Oppo N1: A 2013 phone with a 206° rotating camera and a rear touch panel.
SpecEagle Editorial·Dec 2013·$600·Score 46/100
Oppo N1 pioneered the rotating-camera idea — a 206° swivel module gave you the same 13 MP lens for rear shots and selfies — plus a rear gesture pad and even a CyanogenMod edition. Bulky and niche, but a genuinely inventive early Oppo.
