OPPO, the global smartphone brand dedicated to providing products infused with art and innovative technology, has released the OPPO R17 and R17 Pro.

The R17 series positions OPPO as a brand offering fashionable design and technology innovation. The OPPO R17 and R17 Pro feature a new "three-colour and bi/quad-direction" gradient design through adding a light-condensing layer. The R17 series also uses Corning Gorilla Glass 6 for the first time, with a 91.5% screen-to-body ratio and a Hidden Fingerprint Unlock feature. 

Brian Shen, Assistant VP, OPPO and Head of Marketing in China, said: “OPPO insists on creating products with ‘beauty’ and aims to create beautiful products from two dimensions; design and technology. Under the guidance of this concept, we have brought two new masterpieces, R17 and R17 Pro, to our users. The R17 series breaks with previous R series' product updates by incorporating new and powerful technological innovations to bring users even more surprises."

The R17 Pro features a smart aperture and a software-based AI Ultra-clear Engine that allows users to take high-quality night photos. The R17 Pro also sports a TOF* 3D camera, supporting 3D photos, somatosensory games, an augmented reality ruler and more. The R17 Pro also has SuperVOOC flash charging technology, which is safe, fast and efficient.
