The Snapdragon 660 chipset and 4 GB of RAM are present under the hood of the device. The handset includes 3,600mAh battery. When it comes to storage, it offers an internal storage of 128 GB. There is a microSD card slot for additional storage.
The back panel of the phone is equipped with a horizontally aligned 16-megapixel + 2-megapixel dual camera setup. A 25-megapixel selfie shooter is available inside the notch of the smartphone. The phone is loaded with ColorOS 5.2 flavored Android 8.1 Oreo.
The OPPO R17 Neo is priced at JPY 38,988 (~$345). Users can also purchase it on contract by paying JPY 3,218 (~$28) a month. There is no confirmation on the availability of the R17 Neo outside of Japan.
