OPPO in partnership with Abans on Wednesday unveiled the latest addition to the A series family of smartphones, the OPPO A17 series.

Weighing approximately 189 g with a thickness of around 8.29 mm, the A17 series is easier to carry and operate. In addition to the 50 PM main camera, A17 comes with a 5 MP front camera, advanced imaging features such as 360° Fill Light, Portrait Retouching, HDR, and more. The phone is also equipped with a long-lasting 5000 mAh battery, with features such as Super Power Saving Mode and Super Nighttime Standby to maximise battery life.
