The device flaunts a super AMOLED panel which will provide you with a great and spectacular visual experience. It is a phone to go for if you want a powerful battery with fast charging support.
But if you are looking for a higher refresh rate in your smartphone and want a device for good gaming, you must not opt for the Oppo F17 Pro. It also comes with a mediocre camera and optical features. Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro might be the best options for you to opt for instead of Oppo F17 Pro. But it doesn’t mean that the smartphone is not worth it though. It has its own charms.
