Out of these two, the standard variant i.e. Oppo R17 is already listed on company official portal revealing the official Render, colours and key specifications of the device. Earlier rumors indicated an official launch on AUgust 18, but now we knwo that the launch will happen on AUgust 23 while the pre-orders probably will start from August 18.
Official teasers / videos from Oppo Social media channels in China reveal that Oppo R17 Pro may feature a camera with variable aperture which can be adjusted automatically or manually based on lighting conditions just as we have seen in Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy Note 9. The feature is termed as “smart aperture” that switches intelligently between the f/1.5 and the f/2.4 apertures depending on the lighting conditions. Another teaser suggest that R17 Pro is equipped with three-axis OIS optical image stabilization.
A handson video of Oppo R17 has surfaced featuring the in-display fingerprint sensor and the waterdrop screen which matches with the official press renders of the device. Have a look:
