Android Authority • • general
Key Points:
- OPPO is reportedly discontinuing Oxygen OS and realme UI on future global devices, consolidating both into its Color OS platform as part of a broader smartphone business restructuring.
- OnePlus is narrowing its operational focus to India and China, while realme is winding down its business in China to prioritize external markets.
- Signs of OnePlus's global brand decline include redirecting EU users to OPPO products and dwindling retail stock in the US and UK, with no new product launches expected soon.
- The consolidation follows a 2021 merger of Oxygen OS and Color OS codebases, with Oxygen OS increasingly becoming a rebranded version of Color OS over time.
- OnePlus North America continues to provide user support, but the company has not responded to recent inquiries about its future plans for the US and global markets or the fate of Oxygen OS.
