The Oppo R17 stands to be a decent upgrade to the R series even if it has only been several months since the Oppo R15’s debut. Though there is no word on when the sequel would be coming out, folks were treated what the next device will have to offer.

Thanks to a video courtesy of YouTube user Myke Atty, folks were able to catch a glimpse of the in-display fingerprint reader the Oppo R17 will be sporting. The addition of the advanced biometric security feature is hardly surprising with most handsets to date already integrate the said feature.

This was on full display in the clip where a user simply touched the lower part of the bezel-less display, unlocking the phone in less than a second. The in-display fingerprint sensor fits in nicely with the maximized display that shows only a small notch with the front-facing camera, Gizmo China said.

Aesthetically, the Oppo R17 will sport a huge 6.4-inch OLED panel (2220x1080 pixels), complemented by a glass back along with an aluminum frame. Inside, it will feature a device banking on an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 670 chipset backed by 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. It also comes with a 16 MP to 20 MP dual rear camera and a front-facing 25 MP selfie shooter, GSM Arena said.

Other notable features of the Oppo R17 include seeing a device relying on a 3,500 mAh battery. The device is also dual-SIM ready, something that should appeal to folks who own more than one line.

Yet to be confirmed is the existence of a Pro version which will sport a more powerful chipset. Should it be unraveled, the device is expected to come with an overclocked Snapdragon 710 SoC. Until something official is announced, all other specs should remain the same.

For now, the attention is on the Oppo R17 which is set to start pre-orders on Aug. 18. Once this takes place, there is a chance that the Oppo R17 Pro model could finally be confirmed or not. According to Android Pure, the official launch of the device will happen on Aug. 23. Aside from shedding light on the pro model, further specs are likely to be confirmed as well.

As mentioned in a previous post, the Oppo R17 was first teased during a media event sponsored by the companies. That report tackled the first-look photos of the upcoming device, using the Oppo R15 as the baseline to determine what key features and specs the phone successor is likely to maintain or improve on.
