Oppo Reno 17 5G and Reno 17 Pro 5G to Feature 3 Major Upgrades This Year
Smartphone giant Oppo is preparing to launch the all-new Oppo Reno series for 2027, which includes Reno 17 and Reno 17 Pro.
These phones are expected to get major upgrades this year, including improvements to the display, processor, camera, and battery, along with updated pricing to replace the current Reno 16 flagships.

1. Display Upgrade
The Oppo Reno 17 and Reno 17 Pro are expected to get a 6.5-inch front panel, while the Reno 17 Pro will get a smaller 6.3-inch panel; Oppo hasn’t explained much about why the 17 Pro has a smaller display.
In contrast, on the upgrade part, the Reno 17’s display screen-to-body ratio will be further pushed to around 92% from the previous 89%; that could reduce the selfie shooter camera size and reduce the surrounding bezel size, and both the Reno 17 and Reno 17 Pro will support a 144Hz refresh rate with an even brighter display.
