Oppo F17 Pro is teased to come with dual selfie cameras and quad rear cameras
Oppo F17 Pro and Oppo F17 are set to launch in India on September 2, Oppo announced on Thursday. This comes just days after the Chinese company started teasing the Oppo F17 series in the country. The Oppo F17 Pro is touted to debut as the “sleekest phone of 2020” with a 7.48mm thin chassis. The smartphone is also teased to carry a total of six cameras on board. The Oppo F17, on the other hand, is likely to come as a toned-down version of the Oppo F17 Pro with slight changes on the specifications front.
The launch of the Oppo F17 series will take place virtually through the company's social media channels on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube starting at 7pm on September 2, as per the official invite. The company also posted a tweet on Thursday to publicly announce the launch event.
