Report: OnePlus and Realme are merging

30 April 2026
The two brands will share product development, strategy and resources.


I hope people realize that they were always the same company? Just like Nothing Phones, oppo and vivo. Its all own by BBK Electronics.

Of course on the surface its all marketing gimmick starting Carl Pei, as "uuuu! Look Im one guy! Im starting phone company! We have fancy colored cables or leds on the back"
Its all just to push sales outside Chinese market, as Oppo and Vivo always had hard time to get sales outside of it.

They pretty much do the same as Xiaomi with Poco or Redmi but just with more marketing gimmicking and brand advertising.

    So basically just more rebadging of the same phone into two different brands, similar to Redmi/Poco. *Yawn

      Hopefully it will help Oneplus to sell its models again this year, internationally

        Let's see what Dino phone they come up with

              Realme is not reliable anymore. Too expensive for low specs. Ditching ultrawide cam in basic phones, downgrading processors, downgrading camera hardware. Ughhh! Realme phones wast best from its 5 to 9. I dont see much realme users anymore. I will also switch if they will continue these!

                Anton .the. papi, 30 Apr 2026Carl buys Oneplus I hope so

                      This makes total sense. There was too much overlap between their phones and in China pricing was also so similar. Makes way more sense to do this and cut down on excessive releases of similar phones

                        How about RealPlus?

                            BTW, they already started. Check out announced Oneplus Nord ce 6 lite, that's literally a rebadged version of Realme p4x 5g.

                              OnePlus has become history now. This merger has driven the final nail into OnePlus's coffin.

                                New brand name OneMeme or RealMinus?

                                  so they will form a fusion...

                                        You were very special to the tech-loving community... those days are long gone since that summer 2014 when I bought my first OnePlus! Fly high, my friend...

                                        Since Carl Pei left the company, everything has gone downhill...
