The OPPO Reno 17 series is set to launch in China on November 16th. Ahead of the big reveal, OPPO has been teasing the Reno 17, with the design already unveiled. The Reno 17 features a 3D cat this time as the design highlight. Now, OPPO has revealed the camera details of the Reno 17. Here’s what to expect.
OPPO Reno 17 camera specs
The OPPO Reno 17 is confirmed to feature a 50MP primary camera, a 50MP periscope telephoto lens, and a 50MP ultra-wide lens on the back. Up front, the phone will house a 50MP ultra-wide selfie camera. So it’s a 50MP camera stack on the Reno 17. This might be seen as a downgrade compared to the Chinese Reno 16, which has a 200MP main camera. The rest of the specs remain the same. It’s, however, similar to the Indian Reno 16, which also offers the same 50MP quad-camera setup.
The Reno 17 may not offer hardware upgrades, but it’s getting some dedicated camera features. One of these is said to be the industry’s first six-second-long live videos. You’ll also be able to add stickers to live videos, which can move with the people and objects in the scene. OPPO says you can make personalised stickers out of things like the milk tea you drank or the music you listened to, and turn your photos into your own digital diary. The Reno 17 uses AI to recognise the subject of the scene so you can freely adjust the sticker layers. OPPO is known to offer a wide variety of camera features in its Reno series, giving the phones an edge over rival brands.
These features could appeal to social media creators and younger users who like to experiment with such photo editing tools. However, we’ll have to see if the Reno 17 cameras show any improvement over the Reno 16 or not. So, if you already own a Reno 16 or Reno 15, you might want to wait for reviews to see if there are any significant upgrades. However, those planning to shift to a premium mid-range phone for its design and cameras might find the Reno 17 worth waiting for.
