Ahead of the launch, the brand has shared official teasers with key details about the camera setup including a 50MP periscope telephoto sensor and a 50MP ultra-wide front camera. Here’s what we know so far.
OPPO Reno 17 Series Camera Specifications Leak
According to the latest teasers shared by Oppo, the upcoming Reno 17 series will feature a 50MP primary camera, a 50MP periscope telephoto camera, a 50MP ultra-wide rear camera and a 50MP ultra-wide selfie camera.
OPPO has officially confirmed this four-camera configuration for the standard Reno 17 through its promotional teasers. The company is highlighting the phone’s ability to capture Live Photos across different focal lengths including with the front camera. These include:
- Ultra HD True Color Live
- 6 second Live Photo
- Reno Live Color Palette / Video
- Live Action Stickers
- Live Jigsaw Puzzle 🧩
- Fisheye Creative Lens
- Multi-functional POP Camera
Alongside the camera hardware, OPPO is highlighting several Live Photo features for the Reno 17 series. These include Live Photo capture across different camera focal lengths including wide-angle selfies, and a feature that allows users to create Live Photos from 4K videos.
The company is also introducing a Live Photo colour palette with options such as Clear and Amber that allows users to adjust the appearance of their shots. Other teased features include subject-following stickers that track movement within a Live Photo along with options to arrange stickers and cutouts across multiple layers.
OPPO has also shown Live Photo collage features that allow subjects to extend beyond the boundaries of individual image frames, creating a layered visual effect.
OPPO Reno 17 To Feature Four 50MP Cameras
Here is the camera hardware revealed at a glance:
| Camera | Expected specification |
| Main rear camera | 50MP |
| Ultra-wide rear camera | 50MP |
| Periscope telephoto camera | 50MP |
| Front camera | 50MP ultra-wide |
50MP Periscope Telephoto and Ultra-Wide Selfie Camera Explained
Two of the more interesting parts of the Reno 17’s camera setup are the 50MP periscope telephoto camera and the 50MP ultra-wide front camera. A periscope telephoto camera allows smartphones to offer greater optical zoom while keeping their camera modules relatively compact.
A 50MP periscope camera could mean more detailed zoomed-in photographs particularly when capturing distant subjects. Meanwhile, the 50MP ultra-wide selfie camera could also make the Reno 17 more versatile for front-camera photography.
OPPO has already shared a sample showcasing a 0.6x group selfie giving an idea of the wider field of view. The company is also promoting natural colour reproduction and the ability to preserve lighting and shadow details in Live Photos.
OPPO Reno 17 Pro Camera Specifications: What’s Different?
The camera specifications of the standard Reno 17 are now known but the Reno 17 Pro remains a question mark.
The latest tipster post mentions a 50MP main camera for the Reno 17 series, but it is unclear whether the Pro model will also adopt this sensor. OPPO has not yet confirmed whether the Reno 17 Pro will move away from the 200MP primary camera used by its predecessor in China.
For now, the standard Reno 17 is the only model for which the four-camera 50MP arrangement has been officially teased. The Pro model’s primary camera resolution and the rest of its camera configuration still need confirmation.
OPPO Reno 17 Series Launch Date
OPPO will unveil the Reno 17 and Reno 17 Pro in China on November 16, 2026, at 7 PM local time.
The launch event will also see the introduction of the OPPO Watch 5 and OPPO Pad Air 6.
