Stunning design with Premium Leather-feel and Ultra-Slim Body

The OPPO A17 comes in two colour finishes; Lake Blue and Midnight Black, each offering a fresh and premium aesthetic. The back cover is made using a composite processing technique, making the phone look and feel like genuine leather. The inner texture is embossed with light leather grain and the outer layer is covered with a UV coating, making the phone comfortable to hold, but also dust-resistant and durable. 

Outstanding Camera System
For those who love to capture special moments on camera, the OPPO A17 includes a 50MP main camera and a 5MP front camera that are capable of delivering stunning photos with precision and clarity.

Powered by advanced hardware, the A17 comes packed with impressive imaging features.

Long-lasting battery with various power-saving features
The OPPO A17 is equipped with a long-lasting 5,000mAh large battery² that can provide 20 hours of phone calls or 20 hours of average view time on YouTube Video³ on a full charge.

For those who use their phone for long periods of time but have no way to charge it during the day, the Super Power Saving Mode on the OPPO A17 will kick in to help maximize every last bit of battery when the battery level drops to 10%, solving user anxiety about battery life. What’s more, the OPPO A17 also features Super Nighttime Standby that leverages AI capabilities to learn users’ sleep patterns and reduce power consumption, controlling battery use to within just 2-3% of total capacity during a single night⁴.

All-round performance with RAM Expansion technology and reliable quality
Featuring a MediaTek Helio G35 Mobile Platform, the OPPO A17 provides efficient performance with a CPU speed of up to 2.3 GHz. With OPPO’s RAM Expansion technology, the phone’s RAM capacity can be expanded by borrowing up to 4GB⁵ of unused ROM, allowing the device to run multiple memory-heavy apps with less lag.

The OPPO A17 is built for durability. More than 130 ultra-rigorous reliability tests and 320 comprehensive quality tests are conducted on each OPPO A17 phone to verify its resistance to splashes, high temperatures, high humidity, micro-drops, scratches, and other common wear and tear.

The OPPO A17 is built for convenience and efficiency with OPPO’s ColorOS 12.1. Three-Finger Translate with Google Lens can quickly translate text in a screenshot into over 100 supported languages.
