Currently, there are three smartphone lines coming our way from OPPO. The latter, which leads the Chinese smartphone market according to the latest data, offers products with A, R, and Find prepositions. If the A means we are dealing with a budget phone, the R means it is a flagship. As for the Find series, it can be treated as an experimental line. Well, we knew there will be a new flagship carrying the letter R. Today, the alleged OPPO R17 leaked on spy photos, showcasing completely changed design when comparing to the current R15 models.
Though the OPPO R17 doesn’t sport a ‘new’ design, many netizens have managed to praise it. Of course, in comparison to the OPPO R15 smartphones, this model has a narrower notch, carrying the camera sensor only. But agree we have seen it on various smartphones such as the SHARP AQUOS S3 Mini / R2. Moreover, the upcoming Nubia Z18 is assumed to sport an identical design as well. So we should state the OPPO R17’s design won’t be innovative.
