TL;DR

A new report claims that OPPO is discontinuing both Oxygen OS and realme UI on future global devices in favor of Color OS.

OnePlus is reportedly narrowing its operational focus strictly to India and China, while realme is winding down its Chinese business to focus on external markets.

Signs of a brand shutdown are emerging globally, with OnePlus recently steering EU users toward OPPO products alongside drying retail stock in the US and UK.

Rumors of OnePlus fading away have intensified in the past few months, and a recent report that said OPPO plans to integrate OnePlus and realme within itself signalled the demise of the once-acclaimed “flagship killer” brand. A new report is now adding fuel to the fire, claiming that even Oxygen OS is being folded into OPPO’s Color OS.

According to a Smartprix report citing an unnamed “highly reliable and seasoned industry insider,” OPPO has initiated a “sweeping consolidation” of its smartphone business. The report corroborates that both OnePlus and realme are being fully consolidated into the core OPPO brand. The big news is that Oxygen OS and realme UI are being discontinued on future devices globally in favor of Color OS.
