Comes in Radiant Mist (Deal Link) or Blue or Green You would be forgiven for not having heard of Oppo, but the Chinese technology company is one to watch. They have released several handsets in the UK now, and the feedback is excellent. They are building a solid following as users find their well thought-out designs and reasonable price tags something to write home about. Oppo RX17 Pro Design and Display As soon as you pick up the Oppo RX17 Pro, you will feel that this is a handset of good quality. It has the look of many smartphones with an infinity screen as the all-display style handset is one of the most popular on the market at the moment. The front-facing camera has been neatly installed in the smallest of water-drop spaces and really does not impact on the overall viewing area of the handset. It weighs 183g, which is a nice weight to hold in one hand, and you should find one-handed operation a breeze. In a break from the traditional black favoured by other manufacturers, Oppio has come up with an iridescent colour that shimmers and changes with every tilt of the phone. The Oppo RX17 Pro comes in two colours; there is Radiant Mist and Emerald Green, which makes a nice change from the norm. The handset is constructed with glass back, and front and an aluminium frame, and both glass panels are Corning Gorilla Glass, with Corning Gorilla Glass 6 on the front and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on the rear. The handset offers a 6.4-inch display which appeals to the growing group of users who like a larger screen. Bigger screens offer a better view when streaming movies or playing games. It has an 85.9% screen to body ratio, and the AMOLED capacitive touchscreen boasts 16M colours, 1080x2340 pixels, a 402 PPI density and an aspect ratio of 19.5:9 which to be fair is perfect for watching videos. When you turn the handset over the true beauty of the colours can really be seen, and apart from some branding and the camera housing, the rear is clutter free to show off on the clever colour effects. The triple rear camera is housed vertically in a traffic light arrangement and includes the flash just underneath. Oppo RX17 Pro Audio Like many phones of the time, the Oppo RX17 Pro does not have the standard 3.5mm headphone jack so you would need an adapter or wireless cans for this purpose. The sound performance from the loudspeakers is good, offering clarity and a lack of distortion so watching films will indeed be a pleasant experience in a reasonably quiet environment. Oppo RX17 Pro Camera So, the primary camera on the back features a three lens arrange, all of which work together and combine with the onboard software to create some really gorgeous offerings when it comes to getting the best images. The lenses comprise a 12 MP, f/1.5-2.4, 26mm (wide), 1/2.55, 1.4µm, Dual Pixel PDAF, OIS, a 20 MP, f/2.6, AF and a TOF 3D camera.

Inside this handset, you will find the Qualcomm SDM710 Snapdragon 710 (10 nm), with an Octa-core (2x2.2 GHz Kryo 360 Gold and 6x1.7 GHz Kryo 360 Silver) CPU and an Adreno 616 GPU. It comes running Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box which is the second to latest version, and on top of that, you have the ColorOS 5.2 which is their own skin over the top. The battery is a good size, coming in at 3700 and giving you plenty of power to do the things you need to do each day without having to return to the charger. It offers wired charging only, but there is fast battery charging, which means you can go from 0-40% in just 10 mins, which is perfect if you have somewhere you need to be. In terms of storage, they also seem to be a manufacturer that likes the removable SD card slot, so you have an additional 256 available here. The handset itself ships with a fixed internal storage of 128Gb, which is a nice size and plenty for most users. Oppo RX17 Neo £269 SIM FREE also available in BLUE or RED if the RX17 Pro is too much phone for you, maybe its little brother may interest you at £269 sim free . :o 25MP Front Camera, Fingerprint Sensor, Snapdragon 660, The Oppo RX17 Neo mirrors the design of many smartphones on the market at the moment. It is a true infinity style screen with the smallest water notch housing the front-facing camera. There are no bezels to detract from the view. It is a good-looking handset that is made of glass front and back within an aluminium frame. It has a gradient finish that seems to change colour with every fresh angle you look at the handset from. It comes in two primary colours, which are red and blue and this makes a refreshing change from having to be black. It weighs just 156g, which is a nice size and can easily be operated single-handedly while still feeling secure in the palm. Overall this is a really lovely looking handset, and the glass and aluminium combination gives it a high-end look and feel
