BBK is the predecessor of OPPO and vivo. It can be said that OPPO and vivo are brothers. However, in 2003, OPPO's shareholders bought out OPPO's shares and made OPPO independent. Since then, OPPO and BBK have no longer had any relationship.
vivo is a smartphone brand founded by BBK in 2011. It can also be considered as the brand after the facelift of BBK music phone.
OnePlus is a subsidiary established by OPPO in 2013. It was originally under the control of OPPO. Later, OnePlus became completely independent from OPPO and started to work alone.
Judging from these relationships, OPPO, vivo, and OnePlus still have quite deep roots, but now they are all independent companies and do not have too many connections. But because of this complicated relationship, many people still mistakenly think that they are from the same family.

In early 1999, BBK was split into three companies with independent equity and human resources and no affiliation with each other.
Today Shen Wei, the head of BBK Mobile Phone Company, is in charge of communications business. Huang Yihe is responsible for the educational electronics business and has now retired. Chen Mingyong is in charge of the audiovisual business. Since then, BBK is no longer a conglomerate in the true sense.
The three companies do not hold shares in each other. Their connection lies with some individual shareholders (Duan Yongping, Shen Wei, Huang Yihe, Chen Mingyong, etc., among which Duan’s shareholding ratio in the three companies is said to be about 10%) Holds shares in three companies.
And within a period of time, about 80% of the channels using the BBK brand and the original BBK were used.
In 2001, Duan took the lead and three BBK companies *** invested 30 million yuan to register OPPO. However, Shen Wei and Huang Yihe had no intention of joining OPPO, so Chen Mingyong bought out the rights to the OPPO brand.
In 2002, Sony, Philips, Panasonic and other companies required the Chinese DVD industry to pay patent fees. Xinke almost disappeared as a result, and Chen Mingyong's life was not easy.
He decided to devote himself wholeheartedly to OPPO. Soon, BBK Audio-Visual Company closed down, and two to three hundred employees joined Guangdong Oppo Mobile Communications Co., Ltd. founded in 2003, namely OPPO Mobile Phones.
OPPP mobile phones are from Opal Mobile Company, and VIVO mobile phones are a smartphone brand launched by BBK Communications in 2011. They were called BBK VIVO at the beginning, and were later gradually removed from BBK.
Friends who have watched If You Are the One will know that Meng Fei said at the beginning, "Welcome to watch the large-scale life service program BBK vivo smartphone If You Are the One", and later removed the BBK.
OnePlus Mobile (Shenzhen OnePlus Technology Co., Ltd.) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Guangdong Oppo Electronics Industry Co., Ltd., and the controlling shareholder of OPPO Mobile (Guangdong Oppo Mobile Communications Co., Ltd.) is Guangdong Oupo Electronics Industry Co., Ltd.
So OPPO mobile phones and OnePlus mobile phones are brothers, and their biological father is Guangdong Oppo Electronics Industry Co., Ltd.
