The Oppo R17 Pro and R17 has been official launched in India. Both the devices are a premium offering having all the bells and whistles that applies to devices of this category that includes both specifications, style, and looks.
The first thing that catches the eye with the R17 and R17 Pro is its almost bezel-less display. Dominating the front is a 6.4-inch full HD+ display having a 19:9 aspect ratio and a screen-to-body ratio of 91.5 percent. The dew drop notch is the only disrupting feature of the display along with the almost razor thin chin at the bottom.
Another highlight of the display, or rather of the R17 duo is its incorporation of an in-screen fingerprint sensor.
Powering the R17 Pro is the Snapdragon 710 processor that has been built as per the 10nm manufacturing process and boasts of 2 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores. The R17, however, comes powered by the Snapdragon 670 chipset though all other specs remain largely the same.
