We already know its full specs sheet and that it is mostly a re-packaged Oppo Realme 2, complete with a smaller "tear drop" style notch.

While the former has a pretty distinct geometrical pattern design, available in Diamond Black, Diamond Red, Diamond Blue colors, we had only seen the latter appear in a shade...
