OPPO R17 Pro Review | Smartphone Evolution

Early in 2019 the competition in the smartphone market was immediately fierce. OPPO started the battle by producing a new hero. Indeed, at the global level, this cellphone has been introduced since August and was marketed in November 2018 in its native China. But it was only early January to visit the market. The arrival of the OPPO Find X, which was thought to be quite successful, became the OPPO alibi to also introduce the premium OPPO R17 Pro series.

OPPO R17 Pro Review | Smartphone Evolution

Compared to other series, A and F, the R series is still not very well known because not all products in this line are marketed. In the OPPO product line, the R series focuses more on camera expertise for photography. Universally, there are 3 things that are the advantages of the OPPO R17 Pro, namely its elegant-looking design, a smart lens camera with reliable night image quality, and the extraordinary VOOC Flash Charge battery charging technology.

Well, to further identify what kind of expertise and features are offered, follow the following OPPO R17 Pro review.

Design

The initial impression was so tempting. This phone really immediately attracts attention when you see its sexy design, especially the elegant rear body. The OPPO R17 Pro appears with a graded shell which is trending again, but with a different twist. When tilting the body, there is an impact of different hues that appear, from purple to blue. Not only that, there is a silhouette of an S formed in the middle, increasing the energy of attraction.

On the OPPO R17 Pro, there is an arrangement of condensation rays between the hue arrangement and the glass surface. This condensation arrangement has special curves and textures that can refract light to match the texture. This phone appears with a new style in the gradation design is the Radian Mist. Next, OPPO uses matte etching and polishing technology followed by the electroplating process.

The back of this feature is made of matte glass which is not only safe to hold, but also prevents fingerprints from sticking to the glass surface. The OPPO R17 Pro also adopts a crescent arc design at the top as well as the feature base, which causes re-positioning of the speaker and USB port. The speaker is positioned between the edge of the feature and the glass section with a width of only 0.5 millimeters.

With a curve at the base, when the feature is placed horizontally, the sound output on the speaker will be more optimal because it is not obstructed. Not only that, the body also continues to get stronger with adoption 6th series aluminum alloy frame which introduces solid features as well as smooth edge surfaces.

One thing that for me is still lacking than this phone is that it doesn't support IP6x certification so that it can be water and dust resistant. Most of the premium phones from Apple, Samsung, Huawei and LG have included this expertise. So that the cellphone allows it to be used in various circumstances.

Display

OPPO R17 Pro has a similarity with its older brother, OPPO Find X, by using a screen with the same specifications. This phone wears a 6.4-inch bezel-less AMOLED type and has a screen resolution of 2340 × 1080. The 19.5: 9 screen aspect ratio offers consumers a better experience in enjoying multimedia content as well as playing games.

Like a premium phone, the screen quality is sure to be topnotch. The display shows content with a brighter, more vibrant motif. Coupled with the panel

Corning Gorilla Glas 6 which makes it even stronger. Technically, the latest generation of Gorilla Glass 6 has the resistance to be dropped to the surface from a height of one m to 15 times or 2 times stronger than Gorilla Glass 5.

Camera

The camera is a feature that is highly highlighted on this phone. It can be seen from the stock of 3 cameras with a 12MP + 20MP + TOF configuration. The last sensor is that TOF can make 3 size photos, but its use and capabilities are still very limited.

OPPO R17 Pro is equipped with sensors

Sony IMX 362 with 12 Megapixel size and dual-pixel technology, which allows the camera to focus more quickly and accurately. The 1/2.55 and 1.4.4 micron pixel sensor sizes support better nighttime images and are low in noise.

This camera has a dual diaphragm F / 1. 5 and F / 2. This dual diaphragm feature can change automatically to get used to taking photos with light conditions.

This diaphragm expertise can justify the resulting photos being sharper and clearer, whether in bright or low light conditions. This feature emphasizes the uniform expertise that was previously found on the Samsung Galaxy S9 series.

OPPO R17 Pro is also equipped with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) 3 with 3 axes which can make taking photos more normal. And a 7P lens that can make photos appear sharper for night shots.

Not only that, it is strengthened by the AI ​​Ultra-clear Engine in the form of photo quality enhancement technology that was raised by OPPO. This clever machine have the skills to recognize 23 schema types as well as creating over 800 mixed schematic images.

Battery

OPPO R17 Pro is equipped with a bi-cell battery (2 x 1850mAH). It's a pretty unique configuration. It was the first time I recognized that a cellphone had 2 batteries at once. When combined, the total capacity of the battery is 3700 mAh.

The battery capacity is not exactly big, but it's not small either. If you use your cellphone in an intensive category, for example you like to play online games, often take pictures and record videos, let alone edit them directly on your cellphone, so the battery can run out lightning fast.

But that's not a problem, because this phone can charge energy with lightning. Very lightning in fact. Moreover, listed one of the fastest in the world. This is due to the use of the Superb VOOC Flash Charge technology.

The OPPO R17 pro is an early R series feature that is equipped with outstanding VOOC flash charging technology, adopting 10V / 5A flash energy charging with a power of nearly 50 watts.

This lightning extraordinary energy charging technology is able to charge a battery energy of 40% in just 10 minutes. Otherwise for a full charge it takes from 30- 40 minutes. Performance

Like a cellphone with a premium price, it is only natural that the OPPO R17 Pro is equipped with premium specifications. Well, let's go to the kitchen runway.

This feature uses a Snapdragon 710 processor. This also makes the OPPO R17 Pro like an early feature using the new processor made by Qualcomm.

On paper, this processor is made with a 10 nanometer fabrication that offers superior energy efficiency, long battery life, and a better feature experience. Most importantly when compared to the Snapdragon 660 series.

Using the number 7, the position of this processor is indeed in the high-end category but is still located at the base of the 8xx flagship processors and above 6xx.
