OPPO R17 Pro review: The fog-light gradient color plays with the trend, and the aesthetic triple camera amazes everyone

Photography technology has always been a fiercely competitive field among many mobile phone brands, especially the OPPO family, which has a fanatical pursuit of aesthetics. As we all know, as a well-known domestic mobile phone brand, the OPPO series of mobile phones has very mellow performance and photography background, especially from the OPPO R17 that will be sold in the second half of this year. In order to cater to the current fiercely competitive mobile phone market, OPPO has previously released a signal that the OPPO R17 PRO will be sold in the second half of this year, but users who have been waiting for a long time have not seen it. Fortunately, surprises always happen inadvertently. Recently, the OPPO family finally received news of the sale of OPPO R17 PRO, and I got this model as soon as possible, and I got it in advance.

The fog-light gradient color body brings out the beauty to perfection

Only colorful colors can make people feel comfortable and individual. The reason why OPPO R17 stands out in the market is that its colorful gradient color body is one of the important factors. After seeing the good market response, OPPO R17 PRO also adopts this gradient color body design style. However, unlike the three body colors of R17, streamer blue, neon purple and fog light gradient, R17 PRO only uses two body color combinations of fog light gradient and condensed light green. Although the color configuration is not as rich as R17, in terms of appearance level, R17 PRO is really no less than the former. At present, R17 PRO uses 3D fog light glass material with a new condensed light gradient process, thus achieving a mist gradient body color. The color will change under different light and different angles. This hazy beauty makes people feel very magical.

The front of the R17 PRO still uses the water drop screen style of the R17, and the size has not changed much, with a 91.5% screen-to-body ratio and a 6.4-inch 2340*1080 resolution screen. There is one difference, that is, the R17 PRO uses the sixth-generation Corning Gorilla Glass screen material, which is more wear-resistant and stronger than the R17, further improving the safety of the phone.

Currently, the R17 PRO packaging box comes with an OPPO headset and a mobile phone protective film. Users do not need to go to a mobile phone store to purchase related supporting equipment. This is so thoughtful and considerate of users. The R17 PRO really makes people feel the warmth of love.

Another difference from the R17 is that the back of the R17 PRO adopts a curved design style, which can better match the curved metal frame, thereby improving the comfort and grip of the phone when using it. In addition, the back of the phone adopts a 1200W+2000W+TOF 3D stereo triple camera combination, which supports the intelligent scene recognition function. Judging from the rear camera configuration alone, it is much better than the R17.

From the bottom of the R17 PRO, you can see that the R17 PRO is equipped with a Type-C interface, a speaker, and a dual-SIM card slot. One thing worth noting is that the R17 PRO does not use the traditional 3.5mm headphone jack, but uses Type-C headphones. Although it is easier to use, some users are worried that it will be embarrassing if the phone runs out of power while listening to music.

From the left side of the phone, you can see that the R17 PRO has the volume control designed on the left side, and a power button is installed on the right side. The overall body style gives people a sense of simplicity and comfort.

Aesthetic triple camera makes a stunning appearance

This year, mobile phones have put a lot of thought into the field of photography, and OPPO is no exception. Its rear triple-camera technology is one of the most eye-catching among many mobile phones. The R17 PRO uses a 1200W main camera + 2000W secondary camera combination on the rear, and adds a variable aperture design. It can automatically switch between f/1.5 and f/2.4 apertures in different light environments. In order to achieve better photography effects, the R17 PRO also uses the new OIS optical image stabilization technology, which can make the image quality more realistic and delicate.

The R17 PRO uses a 25MP front camera, the same as the R17. With the beauty function turned on, you can also take photos with smooth skin.

What users may care about most is its TOF stereo camera. This lens is mainly used for AR and some somatosensory games. Although the R17 PRO camera option is equipped with this mode, from the perspective of daily photography, this camera is not very useful.

Let's take a look at a few photos to give you a more intuitive feel of the powerful camera performance.

In autumn and winter, sunny streets are quite clear in wide-angle mode, and the picture capture is very rich.

Passing by a KFC on the street, the old man's beard can be captured more delicately. In sufficient light, the colors are rich and bright.

The leaves are brightly colored, green is full of vitality, and yellow is melancholy and chilly.

Kittens also love taking selfies.

The details are captured, and the image quality is very delicate, which is simply eye-catching.

In close-focus shooting with blurred background, fingerprints on the red car can be clearly seen, restoring the most realistic picture experience.

Worry-free performance, more enjoyable gaming experience

The R17 PRO is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 processor and a 6GB/8GB+128GB storage configuration, which is considered to be above average in the current smartphone market. In terms of smoothness, both memory configurations can ensure the normal operation of the game, and with the support of Hyper Boost technology, users do not need to worry about problems such as lag after long-term use.

Since the R17 PRO has a built-in game mode, it can improve the smoothness of the game to a certain extent. Some thoughtful features such as do not disturb, network protection, screenshot, recording, and notification snooze will also make users feel very practical.

There is no lag or other problems when running the popular mobile game "Honor of Kings" on the market, and the picture colors are rich and bright, providing a better entertainment experience.

After measurement, the R17 PRO AnTuTu score is close to 17W points. After a full set of data measurements, the battery is in good condition, the battery power consumption is about 5%-7%, and the temperature is only 20℃, which shows that the battery is still very healthy during operation. The CPU performance is stable and hovers between 80-100%, without a cliff-like large fluctuation.

In terms of battery life, the R17 PRO's fast charging technology is quite impressive, with a charging power of nearly 50W. This is mainly due to its SuperVOOC super flash charging technology. The R17 PRO is also equipped with a perfect combination of 2 1850mAh dual-cell batteries. The powerful configuration allows the charging efficiency to be quickly improved, and the battery can be fully charged to 40% in 10 minutes.

The current price of R17 PRO is 4299 yuan. In terms of configuration, R17 PRO has reached the level of flagship phones, especially its dual aperture function and rear triple camera combination have greatly improved the shooting performance compared to R17. In terms of usage, the standard SuperVOOC super fast charging technology charges very quickly, which is not comparable to the current general models.

Of course, although the R17 PRO looks good in all aspects, its true strength still needs to be judged by the market.
