Oppo has launched a new design-oriented budget smartphone in Nepal. 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 latest official 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 three color options: Lake Blue, Sunlight Orange, 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 Unfortunately, it has an outdated-looking waterdrop notch over the display.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.
