OnePlus News & Updates

[Jonas]

OnePlus 8 Pro has been a pretty good phone, I was almost going to get one. Waiting for the new releases of this year.

MKBHD pretty much summed up everything in this video. I didn't know that the OnePlus One phone that I had, was a rebranded Oppo phone.

I read somewhere in this forum that 8T was also rebranded of some Oppo phone.
Besides parent company of both brands is same, and OnePlus is manufactured at Oppo factory.

And that increases my interest in the Oppo phones. Even more when the company makes phones such as Find X2.

Also wondering what Carl Pei is up to nowadays.

OnePlus announces merger with Oppo

OnePlus and Oppo have announced plans to merge into a single company. Under the terms of the merger, OnePlus will continue to operate independently.

Under the terms of the deeper partnership, the two smartphone brands will share teams and resources, as they have done more discretely in the past. Nevertheless, OnePlus will be able to “operate independently.”

Next Oppo will merge with Vivo?

[EDIT] Official statement - A New Journey for OnePlus

Leaked document affirms what many suspected: OnePlus is becoming an OPPO subbrand

A leaked document has affirmed that OnePlus is becoming an Oppo subbrand, and it has also aroused fears about the future of OyxgenOS.

This could mean that big changes are coming to OxygenOS, though it’s too early to tell. If it were being discussed internally, OnePlus would not want public relations staff to give a definitive statement on the off chance that the company contradicts them later on. Even if a decision hasn’t been made yet on the fate of OxygenOS, it’s better to stay silent and not give any answer, which is possibly the tactic being employed here. OnePlus already switched its phones to run Oppo’s ColorOS software in China, so if you are worried that OxygenOS will become more like RealmeUI (which is basically a ColorOS skin), then there’s a chance that could happen here.

Their main strength is the UI, hardware wise there is usually an equivalent model available from Oppo anyways. They could potentially launch two models of their flagships going forward, one with the cartoon UI that Oppo uses and one with oxygen os
