A new report from Leifeng says OPPO has issued an internal notice creating a new OPPO sub-series business unit, with both OnePlus and realme folded into the structure.
According to the reported notice, OPPO Senior Vice President Li Bingzhong, also known as Sky, will lead the new unit. The marketing and service operations covering OnePlus and realme are said to be handled by Xu Qi, formerly realme’s vice president and president of marketing and service, who has been appointed to run that side of the new division.
On the product side, OPPO has reportedly set up a dedicated sub-series product center with separate domestic and overseas product departments, all managed by Li Jie and reporting to Liu Zuohu. Former realme vice president Wang Wei, also known as Derek, is said to serve as deputy general manager of that product center and report to Li Jie.
The report also says realme’s R&D team is being folded back into the broader group structure. Imaging, hardware, and other departments would be absorbed into OPPO’s existing hardware organization instead of remaining separate.
That move follows an earlier after-sales integration already announced in mainland China. Back on March 20, realme said its customer service there would gradually be merged into OPPO’s support system. Starting April 1, 2026, after-sales support for realme phones, tablets, PCs, and IoT products in mainland China has been handled through OPPO’s service network.
