The banner's wording doesn't leave much to guess at. It tells visitors that Oppo has "the speed you need and the experience you trust," which is an odd thing for a company to say about somebody else's products. And the page promises Oppo devices will offer "seamless compatibility with existing OnePlus technology," almost like it's easing longtime fans into a brand switch rather than announcing one outright. This follows months of layoffs across OnePlus's European teams and reports that the company has been leaning harder on Oppo for supply chains and software. It's a strange thing to watch a phone brand slowly hand its customers to its own parent.
None of this touches the United States, since Oppo doesn't officially sell phones there, so American OnePlus buyers won't see the banner.Existing OnePlus phones, including the OnePlus 15, are still for sale in every market, and current owners still get support as usual.OxygenOS and ColorOS have looked more alike for years now, ever since the two companies unified their software code back in 2022.OnePlus hasn't confirmed any plan to fold the brand into Oppo entirely, though the company said back in April it was reviewing its regional roadmap and product strategy.
