OnePlus will deepen its integration with Oppo

16 June 2021
The two companies already merged some teams and combined resources - that proved to work so well that now the two are getting even closer.

Neekname, 16 Jun 2021A good time to ditch oneplus for other brands. Probably goi... moreOnePlus had already lost their way, OOS updates wise, compared to Samsung, this might be a reason to stay as long as they can now at least match Samsung when releasing updates. Although the amount of new devices they are now releasing probably makes that hope unlikely.

If OP are just going to release OPPO devices running Colour OS what's the point in buying them over OPPO's own devices?

    AnonD-1004713, 16 Jun 2021Easy, people will just look for the next One Plus. That&#... moreSeriously? According to you the only difference between a realme flagship and one device from samsung, sony and oneplus is camera.

    LOL ... Dear, only the bill of materials of S21 Ultra costs more than retail price of Realme GT. Bill of material means just the hardware. You do not count any other costs.

    Realme GT , except CPU, is not better than the A52 5G

    People need to stop looking just amount of RAM/storage, battery size, cpu and screen Hertz to compare phones.

    - UFS3.1 of one phone is not necessarily same of UFS3.1 of another phones. Samsung is not the only supplier ( UFS3.1 of Mi11 does 1600 MB/s, while K30 Pro UFS3.1 is 800Mb/s).

    - A 6,7" Full HD oled 120Hz curved used by phone A is not necessarily same screen used by phone B that also has 6,7" Full HD oled 120Hz curved.

    Phone has tons of components, if any OEM can save $1 per piece by using component from cheaper supplier, difference in the end is huge.

    Bill of materials of iphone 12 is $350, just like mi11. Despite iphone 12 has much simpler specs. Working mostly with local suppliers, save tons of money for chinese OEMs.

    S7 Edge bill of materials was almost $300. Phone from 2016.
    It was the almost retail price of mi6.




      OPPO,Realme,Oneplus are basiclly one company since very begining. The relationship between those three companies are complex but in short they have same shareholders and same boss behind the scene,they like brothers in one family.
      They share design,technology and supply chain,but their marketing are seprate.
      Vivo also have relationship with OPPO,but more like cousin than brother.
      Now the oneplus become a sub brand of OPPO,just like redmi is sub brand of Xiaomi,no more seprate marketing

        Anonymous, 16 Jun 2021lmao you will never ever see $299 oneplus flagship anymore.... moreEasy, people will just look for the next One Plus.
        That's why models from Xiaomi or Realme look more interesting (at least on paper). They bring flagship specs at sub 500EUR.
        The only thing flagship phones (from One Plus, Samsung or Sony) bring, is better cameras. Which for someone not interesting in photos, is useless.
        Companies need to understand that the first and most important criteria in choosing a phone is price. And what are you getting for that price.

          Would rather buy an Oppo than OnePlus because of this. It’s much cheaper than a rebranded one. lol

                    To be fair, i think oppo software skin is improving .. the same goes to vivo ... both these are making better user experience than xiaomi..... in future they will take the lead in most liked skins ...

I don't think much else will change. And that's fine, their hardware and price-point is still excellent from what I am seeing (most recently, 7T, 8 Pro, 8T) and that is what I care about most.
