Back in August, the Chinese OEM, Oppo launched the R17 Pro and the standard R17 in China. Both these phones were the first ones from Oppo to debut with a waterdrop style notch and an in-display fingerprint sensor. The phone was a much-hyped device when it launched two months ago, still that time, there was no sign of the phone launching in India. However, we have spotted a recent development on Oppo India’s official Twitter page which hints towards the launch of a new phone and we’re expecting it might be the R17 Pro which will be launched next in India.

Oppo India Hints Towards a New Phone Launch
The latest tweet of Oppo India is a 5-second video which simply shows the “R” letter in purple colour and does not reveal a lot. Also, the caption of the latest tweet reads “Stay tuned! Something new is coming up. #OPPO R-Series.” With this tweet, we sure that Oppo is hinting towards the launch of an R-series phone and the speculations point towards the fact that this new release by Oppo is likely to be the Oppo R17 Pro.
Oppo R17 Pro: Specifications and Features
The highlight of the Oppo R17 Pro is the waterdrop notch and the in-display fingerprint sensor. Apart from that, the Oppo R17 Pro boasts of a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with a Full HD+ 1080 x 2340 pixel resolution. The glass comes protected by a layer of Corning Gorilla 6, and it boasts of a screen to body ratio of 91.5%. Like we mentioned, the Oppo R17 Pro gets a similar optical in-display fingerprint sensor as the OnePlus 6T, and the company claims that it can unlock the device in just 0.41 seconds.
