Remember that first time the alleged Oppo R17 passed
through TENAA? Well, as it turns out, the device in question isn't really the
R17 because the last few live images and the 3C certification document paint a
completely different picture. The back design is different and the model
numbers don't match.
So the first TENAA listing is apparently for another
phone, while this one is legit. The model numbers are - PBEM00 and PBET00 and
the camera alignment on the back is in line with the last two live photos. Unfortunately,
though, information is scarce and specs are yet to be filled in the table.
The only piece of information we could gather from
the listing is the dimensions and the screen size - 157.5 x 74.9 x 7.5mm
fitting a 6.4-inch display powered by 3,415 mAh battery. The under display
fingerprint should be in there as well.
Here's where the Chinese leakster on Weibo comes
into play. He claims that these two model numbers correspond only to the
regular R17 while the Pro version hasn't appeared on TENAA yet. Both
alterations will sport Snapdragon 710 but the Pro variant will probably boast
10GB of RAM and advanced TOF 3D facial recognition. The devices are also
expected to ship with Corning's new Gorilla Glass 6.
The Oppo R17 and R17 Pro are likely to be announced
by the end of this month, so we have just a few more weeks to speculate before
going official.
