OnePlus CEO might return to Oppo but he will continue to lead the company

The founder, CEO and the main person at OnePlus will start working at Oppo. Pete Lau, formerly Oppo vice president, created OnePlus in December 2013.

OnePlus CEO might return to Oppo but he will still be working on OnePlus

During this time, the company released more than 15 successful smartphones, and its turnover in 2019 exceeded $1.9 billion. More than 1000 people work for the corporation.

The goal of OnePlus is to share the best technology with the world. The company became known thanks to its flagship killer smartphones, but is now expanding its portfolio. One of the important steps to conquering more markets was the launch of OnePlus 8 – an expensive smartphone that has become an uncompromising offer that combines all the technologies currently available.

Fortunately, even if the rumor published by the Ice Universe insider turns out to be true, Pete will remain in OnePlus. He will continue to lead the company, and working at Oppo will only improve company interaction and help establish a productive technology exchange.

Recall that OnePlus belongs to the BBK holding, which, in turn, owns Oppo, Vivo and Realme. This means that no conflict of interest will occur, but rather the opposite – the transition of Pete will help every brand. In any case, at the moment these are just rumors.

As we mentioned, last April, OnePlus has revealed its latest flagship smartphones, and here is a reminder of their specifications:
