Earlier this week, OnePlus announced its merger with Oppo. In the announcement, OnePlus said it will continue to operate as an independent brand under Oppo. The merger will also help expand the company’s R&D and supply chain to ship more devices. However, the announcement left users confused regarding the future of OxygenOS outside China. A leaked memo now reveals that OnePlus has instructed its employees not to respond to OS-related queries.
Tipster Evan Blass shared OnePlus’ internal memo on Twitter. “Important Note: Do not respond to any OS or Color OS questions that target the integration announcement. Only use the below response — We currently do not have any updates regarding the operating systems. Please stay tuned to our official channels.,” reads the memo.

Surprisingly, the memo leak comes at a time when OnePlus CEO Pete Lau took to the company’s official forums to state that OxygenOS will continue to be the operating system for devices outside China. “OxygenOS will remain the operating system for global OnePlus devices outside of the China market,” he said.
