Oppo’s latest smartphone lets you text with gloves on

by John_A

Answering a text message in the middle of winter can pose a serious threat to your fingers if you aren’t careful — polar vortex or not — but Oppo is looking out for you. See, the outfit’s newly announced Neo smartphone has what it’s calling “gloves mode” that apparently allows you to keep emailing or tweeting even if you’re, well, gloved. This isn’t exactly new though, as other OEMs have done it before. We’re still happy to see it spreading further, regardless. Sadly, there isn’t much else to boast about spec-wise: the device sports a 4.5-inch 854 x 480 display, a dual-core 1.3GHz processor and a twin SIM slot among other accoutrements. It isn’t the cheapest way to get a ColorOS handset (around $422) however, but it is less costly than Oppo’s flagship N1. If you live stateside and are keen on the Neo though, you’re out of luck — it’ll only be available in Indonesia to start.
