Price and Availability details in Nepal
The price of Oppo R17 in India is Rs 34,990 which in Nepal will be around Rs 55000. R17 never came to Nepal but you can find the pro version ie, R17 pro. the price of R17 pro is Rs 55,990.
R17 is a wonderful phone with strong processes and good camera quality. But for the price point, you can get a better phone now with better specs. Yes, it isn’t available in Nepal, but the pro version has the same story.
The R17 Pro runs on octa-core Snapdragon 710 chipset which is better than the R17. The design looks the same but the Pro has 3 cameras on the back.
In my opinion, both R17 and R17 Pro aren’t for 2020. With many smartphones being launched with a powerful OS and great camera in the budget. The R17 has no chance of competing with them.
