Oppo Reno 17 Series Leak: Battery Specs and Charging
A key feature revealed in the most recent leak concerning the Oppo Reno 17 series is its battery life. The standard model of the Reno 17 is anticipated to have a big 6,800mAh battery cell, whereas the Reno 17 Pro goes up to an extremely large 7,200mAh capacity.
The two devices are expected to combine these large capacities with 100W-class wired fast charging.
