Oppo Reno17 launches 16 November with four colours and a glowing cat back

Oppo has set 16 November at 19:00 China time for the Reno17 and Reno17 Pro, with four colours, 6-second 4K Live Photos and pre-orders already open.

Key points

  • Oppo launches the Reno17 and Reno17 Pro in China on 16 November at 19:00.
  • Four colours are listed, led by the blue Encounter Cat with a 3D cat outline.
  • Specs and prices are not official yet; pre-orders opened on 30 October.

Oppo will launch the Reno17 and Reno17 Pro in China on 16 November at 19:00 local time, alongside the Watch 5 and the Pad Air 6. Pre-orders for the phones, watch and tablet opened on 30 October, and Oppo’s promotional page now shows the finished designs for the first time.

Each phone has three colour choices, according to Oppo’s China store pages. Both models share the cat-themed blue and a brown, and the white differs: Ice Moon White on the Reno17, First Snow White on the Pro. The blue, called Encounter Cat, is the one Oppo is pushing, with a cat shape on the back glass. Singer Song Yuqi, who fronts the Reno line, is again the face of the campaign.

Oppo’s own teasers confirm one camera feature: 4K Live Photos across the whole zoom range, with the clip length stretched from 3 to 6 seconds. Product manager Zhang Ruoxing has already shared sample photos from the phones.

Hardware has not been confirmed by Oppo. Tipsters say the Reno17 has a 6.57-inch screen with a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, and that the Reno17 Pro has a smaller 6.32-inch screen with a Dimensity 8550 chip. Both are also said to have a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, and the specs tipped last week put the batteries at 8,000mAh and 7,200mAh.

Memory is tipped to be the same on both phones: 8GB with 256GB, 12GB with 256GB and 12GB with 512GB. Treat that as unconfirmed until the launch.

The date comes ten days after Oppo first confirmed the series for November. Oppo has not announced prices, and nothing has been said about a launch outside China, so there is no Reno17 sale date or price for other markets to report yet.
