OPPO’s R17 Pro launches in Europe as the RX17 Pro

OPPO is going far and wide with its latest R-series phone.

The RX17 Pro, known as the R17 Pro everywhere else in the world, has just been unveiled in Milan, Italy. And yes, folks, it’s the exact same phone with a slightly different name. OPPO reps explained that someone else owned the rights to the R-naming convention in the continent, hence the change.

The first OPPO release in Europe, the Chinese smartphone brand plans to penetrate the market with the 6.4-inch stunner that’s been previously unveiled in China and Singapore. It’s the same beautiful phone which features a teardrop notch and a purple-green gradient back that OPPO has dubbed “Radiant Mist.”

The handset features a 25-megapixel selfie camera and three rear cameras which include a main 12-megapixel dual-aperture camera, a 20-megapixel shooter, and a 3D TOF depth sensor.

It runs on a Snapdragon 710 processor with 6GB of memory and 128GB of storage. And finally, a first for an OPPO R-series phone, this device features a USB-C port. It’s also equipped with SuperVOOC charging which ensures zero to 100 percent in just 35 minutes.

The RX17 Pro is available in Europe starting November 15 and it retails for EUR 599.
