Oppo K1 to go on sale today at 12 pm on Flipkart: Price, launch offers and features

Launched a little less than a week ago, Oppo’s budget offering the **Oppo K1** goes on sale for the first time today at 12 pm. The smartphone is a Flipkart exclusive for the time being so that’s the only place you can buy the phone from, for now. The smartphone will be available only after 12 pm, but this isn’t really a flash sale, so you should be able to buy the smartphone even later, provided Oppo has enough stock. The phone is available in India in a single variant, offering 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. As for the launch offers, Oppo K1 will bundle 90 percent buyback value on Flipkart, no cost EMI, and 10 percent discount on Citi Bank credit and debit cards.
