The OPPO Reno 17 series was initially expected to launch in China on November 9th, but that never happened. OPPO has now announced the Reno 17 series’ actual launch date in China.

OPPO has also revealed the design of the Reno 17 series. The highlight this time is a cat engraved on the back of the phone with a sparkly finish. This is only on one variant of the Reno 17 called ‘Adventure Cat’, which comes in light blue. The phone is also available in white and brown, which are more understated in comparison. OPPO has always experimented with the designs of the Reno series. The Reno 15 series has a sparkly bow, while the Reno 16 series has a 3D embossed star design.
This gives the Reno 17 series an edge over rivals, especially at a time when we’re so used to seeing similar designs on all phones.
OPPO has yet to reveal the specifications of the Reno 17 series. However, there have been leaks suggesting it will feature a 6.5-inch display, a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, and an 8,000mAh battery. The biggest upgrade here would be the battery capacity compared to its predecessor, the Reno 16.
For now, the Reno 17 series seems more like an incremental upgrade to the Reno 16 series, with the battery capacity and design getting a refresh. Other specifications might remain largely the same. OPPO is also adding some new camera features to the Reno 17 series, but the hardware may not be upgraded. So, if you already own a Reno 15 or Reno 16, you might want to stick with it.
