The Oppo N1 also comes with a special touch-sensitive area on the back called O-Touch, which enables users to control the device through performing various gestures, including swipes, long-presses, or double taps. Additionally, the smartphone comes with a special accessory, O-Click, which works as a remote controller for the camera, and which can be operated from up to 50 meters away from the device.
