Oppo announced the R17 Pro back in August without a
launch date (not to mention a word on what that second 20MP camera does). Well
now we know about the former - the Oppo R17 Pro will go on sale on November 11. The initial launch will be in
China, where the phone will cost CNY 4,300 or around € 540 in its only 8GB/128GB
configuration. We expect Oppo to expand the R17 Pro's availability to other
markets as well.
The Oppo R17 Pro offers a 6.4-inch AMOLED of
1080x2340px resolution with a water drop notch occupied by a 25MP f/2.0 selfie
camera, a Snapdragon 710 chipset, 8GB of RAM and a 3,700mAh battery.
On the back it has a triple camera that consists of
a 12MP f/1.5-2.4 identical to the one on the Galaxy Note9, a 20MP of unknown
characteristics and a 3D time of flight camera that's aimed at achieving
augmented reality. Finally the R17 Pro has Super VOOC charging that promises to
top up the entire battery in under 40 minutes.
The R17 Pro outlines a good blueprint of the
upcoming OnePlus 6T. OnePlus' flagship will have a more restrained paint job, a
more capable Snapdragon 845 chipset, non-expandable storage, dual instead of
triple camera and a different OS but will share the screen and battery, as well
as the super fast charging and design.
