Oppo F17 Pro Diwali Edition is set to launch in India on Monday, October 19. The new limited edition Oppo phone will be exclusively released for Indian customers, the Chinese company announced on Wednesday. Key specifications of the smartphone are likely to be identical to the regular Oppo F17 Pro that was launched early last month. Nevertheless, you can expect some major changes on its finishing and colours to match the vibes of the festive season.
Oppo said in a media statement, “Exemplifying the colours of festivals, the Diwali limited edition F17 Pro aims to be the perfect companion and a conversation starter for the Diwali party.” This is not the first time that Oppo is launching a special edition of its smartphone to align with a major event. Last month, the company brought the Oppo Reno 4 Pro Galactic Blue Edition carrying an “MS Dhoni” branding, shortly after IPL 2020 kicked off.
