A Complete Review On Oppo F17 Pro
Oppo released another sleek and light smartphone, the F17 Pro, and unlike some previous Oppo phones, this model is less expensive. The phone was introduced in Pakistan in September 2020 for Rs. 44,999. There is no doubt that the market is crowded with some incredible smartphones that are usually well-specced in the same price range. Oppo’s F17 Pro may fall short in a few areas when compared to other excellent smartphones in the market, but there are certain features that will appeal to you.
Mobilesly has provided a detailed review of the phone to help you decide if spending money on this phone is worth it.
Design and display
A lot of people are attracted to the new Oppo f17 Pro because of its stylish design. The phone is 7.48mm thick and weighs only 164g which makes it extremely comfortable to use for long durations, whether gaming or messaging. The frame and rear panel are made of plastic. A USB Type-C port, a headphone jack, and a speaker are present on the phone. On the left, there’s a triple-slot tray that can hold two Nano-SIM cards and a microSD card.
It is available in magic blue, metallic white, and matte black color. The F17 Pro features a 6.4-inch 1080p AMOLED screen with a large cut-out on top. It has the ability to produce vibrant and rich colors. Watching movies and videos on the screen is a pleasurable experience, and the punch-hole does not appear to be a problem. Even for games, the screen gives enough room for elements to be clearly visible. There is only a 60HZ panel which is a drawback for the phone as phones in this price range have 90Hz or 120Hz panels. The phone is protected by Gorilla Glass.
Perfomance
The majority of today’s mid-range smartphones are perfectly capable of handling daily things. The F17 Pro is powered by a MediaTek Helio P95 processor. The Helio P95 on the F17 Pro performs nicely with multitasking and daily applications. However, the camera’s processing speed is a bit sluggish. When you use the Ultra Night Mode, for example, the camera takes a few seconds to analyze the image.
The CPU handles low- and medium-quality games decently, but do not expect intense gameplay from it. It may begin to warm up in a while during heavy gaming. When playing games, there are frequent stutters and frame drops, which is not to be anticipated from a smartphone at this price. Oppo F17 Pro comes in a single variant. It comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.
Software and other specs
The Oppo F17 is powered by ColorOS7.2, which is based on Android 10. It is similar to other Oppo smartphones, but there is one feature that distinguishes it. It features an air gesture that recognizes your clinched finger pattern to approve or refuse a call. The speaker on the phone present at the bottom gets very loud, but having the flexibility to use the earpiece as a second speaker for stereo is preferable.
Camera
The Oppo F17 Pro includes six cameras, which Oppo refers it as “AI portrait cameras.”These include a 48-megapixel f/1.7 primary camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, a 2-megapixel monochrome camera, and a 2-megapixel depth camera. In the front, there is a 16-megapixel main selfie camera and a 2-megapixel depth camera. The F17 Pro’s primary camera, which autofocuses on targets swiftly in daylight, produces some stunning and detailed images. They keep natural colors and offer a good dynamic range. The wide-angle images are okay, but the details suffer slightly. The cameras can zoom up to 10X, with an optical zoom of 2X. Photos that have been zoomed in are also fine, although they appear blurry. Night mode improves noise and exposure, but it does not increase detail significantly.
Under excellent lighting conditions, the primary front camera produces decent-looking selfies. Facial features are also nice, and skin tones appear realistic overall. Portrait mode for selfies doesn’t produce the best pictures, but it’s available in case you want to use it. Selfies don’t look great in low light, but if there’s enough artificial light surrounding you, you can capture decent images.
Battery
The Oppo F17 Pro is powered by a 4000mAh battery with VOOC Flash Charge at 30watts. It takes over an hour to completely charge the smartphone. It has AI Night Charging technology, which optimizes battery charge to complete 100 percent charging at a predetermined time in the morning.
Conclusion
The smartphone delivers good value for money because of its elegant appearance, good photography abilities, and long battery life. Bloatware and the CPU, on the other hand, maybe deal breakers for others. But if you are choosing this phone to attract people through your phone and to get a quality camera phone, Oppo F17 Pro will not disappoint you.
