unveil a mini variant of its flagship smartphone.

According to our source, Oppo is working on a 5-inch variant of the N1 (also known as the N1 Mini) which will be powered by an 8-core processor and retains the same design.

It will come in two models- LTE and non-LTE - and is slated for an official announcement in May or June. Consumers can expect the device to be priced competitively.

The N1 sports a 5.9-inch Full-HD (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) IPS display, runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 quad-core 1.7GHz processor and 2GB RAM. It also has a rotating 13-megapixel camera with dual-mode LED and an aperture of f/2.0.

Using a similar concept like the LG G2, the N1 has a 12-cm² rear touch panel to make one-handed use more comfortable and easier. You can scroll, tap or snap photos without your finger blocking the display.
