The Ultimate Review
The Oppo R17 is a good device that has some of the best features and specifications for the mid price range segment.
The cameras take decent images. The colour reproduction is natural and crisp.
The device has a 3500mAh battery that lasts you for almost a day and a half which is good but the device does not have a fast charging functionality.
The device is expensive for the Mid range segment and there are better phones on offer in the market.
