OPPO Axes 2 Android Skins, Makes ColorOS Standard on OnePlus and Realme Worldwide

Summary
All future OnePlus and Realme phones will ship with ColorOS globally as OPPO permanently retires OxygenOS and Realme UI in a groupwide software consolidation.
Three separate Android skins had become too costly to maintain, and OPPO is cutting R&D by ending duplicate software work across its brands.
OnePlus is narrowing its focus to India and China, while its India after-sales operations have already been folded into OPPO’s service network.
Realme is winding down its China business to focus on overseas markets, extending a broader restructuring that more tightly absorbs both brands into OPPO.
A 2021 codebase merger had already pushed OxygenOS closer to ColorOS; this move turns that long-running convergence into the global default.
