Hear me out: OPPO doesn’t want OnePlus to succeed

Take a closer look, though, and it’s clear that we’re looking at a sidegrade or even a downgrade in some places. This wouldn’t be the first time OnePlus followed a fantastic flagship phone with a disappointing device. In fact, there seems to be a rough pattern emerging in recent years, and I’ve come to an absurd conclusion. OPPO doesn’t really want OnePlus to truly succeed — at least not at the expense of OPPO’s own flagship phones.
