We experience different phone models for you in every issue. This month, OPPO's flagship RX17 Pro, which has recently entered our country, visited our test center.
Review: Fatih SARI
We have shared with you the tests of dozens of manufacturers' products on these pages. In this issue, we are reviewing OPPO's RX17 Pro model, which has recently entered our country. When the product was first released, especially technology writers expressed opinions that the device was too expensive for the Turkish market. I also agree about the price of the product. However, OPPO is not a brand that determines prices according to countries. They have a consistent price policy and take their place in the market with similar prices in every country.
According to the information sent by the manufacturer, OPPO RX17 Pro is the first smartphone in the world with a waterdrop screen and sparkling body design. This information needs confirmation, but it is certain that it offers the fastest charging time among the phones I have experienced so far. The RX17 Pro model offers Super VOOC fast charging technology to its users. Thanks to Super VOOC, 40 percent charging is achieved in 10 minutes, and 100 percent charging is achieved in 40 minutes.
OPPO RX17 Pro offers a premium image with “northern lights” and “emerald green” colors. The unique shape of the RX17 Pro's notch is inspired by a drop of water caught before it falls. It attracts all the attention thanks to its waterdrop display (6.4-inch screen makes up 91.5 percent of the front face) and 3D curved design.
One Step Ahead in Night Photos
The RX17 Pro brings a different perspective to the world of smart phones with its triple camera, waterdrop screen and in-screen fingerprint sensor. It is possible to take good photos during daylight hours with most "premium" phones, also called flagships. However, night shooting requires different expertise. Thanks to the F1.5 / F2.4 smart aperture camera and OIS optical stabilization in the RX17 Pro, the subtlest lights combine into clear, bright images. Thanks to the Artificial Intelligence Ultra Clarity Engine, pressing a button is all it takes to capture night action.
The glass used in the OPPO RX17 Pro model also attracts attention. OPPO, which is the first manufacturer in the world to use "CGG6" glass, dropped the product from 1 meter onto different surfaces 15 times in laboratory tests and tested it.
RX17 Pro offers very fast computing performance and application launch with 6 GB RAM and Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 chipset. ColorOS 5.2, the latest version of OPPO's smart, efficient operating system and user interface, makes it easier to use. The recommended retail price for RX17 Pro is 4999 TL.
