In the press there has been comments that OnePlus is actually owned by Oppo.

So far we know for sure that the phones will be manufactured by Oppo and OnePlus is headed up by an ex Director of Oppo who went off to do his own thing. Well, according to legal documents, OnePlus is owned by Oppo.

So what did Oppo have to say on the matter?

“…OnePlus is a separately run company that does share common investors with OPPO. One of those investors is OPPO Electronic. OPPO Electronic is an investment company and is not the same as OPPO Mobile. OnePlus is also in talks with other investors.”

Well, that answers everything, doesn’t it?

Question is, does it really matter?
