Oppo R17: A 2018 waterdrop-notch phone with an in-display fingerprint sensor.
SpecEagle Editorial·Aug 2018·$540·Score 58/100
R17 was one of the earliest mainstream phones with an under-display fingerprint sensor, paired with a tiny waterdrop notch — a design template that defined the late-2018 mid-range. The SD670 was mid-tier, but the style and tech were ahead of the pack.
