Oppo teases N1 smartphone launch in September, promises backside touch

Oppo teases N1 smartphone with September launch, backside touch

Oppo may have already confirmed the existence of its N-Lens series devices, but it’s offering us a few more details through official teasers for the line’s inaugural smartphone, the N1. While the posts show little of the handset in question, they point to both a September launch and backside touch input. It’s also clear that the N1 is important to Oppo — a timeline (pictured after the break) positions the phone as a spiritual successor to last year’s Find 5 flagship. With the unveiling just weeks away, we won’t have to wait long to get the full story.

Polk Audio Xbox N1 sound bar and 133t gaming headphones eyes-on

Polk’s at E3 showing off two new devices it’s showing off at E3 this week that aren’t half bad looking. Granted, they’re not as slick as some of the higher end products the audio company has shown off in the past, but as far as gaming-centric devices go, they’re not too shabby. According to the company, Microsoft approached it specifically to create peripherals for the Xbox, leading Polk to give the world the 133t Gaming Headphones and N1 sound bar.

The 133ts eschew the standard external gaming mic for a little nub that juts out from one ear. To mute it, you just click it back up inside the cup. The headphones also feature a mixer that plugs directly into the controller to help eliminate cords and lets you adjust sound settings on the fly. The Surroundbar, meanwhile, was designed specifically with the Xbox in mind, featuring four modes: Racer, FPS, Music and Cinema, so you can switch between gaming and standard media consumption. The N1 is set for a fall release, with the 133t coming some time in Q4. More info in a press release after the break.
