OPPO R17 Pro Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Shekhar Thakran]()
Verdict
The OPPO R17 Pro comes with an impressive display, solid cameras and good overall performance. The software is our only major qualm with the handset. However, at its current retail price of Rs 45,990, it`s not a value-for-money offering. Although the Super VOOC charging technology feels like a true game-changer, we don`t know if this alone makes the phone worth buying. In comparison, you get a more powerful processor with the OnePlus 6T (review), which is priced almost Rs 10k lesser. You can also opt for the lower-priced LG G7+ ThinQ (review) or Vivo NEX (review), both of which come with the f...

Design and display

Now that even mid-range phones have upped their game in terms of design, it takes a lot for any phone to stand out from the crowd. Fortunately for OPPO, the R17 Pro manages to do that effortlessly. We got the phone's Radiant Mist variant and the purple colour blends with blue to give the handset's glass back a distinctive look. One of the major issues we usually have with phones that feature glass backs is that these panels can act as a showcase for your fingerprints. With the R17 Pro, this was not an issue as the phone's back isn't extremely reflective. Additionally, the handset does not feel overly slippery in hand either. While we are still talking about fingerprints, the R17 Pro ships with an under-display fingerprint sensor, which is still a nascent technology. That said, we found the unlock time and success rate of the fingerprint sensor quite satisfactory.

Phones with good hardware, if complemented by equally good software, can make life a lot easier. Sadly, OPPO leaves a lot to be desired in this department. The R17 Pro runs the brand's proprietary ColorOS, which is based on Android Oreo, and carries the same issues we have highlighted many times before. Don't get us wrong here, there are no major issues in terms of animations, switching between apps, or even multitasking. But there are a lot of features and pre-installed apps that don't bring significant value along. These unnecessary additions make the user interface feel more cluttered than it should be.

OPPO's R17 Pro is among the rare breed of phones in the market that features triple rear cameras. This setup includes a 12MP sensor and a 20MP sensor, along with a ToF 3D sensor. If you are wondering what a ToF (Time-of-Flight) sensor does, it essentially helps the smartphone in different scenarios like AR, depth sensing and more. In our time with the phone, we managed to take some really impressive pictures in Portrait mode. Although edge detection is not perfect, which is the case with many smartphones at this point and time, the bokeh effect in images turned out to be really good and natural instead of overly aggressive.

There are aspects of the R17 Pro that are worth debating over, but battery performance is certainly not one of them. The handset does not just provide a good battery backup, but the Super VOOC charging technology makes sure that you don't have to spend hours with your phone plugged into the charging socket. The first-of-its-kind 10V/5A proprietary charger ensures that the phone is charged completely in around 35 to 40 minutes. The phone houses two 1,850mAh battery units which get a charge of 5V/5A each.
