Memo Shows OnePlus Will Be A Sub-Brand to Oppo; Employees Told Not To Talk About OxygenOS

Last week, Chinese smartphone maker OnePlus introduced that it’s merging with its BBK sibling, Oppo. Few days after the official announcement, a leaked memo now says that after the merger, OnePlus will act as a sub-brand underneath Oppo’s umbrella. Last week, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau had stated tat OnePlus and Oppo can be “merging groups” behind the scenes to benefit both the companies. However, a leaked memo that comes courtesy of known tipster Evan Blass says that after the merger, OnePlus will be a sub-brand to Oppo. The memo essentially says that OnePlus as a company will cease to exist and will become a sub-brand under Oppo. This looks similar to Redmi and Pocophone being Xiaomi sub-brands.

Another interesting thing that the leaked memo has found is that a section marked “Important Note,” tells OnePlus workers not to reply to any questions that ask in regards to the OxygenOS and/or ColourOS in relation to the mixing announcement. The memo says that it’s because the corporate doesn’t have any updates concerning the working methods. This places an enormous query mark on the way forward for OxygenOS. OnePlus CEO Pete Lau lately replied to followers asking about the way forward for OxygenOS, saying that OxygenOS will stay in place on international gadgets. The memo lays out how the merger will have an effect on OnePlus going ahead.
