Revolutionary Gradient Design
Adhering to OPPO’s design philosophy of creating artistic smartphone designs,
OPPO continuously strives to create new designs using OPPO’s fashionable
aesthetics and advanced craftsmanship. Starting with the Nebula Purple of the R15,
OPPO has been leading the trend of the industry, making gradient designs a trend
for smartphone design. The R17 introduces a brand-new “three-color and bi/quad-direction” gradient design using a light-condensing layer that enables light to flow on
the surface of the device.
Powered by innovative technologies for a seamless experience
The R17 series adopts Corning® Gorilla® Glass 6 for the first time, with a 91.5%
screen-to-body ratio and Hidden Fingerprint Unlock for the R17 Pro. The Corning®
Gorilla® Glass 6 is able to withstand a drop from a one-meter height to a rough
surface for an average 15 times, doubled that of the Gorilla Glass 5 performance.
