Users who know OPPO know that OPPO will release R series new products twice a year at the first half and second half of the year respectively. In March this year, OPPO released the first OPPO mobile phone R15 series designed by Liu Haiping as scheduled, and in August, OPPO brought us the last R series new product of this year - R17 series.

OPPO R17 series also has two models, R17 and R17 Pro. The one we have is the R17 in streamer color. R17 series includes fog light gradient color, streamer blue and neon light purple. Our set is streamer purple. In fact, the streamer purple version is also a gradient color. The overall color changes from dark blue to dark green, somewhat similar to the aurora color.

Different from the past, this new R series product released in the second half of 2018 is not named with a suffix ending in "s". The product name is not "R15s", but "R17". From the perspective of naming, it seems that this R17 should be different from R15 in many ways, and has some improvement, which is also confirmed by its appearance design and hardware parameters.

In terms of appearance, OPPO has adopted a very unique "water drop screen" this time. Instead of retaining the bangs on the mobile phone, it has only left a small space for the camera. This "water drop screen" can be understood as a non-public beauty tip, and the overall implementation scheme is close. R17 adopts the same micro slot earpiece design as Find X. The earpiece has a small opening and is located on the top of the front camera.

The whole R17 is designed with double-sided glass+metal middle frame. The front and rear are 2.5D glass panels. The metal middle frame is polished. The antenna with injection molding process is hidden on the frame at the top and bottom of the fuselage. In the design of the front and rear panels and middle frames, R17 is basically the same as R15.

OPPO R17 is the first R series with USB Type-C interface

R17 is also the first OPPO R series product equipped with offline fingerprint technology. The unlocking touch experience of the entire offline fingerprint is very similar to the vivo series. Instead of using offline pressure fingerprint, it uses offline touch fingerprint.

In terms of parameter configuration, R17 adopts Snapdragon 670 SoC, 8GB RAM+128GB ROM (the only capacity version), 6.4 inch 2340 * 1080 resolution AMOLED screen, front camera of 25 million pixels (f/2.0), rear camera of 16 million+5 million, and battery capacity of 3500 mAh.

OPPO R17 launched its pre-sale activity a week before its release, and will be officially launched on August 30. In the first half of the year, R15 started with 128G. This time, R17 only provides 128G version. 6+128 version sells for 3199 yuan, and 8+128 version sells for 3499 yuan. What do you think of this pricing strategy and new machine?
