OnePlus and OPPO to collaborate on smartphone development

-
According to the Internet publication DoNews, Chinese manufacturers OnePlus and OPPO have decided to join forces in research and development. Research departments of the companies will enter into a common structure, while retaining their own software.
Xiaomi and Redmi have long worked according to a similar scheme, combining the power of their research centers. Now, if we believe the rumors, the research laboratories of OnePlus and OPPO will enter into a single office, the results of which will be used in the products of both companies.

However, the information is still no more than a rumor, as the Chinese companies have not commented on it and have not shed any light on the specifics of the possible cooperation.
