Oppo is having an event on December 17 to announce
New Year Edition of the dual-cam R17 and triple-cam R17 Pro. The company is
already receiving registrations for the announcement on JD.com, but details
like design and prices will be revealed at the launch.
Given the previous attempt of Oppo doing a New Year
promo with the R11s Star Screen New Year Edition, we expect no changes in the
footprint or specs. The new part will be a customized theme for ColorOS, extra
special retail box, probably with a neat gift, and hopefully a new color option
for the R17 and R17 Pro.
Given the new package will be Limited Edition, both
devices are expected to be in their top-notch configuration with 8 GB RAM and
128 GB storage. Since the promo is in China, the phones are most certainly
coming without Google services, so think twice if you want to purchase them
online just because they look neat.
