The OnePlus story just got more interesting amid merger talks

Reports claim OnePlus and Realme have merged operations, but there is no official confirmation.

The rumor follows earlier speculation that OnePlus could exit some markets, including the US.

Realme’s status as an Oppo sub-brand adds to the speculation about a broader restructuring.

If true, the move could reshape both brands’ product plans and global presence, including devices like the OnePlus Watch 4.
