Oppo just launched a new design-oriented budget smartphone. Dubbed the Oppo A17, the smartphone’s main highlight is its leather-like rear panel. Here, we will take a look at the Oppo A17 along with its specs, features, availability, and price in Nepal.
Oppo A17 Overview:
Design, Display
While not real or faux leather, the back panel on the Oppo A17 offers a leather-like feel with its textured back. It features two circular camera bumps one with the primary shooter and the other with a flash and a depth sensor. The phone is available in Lake Blue and Midnight Black color options.
Drawing our attention toward the display, the Oppo A17 flaunts a 6.56-inch LCD screen with HD+ resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate. Unfortunately, it has an outdated-looking waterdrop notch over the display. That being said, Oppo could have opted for a hole-punch cutout to maintain the overall premium look of the device.
Performance
Under the hood, the Oppo A17 packs a MediaTek Helio G35 from 2020. It is a budget octa-core processor based on a 12nm process technology. Oppo has paired the processor with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. Running the show is the Android 12-based ColorOS 12.1.
Cameras
The rear dual camera setup on the Oppo A17 is comprised of a 50MP primary sensor with /1.8 aperture and a 2MP depth sensor. Likewise, the front selfie camera is a 5MP sensor with an f/2.2 aperture and fixed focus.
Rest of the specs
The Oppo A17 has dual 4G sim support but it doesn’t support an SD card. It’s fueled up via a 5,000mAh battery which charges via a micro USB port. There is no support for fast charging though. You do get an IPX4 rating for splash resistance. As for security, Oppo has implemented a fingerprint scanner on the power button.
