Oppo Reno 17 Series to Launch November 16 with 50MP Periscope Camera

Oppo plans to unveil its Reno 17 smartphone series alongside the Pad Air 6 tablet on November 16, according to technology outlet IT Home.

The upcoming Reno 17 lineup includes a base model and a Pro variant featuring four color options, highlighted by an “Encounter Cat” edition that displays a raised, three-dimensional cat graphic on the rear panel. IT Home reported that the devices will introduce advanced camera capabilities, including 4K live photo shooting that captures up to six seconds of animated footage compared to three seconds on previous generations.

Leaks indicate both handsets will pack a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens. The standard Reno 17 carries a 6.57-inch display, while the Pro version uses a 6.32-inch screen. Processing power differs between the two, with the base model expected to run on a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chip and the Pro variant utilizing MediaTek’s Dimensity 8550.

Alongside the smartphones, Oppo will introduce the Watch 5 smartwatch and the Pad Air 6 tablet at the Chinese launch event. According to reporting from 25H, the Oppo Pad Air 6 features a 12.1-inch LCD screen with a 2800 by 1980 resolution, a 120-hertz refresh rate, and 900 nits of peak brightness.

The tablet runs on a Dimensity 7360 Super processor paired with up to 12 gigabytes of RAM and 256 gigabytes of storage. That device maintains a 10,050 milliamp-hour battery with 33-watt fast charging, four speakers, and 8-megapixel front and rear cameras within a 6.89-millimeter body weighing 603 grams.

Oppo has not yet announced pricing or release dates for the Reno 17 series or the Pad Air 6 in international markets.
