Despite the denials, OnePlus is completely owned by the Oppo

Reading time is around minutes.

The company OnePlus about which we wrote last week because of their first smartphone One, is not really "all-new" company everyone believed. The story around OnePlus begins in 2013, when Vice President of the Oppo (which also produces mobile phones) Pete Lau went from that position and founded a start-up OnePlus. Not even half a year after that OnePlus comes to market with a high end performance mobile at a very attractive price, and announces it as the best mobile phone in the world.

But as a Chinese media report, it seems that the Oppo and Lau lied to the public about the true nature of their business relationship. According to the data from commercial register of the province of Shenzhen, the so-called start-up OnePlus has only one shareholder - Oppo. OnePlus is therefore nothing other than a subsidiary of a larger company, a true 100 % owned subsidiary, despite the fact that its founder has repeatedly denied any connection with Oppo.

Considering this information, it is now clear where OnePlus got the money to invest in marketing and production, and why their OnePlus They looks so similar to the Oppo Find 7.
