Oppo F17 Pro Diwali Edition is scheduled to be released in India on Monday, October 19th. The new limited edition Oppo phone will be released exclusively for Indian customers, the Chinese company announced on Wednesday. The smartphone’s main specs will likely be identical to the regular Oppo F17 Pro that was released early last month. However, you can expect some major changes to its finish and colors to match the festive season vibes.
Oppo said in a media statement: “Exemplifying festival colors, the limited edition Diwali F17 Pro is intended to be the perfect companion and conversation starter for the Diwali party.” This isn’t the first time Oppo has released a special edition of its smartphone to line up with a big event. Last month, the company brought out the Oppo Reno 4 Pro Galactic Blue Edition branded as “MS Dhoni”, shortly after the start of IPL 2020.
