Oppo Reno 17 series coming on November 16

OPPO has launched the promotional campaign of the Reno17 series in China, and the OPPO Reno17 series will be unveiled at the on-sale event on November 16 at 19:00 local time. The series will be the continuation of the Reno16 family, which was introduced earlier this year. But the most talked about detail in the campaign is the cat pattern design on the back of the phone.

Four colors, one cat pattern model

Featuring singer Song Yuqi as the face of the campaign, the series is featured in four colours: Encounter Cat, Ice Moon White, Cocoa Brown and First Snow White. Moreover, all of the colors are in the same promotional film.

Encounter Cat is the lead version of the series. There is a three-dimensional cat graphic on the back panel, giving a feeling of depth. For this reason, this model is mostly featured in the visuals of the campaign.

First features of OPPO Reno17 series models

Preliminary information of two models in the series has been revealed:

OPPO Reno17: 6.57-inch screen, Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor and 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera.

OPPO Reno17 Pro: 6.32 inch screen, MediaTek Dimensity 8550 processor and 50 megapixel periscope telephoto camera.

Periscope telephoto, that is, the lens is positioned horizontally within the body of the phone and provides zoom, comes with the same resolution in both models. Screen sizes and processors make the main difference between the models. For example, the Pro model combines a smaller screen with a MediaTek processor.

6 seconds in motion picture

Zhang Ruoxing, product manager of the Reno series, shared new sample photos taken with the Reno17 series. According to him, the phone will be able to record long-term motion pictures at 4K resolution at all focal lengths.

Live recording time increases from 3 seconds to 6 seconds for the first time. On the imaging side, both models focus especially on these moving contents. Therefore, the main promise of the camera in the series is recordings that resemble short videos rather than single-frame photographs.

Pre-order started

Pre-orders for the OPPO Reno17 series opened on October 30. OPPO's other products were also available for pre-order in the same period: OPPO Watch 5 smart watch and OPPO Pad Air6 tablet.

Prices and remaining technical details will be clarified at the launch event on November 16.
