Oppo is a perfectly good phone in its own right.

Oppo, the selfie phone

But mention the brand, the first and sometimes only thing people mention is the crisp selfies you can take with it.

And that reputation is something Oppo openly embraces, as seen in their F3's dual frontal camera.

Their new flagship model is no different.

Smallest camera

The R17 carries on the Oppo tradition of selfie cameras with ludicrously high megapixels.

The 24 megapixel front camera with a f2.0 aperture is brought over from their "selfie master" F7 and their Find X.

But the more intriguing aspect is just how small their frontal camera notch is.

Which makes their R15 notch look almost gigantic.
