Oppo R15X launched with specs similar to the Oppo K1 but adds more storage

Launching the **Oppo K1** in China a few days back, Oppo today launched a new smartphone called the Oppo R15X which rocks close to identical specifications, except that it features more storage. The Oppo R15X which just showed up on Oppo’s website in China out of the blue earlier today, gets an under-display fingerprint scanner just like the K1 and also features a waterdrop notch. Looking at it straight up, both smartphones look identical and though Oppo is yet to reveal all the specifications of the new phone, it appears to be the same smartphone, rehashed with a new name.
