August 23, 2018, Shanghai, OPPO, a leading global smartphone brand, dedicated to providing products infused with art and innovative technology, officially released two new R series products - OPPO R17 and R17 Pro. With the new product positioning of the R series, OPPO R17 and R17 Pro adopt revolutionary gradient design and a number of innovations to bring users a smartphone series that combines artistic design and elegant technologies. The R17 series fully demonstrates OPPO’s innovation and leadership in mobile phone design.
Brian Shen, Assistant Vice President of OPPO and Head of Marketing in China, said:
“OPPO insists on creating products with ‘beauty’ and aims to create beautiful products from two dimensions; design and technology. Under the guidance of this concept, we have brought two new masterpieces, R17 and R17 Pro, to our users. The R17 series breaks with previous R series' product updates by incorporating new and powerful technological innovations to bring users even more surprises."
An experiential launch, at the intersection of fashion and technology, the OPPO R17 series created an amazing night with the theme "Night Matters". The flowing colors and vitality guided the visitors to a place of wonder. Far from an ordinary launch conference, this immersive and experiential show presented the best of fashion and technology. Through a refreshing interactive exhibition, the launch offered visitors an innovative and unique technology journey full of visual impact and emotion. Design and night shooting experience area of OPPO R17 Series
Every aspect of this launch showcased OPPO’s thoughtful design. The TOF 3D photo experience area consisted of a ring-shaped light and statues of David and Venus. The TOF technology can capture and display the sculptures on the mobile phone. The flash charging experience area, composed of light-balls and a flowing process, simulated electronic energy transmission – the faster the balls lit up, the faster the charging speed. By comparing VOOC and SuperVOOC, guests could intuitively feel the charging speed of SuperVOOC is twice as fast as VOOC. The most eye-catching thing perhaps was a rotating device consisting of hundreds of gradient glasses, making light flow and change. OPPO also created a twilight-story photo area, Hidden Fingerprint Unlock experience area, and more interactive devices. This wonderful interactive pavilion will soon be open to the public so they can also experience the magical night created by the OPPO R17 series. OPPO has always been exploring in-depth ways to interact with users and the OPPO R17 is just another example of this.
