Unveiling the OPPO F17: A Stylish Mid-Ranger with Emphasis on Design and Selfies (Launched in 2020)

The OPPO F17, which came out in late 2020, still gets attention in the used phone market. It's known for its good looks, especially its design and selfie camera. It also lasts a long time on a single charge. Let's check out its features and how much it cost back then to see if it's still worth buying in 2024.


Display and Looks


The OPPO F17 has a big 6.44-inch screen with sharp and colorful images, great for watching stuff and playing games. It's got this cool design with a smooth plastic back that changes color in different lights. You can pick from different colors, and it's got a fingerprint sensor on the screen for security. 


Speed and Power


It runs on a chip called Snapdragon 662, which handles everyday stuff well. It's got enough memory (4GB or 8GB) to do many things at once, like using social media or browsing the web. But if you're into heavy games or apps, it might struggle a bit.


Space and Software


You can get it with either 128GB or 256GB of storage, and you can add more with a memory card. It came out with ColorOS 7.2, based on Android 10. It might not get the latest updates now, but it probably got at least one big update before.



Camera


The camera is great for selfies, with a 16MP front camera. On the back, there's a setup with four cameras, including a 16MP main one, an 8MP wide-angle, and two 2MP ones for depth and close-up shots. It's good but might not be as good as newer phones.


Battery and Charging


The battery is decent, lasting all day with normal use. But by now, it might not last as long as it did when it was new. It charges pretty fast though, with 30W charging.


Price 


Back then, it started at around PKR 37,999 (about USD 130). Now, you can find it used for different prices depending on where you look.



Conclusion


The OPPO F17 was stylish and had a good camera and battery when it came out. But in 2024, it might not be as fast or have the latest features compared to newer phones. Before buying it, check if it's worth it compared to newer options with better performance and features.
