Oppo F17 Pro Review: Strictly Average | Camera, gaming, benchmarks By Digit

OPPO'sFCD smartphones may not look like it, but they're, actually quite popular, especially in the offline segment as stylish mid-rangers. The Oppo f17 pro that launched in India simply wants to preserve that ancestry. OPPO is claiming the sleekest chassis on a smartphone ever on the f17 pro, and I don't know about being the sleekest, but at 7.3 millimeters. It certainly feels like an extension of my body and not something that I am holding in my hand for a product that's supposed to be held in the hand at most times. This is indeed comfortably designed, but a smartphone cannot just be good looks. It also needs to perform reliably enough for daily usage and with the MediaTek hello p 95.

Under the hood on the Oppo f17 pro, I have a feeling that this smartphone might find itself quite lonely among the likes of the Realme x3, the OnePlus word or the VIVO v19. Let's see what the tests have to show hi, I'm shibujeet from digit. in and in this video we're going to review the Oppo f17 pro. Let's begin with a total of six cameras, a super AMOLED display and small interesting things like air gestures, portrait filters and 30 watt fast charging, the Oppo f17 pro seems quite well in doubt as far as the spec sheet is compared and with 8gb of ram and 128gb of storage. I'm not complaining at all.

In fact, the portrait and selfie camera tricks will easily impress a vlogger or a short video maker, and that's particularly the audience. This is aimed at. You have features like portrait, video and a color pop mode to bring out the creativity, but that's about it in a segment where smartphones are vowing to be all-rounders. The Oppo s17 pro's strongest focus is on the front cameras. You get a 16 plus 2 megapixel setup on the front capable of dishing out portrait photos and videos, along with the expected features like AI beauty and the likes.

The results are good enough for people who don't care much about the accuracy the colors pop out. The subject is strongly highlighted, but again that's about it. This noticeable noise on faces when shooting indoors, while outdoors the background, tends to get clipped completely in the day, and my skin looks completely smooth and free of blemishes that be acceptable to some people who would actively seek out the feature, but it was not for me moving on to videos from the front camera portrait video, which blurs the background, keeping the face in focus. The implementation isn't the best, but the background is noticeably blurred, putting all the focus on my face. However, the camera also brings out the white hair on my scalp quite harshly.

I'm really not that old. Good thing is: you can combine the portrait, video mode, AI filter mode and the super stable mode and use them all together with the front camera. The rear camera performance, on the other hand, could have been a lot better. There's a 48 megapixel primary camera, followed by an 8 megapixel ultra-wide and two 2 megapixel mono sensors. The last bit seems odd, and I really found no reason why a smartphone should have two of the same cameras, but if you guys really do know anything about why it's there, let us know in the comments now, in the day the output looks bright and overly saturated, and quite evidently, Oppo is over processing the images, because, when you zoom in there's very little detail in the images zoom out and there's that artificial sense of sharpness, it's not that the f17 pro is a bad camera per se.

But I would call it inconsistent. There are times when the photos come out, nice and sharp, but there are also times when it looks very over processed. The dynamic range is also not as much as what you would expect from a smartphone priced above rupees, 20, 000 and shooting with a strong backlight will either mean clipped, highlights or a silhouette subject: low light and indoors. The quality goes down drastically. There's little sharpness and images.

Look like watercolor paintings, even after using the night mode. The pictures are nowhere close to the quality we expect from smartphones in this price range. The ultra-wide lens on the Oppo f17 pros also suffers from the same issues over process, output and little dynamic range. The colors and brightness, on the other hand, are actually quite good. The rear camera advertises 4k videos, but it's best to stick to shooting in 1080p, because at 4k as is not engaged and there were significant shakes as I walked around with the phone.

The quality of videos is also nowhere close to what true 4k looks like now: dial it down to 1080p and the quality improves a lot. The shakes are more controlled and the sharpness is restored, but then I thought of getting rid of the shakes completely, so I turned on the steady mode you can see that there are these are tearing in the frame in the beginning and apparent jitters and jerks, but no shakes that it handles well enough. So that was the camera. It promises a lot but delivers very little. What about the performance? The MediaTek hello p95 was last seen on the Oppo Renault 3 pro and oppos seems to be the only one interested in using this chipset launched earlier this year the p95 uses older cortex a75 cores clocked at 2.2 gigahertz, along with 6 cortexes a55 cores clocked at 2. Gigahertz Oppo also promises an anti-lag algorithm in the smartphone to keep it from slowing down on benchmarks.

The generation gap is apparent. We have the snapdragon 720 g and even the MediaTek hello g90t that outperformed it across both CPU and GPU benchmarks. So in all likeliness, this isn't your productivity. Boosting intensive multitasking smartphone, however using the color OS 7.1 with android 10 under the hood, the Oppo f17 pro did feel smooth enough when I started using it out of the box, but as I kept running benchmarks, shooting photos and filling up the storage with apps and data. I started noticing micro stutters when launching the camera or when switching out from Call of Duty to reply to a comment on YouTube.

It's not achingly slow, but a small pause here and there somewhat masked experience when spending upwards of 20 000 on a smartphone smooth usability, in my opinion at least, should be a given and gaming should also be given high precedence, as that could act as a differentiator in this segment, but the Oppo f17 pro is not the gaming champion. You are looking for the hello p95's power, VR GPU isn't as capable as the arena and Mali GPUs, and it shows when playing a game. Now we played a few rounds of PUBG, mobile and Call of Duty, and while both of these games are playable, you won't get the best quality. PUBG mobile ran at 30 frames per second with 99 stability, which is certainly quite good, but graphics was only limited to high graphics, which means the quality won't be the best. So things like your textures draw distance, and even your grasses and buildings won't look as realistic as you would expect for a phone in this price same thing with Call of Duty Call of Duty.2 hit 58 frames per second with 96 stability, but once again the quality of graphics was nowhere close to what you would expect from high-end smartphones priced above rupees 20 000. , the 4000 my battery on the Oppo f17 pro, however, can be relied upon to last you the day at least it did for me, and the bundle 30 watt charger does its job fast enough for my liking, but I believe, with 65 watts becoming mainstream.

This too will feel outdated real soon. Finally, let's talk about the display. The Oppo f17 pro rocks a 6.4 inch AMOLED display with full HD plus resolution and 60hz refresh rate. There's gorilla glass 3 on top and an under display fingerprint sensor indoors. The panel is good for playing games and watching movies, and even the photos I took from the phone didn't look as saturated as it did on a color calibrated, monitor, there's, also no noticeable blue tint or black crush at low brightness, which makes me believe the panel is definitely a good thing about the smartphone.

Now a word about the air gestures that Oppo advertised well, there is the feature in the Oppo f17 pro, but it only works when you are trying to accept or reject a call, and that too very sparingly I mean I was just trying to complete the tutorial and there itself the Oppo f17 pro simply refused to register my gestures at least four times out of five. Now coming back to the display. Well, I did go outdoors to shoot some photos and under the bright sun the Oppo f17 pro's display looks quite washed out with the brightness not very adequate for usage. I often had to squint to see how the photos came out. So all things said and done.

The Oppo f17 pro does come across as quite average. I mean there's really nothing going on inside to justify a steep price tag, except for an ergonomic design and a well-endowed selfie camera. Now performance enthusiasts and gamers can steer clear of this smartphone while for selfie lovers, there are still some features in the Oppo f17 pro that can be deemed useful.
