OnePlus and OPPO have been sharing resources for a while now. Given that the latter has already entered the foldable smartphone category, the former isn't far behind.

Sharma has tweeted an image with a few trademarks that OnePlus appears to have recently filed. According to the shared data, OnePlus may choose to call its foldable smartphones the OnePlus V Fold and OnePlus V Flip.
