OnePlus merged its research and development arm with Oppo in January this year, but said its software will not be changed and will remain same. That will soon change as OnePlus announces the full integration of its smartphone brand with Oppo.

OnePlus has now decided to be a part of Oppo and will work as a brand under OPPO but will retain its independence. The announcement was made by the company’s CEOPete Lau, who said the merger would open up more resources for the company to help develop better products.

He added that this will enable faster and more efficient software updates for OnePlus users as well.

OnePlus Will Now Operate Under Oppo

According to Oppo CEO, Oneplus will also said that OnePlus will continue to operate as an independent brand and provide the best products and experiences to its fans. OnePlus will continue to hold separate programs to launch new devices around the world. The One Channel community will also be retained for close feedback on all channels.

However, restoring Oppo phones as OnePlus devices is already common. Oppo hardware has also been spotted on OnePlus devices. Going forward, these exercises are expected to become commonplace
