Oppo is getting ready to launch their latest smartphone – the Reno17 Pro smartphone on Monday, the 16th of November in China. What makes this announcement special is that it will bring a high-res primary camera to the table and could shake-up the mid-range smartphone space in a positive way. This launch has been officially announced on the Chinese social network – Weibo – indicating a shift from "what if's" to an actual product that'll be available for you to get your hands on. So if you're one of those people looking forward to a step-up in the Reno series of smartphones, you'll now have a date to look forward to.
Triple 50 MP rear cameras support 4K video at 60 fps
The Reno17 Pro is a part of the Reno17 lineup, which also includes a vanilla model with a different camera setup. The vanilla model (Reno17) comes equipped with four 50 MP cameras (selfie and telephoto included). The Reno17 Pro, on thet other hand, is focused on a triple rear camera setup.
Specifications
- Main Camera Resolution: 200 MP
- Rear Camera Count: 3 cameras (all 50 MP)
- Video Recording Capability: 4K at 60 fps
- Design Features: Flat metal frame, square camera module, punch-hole display
You get to see a similar design language across the two models, including a flat metal body and the square camera hump. The display is also a punch-hole type, which means that the overall look of the phones is pretty regular but the entire lineup is quite similar.
What makes the Reno17 Pro stand out, in terms of technology, is the camera setup. They've included a whopping 200 MP primary camera sensor as the primary camera. This is a considerable upgrade from the earlier models in terms of resolution.
Oppo claims that all the rear cameras (three in total) on the Pro model are capable of recording videos at 4K and 60 fps. That's right! You can record 4K videos at 60 fps using all rear cameras.
As for any potential tweaks to the hardware before the phone goes on sale, there might be some in the works thanks to the general market situation. According to industry speculation, a current DRAM crisis may mean downgrades in the hardware of the upcoming successor model. But these are not confirmed changes and the official specifications haven't shown any such thing either. (There could be potential tweaks to the hardware due to market conditions. Not confirmed.)
Oppo has officially announced that the launch for the Reno17 series is set for Monday, 16th November. The Reno17 Pro comes with a 200 MP primary camera. You get three 50 MP rear cameras.
All three rear cameras of the Pro model are capable of 4K video recording at 60 fps. The phone will go on sale in China starting from the officially announced launch date.
