It is powered by a 1.3 GHz dual core processor coupled with 512MB RAM. It runs on Android 4.2-based on company's Color ROM.

In the imaging segment, Oppo Joy features a basic 3-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and a 0.3-megapixel (VGA) front-facing shooter as well.

Connectivity options include 3G HSPA+, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth, GPS and Oppo has also included a dual SIM (normal + micro) slot in the device.

The affordable handset houses a native storage capacity of 4GB, which can be further expanded up to 32GB via microSD card. Lastly the handset is powered by a 1700 mAh battery.

To talk about the competition, if it gets launched in India at the above translated price the Oppo Joy will still not catch up with the competitive pricing of the Indian devices, as the low-end smartphones which are being offered by the Indian vendors have better specs and much more affordable as well. Thus Oppo might have to re-price the handset if it plans to launch it's latest mid-range offering in India.
