The phone in question has a 6.52-inch 720p display with a 60Hz refresh rate and waterdrop-style notch housing an 8MP selfie camera.

For photography, the phone has three cameras on the back: a 13MP main sensor with f/2.2 aperture lens, and two 2MP sensors, one for portraits and another for macros.

The phone is made of glossy plastic. Oppo will offer it in two colourways: blue and black. It is thin (8.4mm) and light (189g) much like most Oppo phones. Rounding off the package is a side-mounted fingerprint reader.
