Description

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 three colour options: Lake Blue, Sunlight Orange, and Midnight Black colour 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 Unfortunately, it has an outdated-looking waterdrop notch over the display.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.
