Hot on the heels of launching OPPO F17 Pro, OPPO Sri Lanka is launching its latest model in the F series OPPO F17 in Sri Lanka. “OPPO F17 carries the F-series gene, combining outstanding design while extending its focus into Fast Charge and seamless entertainment. For users whose phones are always within arm’s reach, F17 incorporates a suite of features that makes sure your eyes are always cared for as it satisfies your recreational needs,” commented Bob Li, CEO of Xinda Lanka (OPPO Sri Lanka) at the launch.

Lightweight and Stylish Leather-like Design
With leather-like back cover and the laser-engraved patterns which make the phone look like a trendy fashion accessory, the OPPO F17 is a light smartphone that provides a sense of novelty and luxury while giving users a way to elegantly stand out. The smartphone comes in two colors - Navy Blue and Dynamic Orange.

Another element that enhances the sense of luxury is the camera design on the back cover, which showcases a perfectly balanced four camera 2x2 array design that’s inspired by high-end watches. The 2.5D curved body gives this phone a simpler style and flatter body than conventional 3D curved designs. This one-piece body provides a new, unique aesthetic for mobile phones and provides users a better feel when they’re holding the phone. And to complete the stylish look, F17’s middle frame incorporates a thin design that uses narrower and more delicate front bezel, resulting in a thinner and lighter body. 

30W VOOC Flash Charge
F17’s 4015mAh battery (typical) uses 30W VOOC Flash Charge which allows for a full charge in just 56 minutes, or 72% in only 30 minutes. OPPO F17 also provides additional battery saving technology like Super Power Saving Mode which extends the low battery through a series of power saving strategies upto 17 hours and Super Night-time Standby which perform ultra power saving optimization at night by learning the user's sleeping habits.

Well-designed Display that’s Comfortable on the Eyes
Whilst F17’s Sunlight Screen keeps your eyes comfortable by automatically adjusting the brightness in well lit environments to enhance screen visibility the AI Smart Backlight learns how you manually adjust your screen’s brightness in different scenarios. Moonlight Screen automatically sets your screen’s lowest brightness and F17’s DC Dimming eliminates screen flickering to relieve the user's eye strain when they watch videos or use social media apps.Rounding out the state-of-the-art display is F17’s In-display fingerprint scanner which provides advanced security for faster and more accurate recognition than side or back fingerprint detectors deliver. 

Smooth and all-round Entertainment Experience
As Hyper Boost 2.1 allows apps and games to respond quicker and the entire system to run more smoothly, 8GB memory with 128GB storage ensures that gaming experiences will have less lag even after the phone’s been in use for a while.

OPPO’s RAM+ anti-lag and OF2FS optimizes speed and performance by efficiently expanding the available memory in the system and improves the storage performance while alleviating lag caused by system aging. 

Through OPPO F17’s Dual Channel Network Acceleration both Wi-Fi and the mobile network is leveraged to ensure high network stability especially when Wi-Fi is poor whilst Bullet Notifications and Floating Window Reply ensure that one will not be interrupted in the middle of a game. 

Capture the moment with AI powered Cameras
The 16MP main camera in F17 is enhanced by AI Dazzle Color, a feature that makes colors more vibrant or beautifies portraits based on the surrounding environment brightness and colors through deep learning algorithms whilst making one look best with AI Beautification 2.0, which automatically removes blemishes, retains skin texture, and adjusts to the user’s skin color allowing for clearer and brighter photos. 

Also, as Front Night Mode enables users to get clear selfies with rich details in dim environments, F17’s Steady Video Mode leverages Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) to output stable and clear videos in dynamic scenes. Furthermore, the first-party Soloop video editing app easily enables users to generate complete short videos to be uploaded onto short video platforms using only one tap. 

Using Smoothly and Efficiently with ColorOS 7.2
ColorOS 7.2 in OPPO F17 delivers practical features that will continue to delight users. Whilst the Icon Pull-Down Gesture allows users to open hard-to-reach apps at the top of the home screen when they only have one hand free to hold and control the phone the 3-finger Screenshot feature empowers users to grab as much or as little of the content they see on their screen for future reference or to share with their friends. 

OPPO F17 with 8 GB + 128 GB is now available in two colors - Navy Blue and Dynamic Orange with a retail price of Rs.54,990 at Abans, Singhagiri, Dialog, Daraz on-line store and all authorized OPPO dealers island-wide with all purchases till 7th November been entitled to a free OPPO branded T-Shirt.
