In what seems to have become an annual tradition that started with the OPPO R9s, OPPO has announced it will unveil a New Year’s edition of the OPPO R17 duo on December 17.
The New Year Edition models of the R-series are known for their red color and the poster for the launch hints at that being the case for the OPPO R17 and OPPO R17 Pro too. The specs will remain the same as that of the regular variants but the packaging should be different.
The event will begin at 1800 hrs and hold in Shanghai. OPPO has already opened registration for those interested in picking up either phones this holiday.
The OPPO R17 has a 6.4-inch 2280 x 1080 AMOLED display. It is powered by the Snapdragon 670 processor with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It has 16MP + 5MP dual rear cameras and a 25MP f/2.0 front-facing camera. There is also an in-display fingerprint scanner and a 3,500mAh battery.
