"Realme started off as an independent brand back in 2018, even though it leveraged Oppo's R&D, and at one point we even got unified software experience across all three brands - Oppo, Realme and OnePlus. Still, Realme insisted that it was an independent brand with its own R&D and service centers. However, a new report claims this is changing. Oppo and Realme announced a merger, which means Realme is moving back under the Oppo umbrella."
"While the changes might be a net positive for the users, since Realme isn't going anywhere as a brand, Realme's employees are getting the short end of the stick. The company has started massive layoffs in India, since the marketing and service networks will be provided by Oppo itself, which in turn means that Realme doesn't need that many employees."

Realme maintained claims of independent R&D and service centers. Oppo and Realme have announced a merger that moves Realme back under Oppo's umbrella. The merger will consolidate marketing and service networks under Oppo, prompting massive layoffs in India as overlapping staff become redundant. Realme will continue as a brand and users may benefit from Oppo's larger service center network and potentially improved software support, though actual effects will unfold over time.
