OPPO A1k: At a glance
As far as its specifications are concerned, it sports a waterdrop notched design with a bottom bezel. On the rear, the polycarbonate panel houses a single camera and an LED flash. It offers a 6.1-inch LCD display with an HD+ (720x1560 pixels) resolution and Gorilla Glass 3 protection.
