Pros and cons

According to our mobile phone expert

Take sharp selfies with the 25-megapixel front camera.
Unlock your phone with the fingerprint scanner in the screen.
Store your apps, music, and pictures thanks to the 128GB memory.
The phone doesn't have NFC, so you can't make contactless payments.

Description

If you're looking for a phone to stand out with, you'll be all set with the bright, multi-color design of the OPPO RX17 Neo. Another striking feature is the fingerprint scanner, which isn't located on the phone's back panel but on the front, below the screen. The 6.4-inch Full HD screen has a small notch and shows every detail of your favorite series or YouTube video. Prefer viewing your own portrait? The 25 megapixel front-facing camera lets you take sharp selfies. The rear camera works really well in the dark thanks to the large aperture opening. You can save all your photos, videos, and apps on the 128GB memory.

Review is 9,3 out of 10.

Beautiful smartphone with high-end specs for a low price.

Nice and sleek design
Very good screen
Mid-range smartphone with some high-end specs
ColorOS could be more user-friendly

It is a mid-range smartphone that has a lot of features that you expect in the higher segment. It looks good, and is nice and fast, although Oppo's own ColorOS takes some getting used to, and it is not always logical. The camera is top notch, and the battery easily lasts a whole day, or even longer. The micro USB is no longer of this time. This should have had a USB-C connector.

Price-quality a very good smartphone

Screen quality
Quality camera
Battery life
Charges very slowly

Overall, it's a very good smartphone, especially for the price you pay for it. Camera is very good and the quality of the screen is also very good. What bothers me is how slow the phone charges. The operating system is an easy system, but takes some getting used to.

Review is 8,7 out of 10.

Good device but lacks fast charging function

Good fingerprint sensor
Quick Face Unlock
Fast Snapdragon chip
Color OS peel

The first thing that strikes you is that the device looks good and feels solid. The device does feel a bit flat, which I personally find less pleasant.

As soon as you turn on the device, you see a beautiful screen with a nice contrast and therefore deep colors. The screen is said to be the same as what is in the Oneplus 6T and I believe that right away. I therefore suspect that the sensor that is used for unlocking with your finger behind this display is also taken from that oneplus 6t. This works very smoothly, just like the facial recognition.

The shell Oppo has put over the device, called Color OS, is easy to use and adds some fun gimmicks, such as moving the phone to your ear to start a call, pick it up or take it off the speaker. Swipe across the screen with three fingers and you have your screen shot is also one of those nice extra options. My only regret was that a lot of notifications are not displayed in the notification bar and that there is no app drawer. All your apps are actually on your home screen.

The processor used feels smooth and stable. Hiccups therefore rarely occur. Heavy games are difficult to play because the processor and RAM are simply not strong enough. But if you don't game much, this is a great device.

Then the battery life, and especially the charging, was the stumbling block for me. I am not a heavy user for my phones but the battery does not last 2 days for me. Halfway through the second day, the device needs to be charged, which unfortunately goes very slowly. Putting the phone on the charger before going to sleep seems like a good solution, but I wonder if the battery likes this when it's still 60% full. The battery life itself is therefore not that bad, with average consumption it should last a full day, I suspect, but a quick charge in between is unfortunately not included. This should and can be done better in 2019 for a device of this price. This is the reason I returned the device.

It's nice that Oppo sends a transparent silicone cover in the box as standard. However, other types of covers are very difficult to find for this model, which may be a reason for some people not to purchase the device.
