What we don't like about Oppo A17 (4GB + 64GB)

  • Sluggish performance due to the outdated MediaTek Helio G35 processor, leading to frequent lag
  • Uses a dated Micro-USB port instead of the modern USB-C standard
  • Very slow 10W charging that can take up to three hours for a full charge
  • Camera struggles significantly in low-light environments, producing grainy or blurry images
  • Lacks essential modern features like NFC for contactless payments and fast charging
  • Display is limited to a standard 60Hz refresh rate and HD+ resolution
  • Single mono speaker lacks depth and can distort at higher volumes

Verdict

The Oppo A17 (4GB + 64GB) is a budget-friendly 4G smartphone featuring a 6.56-inch HD+ LCD display with a standard 60Hz refresh rate, powered by an octa-core MediaTek Helio G35 processor. The main camera is a capable 50MP AI sensor paired with a 2MP depth lens, while a 5MP camera handles selfies. A major characteristic is its substantial 5000mAh battery, which provides excellent, long-lasting power, often stretching to two days of use. The phone features a premium-feeling faux-leather design and includes a 3.5mm headphone jack and IPX4 water resistance as pros. Cons include the use of a dated micro-USB port instead of USB-C, relatively slow 10W charging, and a processor that results in noticeable performance lag during heavy multitasking or demanding games. The phone runs ColorOS 12.1 based on Android 12, with storage expandable via a microSD card slot.
