OPPO R17 and R17 Pro: Price and availability in Singapore

Following its launch in Shanghai two months ago, the OPPO R17 series is now rolling out to more markets outside mainland China. Singapore is the first country to launch OPPO’s latest upper-midrange device.

The R17 Pro boasts a hidden fingerprint scanner underneath its display that sports an impressive 91.5 percent screen-to-body ratio. On the other hand, the R17 model that’s coming to Singapore will not have the in-display fingerprint reader unlike the China model.

Both phones are also rocking the smaller “waterdrop” notch we first saw on the OPPO F9.

The R17 Pro is getting Super VOOC flash charging, a feature that was once exclusive to the higher-end Find X. This charging technology promises to fully charge the phone in just 50 minutes.

In addition, both the R17 and R17 Pro are getting what OPPO calls AI Ultra-clear Engine that help take better low-light images. Ultra-night mode and the TOF 3D camera feature will roll out as software updates mid-November.

The OPPO R17 with the 6GB/128GB configuration is now available in Singapore at SG$ 699 (US$ 505). It comes in Ambient Blue and Neon Purple.

The OPPO R17 Pro will be available at a later date for SG$ 999 (US$ 721). Pre-orders will begin on November 3, and it’ll be available starting November 10.
