In December, Oppo announced the launch of its flagship smartphone - the Oppo R17 Pro in India. The smartphone was launched for Rs. 45,990 in the country alongside its downgraded variant R17. Now, it looks like it has received a price cut of Rs. 6,000 taking it down to Rs. 39,990.

Notably, the discounted pricing will be reflected on Amazon India and the company's offline retail partners as well. The smartphone is available in two color variants - Radiant Mist and Emerald Green in the country.
