Photography with cutting-edge camera technology
The front of the phone boasts a dual cam that empowers to take beautiful selfie portraits easily that uses hardware-level processing to add a Bokeh effect to a photo. In fact with Dual Lens Bokeh, not only portrait selfie photographs could be captured, but the feature has been upgraded to support both videos and multiple-people in the shot. With software-level AI processing, the finest of details on a person including their earrings and hair are accounted for and won’t end up being blurred out in the final footage.
AI portrait colour in F17 Pro enables one to capture fashionable urban street style photos or travel photos from a new perspective by making portraits pop with colour. AI portrait colour mutes the background colours black and white, while enhancing the natural colours of the person or a group of people within the photo using AI.
AI super clear portrait guarantees that even the finest facial details like the eyebrow are clearly represented, or can even be reconstructed, while AI Beautification 2.0 enhances the natural skin tone and adds fuller and more pronounced eye features on women. On men, AI Beautification 2.0 enhances their eyes, beard and eyebrows.
Also the AI night flare portrait in F17 Pro is an Oppo-exclusive feature that combines the Bokeh effect and lowlight-HDR algorithms to capture artistic photos that adds beautiful night flares on portrait photos shot against the backdrop of city lights. AI super night portrait makes sure that the selfie results in a brightened and clear shot even in low light conditions.
On top of these features that will add a professional flair to photos, the third generation of ultra steady video enables one to effortlessly film a vlog while walking down the street but ensure that the capturing is stabilised which results in clearer and sharper videos.
Ultra steady video uses a hardware-software solution that combines the electronic image stabilisation algorithm with an embedded gyroscope within the front-facing camera which enables to capture the moment, on-the-go or even on-the-run, without the jittery footage.

With only a five minute charge, one can either get four hours of talk time, two more hours to browse Instagram, or 36 mins of PUBG gaming while it only takes 53 minutes to fully replenish the battery.
F17 Pro even introduces ways to optimise the phone’s battery life. At night, AI Night Charging uses AI Learning through machine learning to learn the user’s sleep habits and charge the phone exactly to 100% upon the moment they wake up from their slumber.
