With its latest round of phones, Oppo splits its best tech between the Find X5 Pro and OnePlus 10 Pro — with confusing results.
Although the partnership has become more public over the past year, OnePlus and Oppo have always enjoyed a pretty close relationship behind the scenes. Back in the days of the OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 6, the OnePlus flagship would effectively be a rebadged version of the main Oppo handset, though with higher-end internals. More recently, as the high-end phones have diverged, a similar pattern has emerged in some of OnePlus`s cheaper Nord phones. The entry-level Nord N100, for example, was basically a rebadged Oppo A53 running different software. With these two brands, crossing the streams isn`t anything new.
Nevertheless, the merger of OnePlus into Oppo in late 2021 makes things official and a lot more public. And as both brands` 2022 flagships break cover, we`re getting our first glimpse of what this closer relationship will mean in real terms.
