The smartphones feature a metal and glass construction and showcase the distinct waterdrop-like notch that has been the identity of the flagship Oppo and Realme smartphones lately.

The highlight of the RX17 Pro is the camera because it has three of them! There’s a 12 MP camera with an f/1.5-2.4 variable aperture (similar to the Galaxy S9) and OIS. The second camera at the back is 20 MP unit with an f/1.6 aperture and the third, a Time of Flight (TOF) 3D sensing camera that is basically in place to gather depth data, which also then allows users to add fancy effects. Being an Oppo device, selfies are important, which is why there is a 25 MP f/2.0 aperture camera at the front.

You get the usual connectivity options including dual SIM 4G VoLTE, Bluetooth v5.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 ac, GPS, NFC and a Type-C port. The fingerprint reader sits in the display.

The device runs Oppo’s ColorOS 5.2 with Android 8.1 Oreo as the base software and is powered by a 3,700 mAh unit which the company claims can be charged from 0-40 percent in just 10 minutes thanks to SuperVOOC Flash Charge support.
