Oppo Reno17 Leak: 200MP Camera, Launch Date and Specs - Memeburn
Oppo’s Reno17 series could launch in China as soon as November with a 200MP rear camera, according to GSMArena, but the other leaks published the same day disagree on almost everything except the timing. One says the lineup has no Pro model and uses three 50MP cameras, another describes two models with a 200MP sensor, and a third puts a different chip inside, so the only detail that looks settled is that a new Reno is coming roughly six months after the Reno16. For buyers who picked up a Reno16 this summer, that schedule matters more than any single spec. The 200MP figure is also less new than it sounds. Oppo already used a 200MP f/1.8 main camera on the Reno16 Pro, which launched in China in May alongside three 50MP cameras, a 7,000mAh battery and a Dimensity 9500s chip, according to Notebookcheck. The open question is therefore not whether Oppo can ship a 200MP Reno, but whether that sensor moves down to the standard Reno17 or stays on a Pro that one leak says may not exist. What Do the Reno17 Leaks Actually Claim?
