It is a period of intense changes for OnePlus, the Chinese smartphone brand that has carved out a good reputation, thanks to products with a careful design and interesting performances. The company a year ago joined Oppo, another major smartphone manufacturer based in China belonging, among other things, to the same industrial group BBK.
Let’s go in order: the union between OnePlus and Oppo will not lead to the disappearance of either of the two brands, but which will intensify the synergies for the development of new products. It remains to understand exactly what will happen at the operating system level. OnePlus, in fact, has its own customized version of Android called OxygenOS, while Oppo adopts ColorOS. The two systems will coexist, albeit with a common basis, and will stand out for their customizations.
However the change has a significant impact on the two companies, so much so that OnePlus has decided to contact its users by asking opinions and suggestions about OxygenOS on the official forum. The company invites you to participate in a survey where everyone can express their ideas about their favorite functions, any limitations and defects and future developments. It is clear that OnePlus, in this phase of evolution, wants to make the right choices, also based on suggestions from those who do not have a OnePlus smartphone yet.

THE MARRIAGE WITH OPPO
But let’s take a step back. Why did OnePlus join Oppo? In a nutshell, because the two companies needed rationalize resources. Both brands, as mentioned, are part of the Chinese consumer electronics giant BBK, a brand unknown here, but one of the largest smartphone manufacturers in the world (probably the second after Samsung).
In fact, under the BBK umbrella we find Oppo, OnePlus, Vivo and Realme. It then appears clear how a merger between Oppo and OnePlus can be part of the industrial perspective of sharing resources in research and development and production in a competitive and rich market such as that of smartphones.
