Oppo R1S Snapdragon version alleged in Tenaa

The Oppo R1 is a dual-SIM phone with a MediaTek chipset but Oppo has now a more powerful Snapdragon variant of the Oppo R1 dubbed as the Oppo R1S, which was just certified by Tenaa (Chinese wireless authority).

The Oppo R1S, has the dimensions of 142.7 x 70.4 x 7.1mm and it's actually a bit lighter at 136g. The phone has a 5" TFT screen with 720p resolution (294ppi), just like the regular R1.

Where the phones differ is that the Snapdragon chipset (presumably Snapdragon 400 MSM8926) supports LTE – both Chinese and global. The new phone is a bit more powerful too – the CPU is still a quad-core Cortex-A7 but it's now clocked at 1.6GHz and there's 2GB RAM instead of just 1GB.

The Oppo R1S runs Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, one up from the 4.2 Jelly Bean that the R1 came out with. The Snapdragon chipset should allow for easier updates to newer Android versions over the MediaTek chipset too.

Another upgrade is the camera – the main camera is now a 13MP shooter, up from 8MP. It can record 1080p video. From the Tenaa info we can't quite tell if the Oppo R1S is a dual-SIM like the R1 or not.
