News & Reviews:   restructure

Previously, there was a rumour of OPPO possibly shutting down OnePlus, but that turned out to be false. Today, realme has reportedly begun laying off employees in India as part of a restructuring tied to its transition back into OPPO’s organisational umbrella. Industry sources and retail contacts in major states like Gujarat, Delhi, Haryana and Punjab say that sales and field staff have been told their roles may end as early as 30 April 2026, reflecting broader cost-cutting and operational alignment between the two brands.

Looks like the metaverse isn't going smoothly. According to The Verge, Meta has closed three of its virtual reality game development studios, including Armature Studio, Sanzaru Games, and Twisted Pixel Games, as part of cuts within its Reality Labs division. The moves were confirmed this week during a broader round of layoffs affecting roughly 10% of Reality Labs staff, which reflects a strategic push to reduce costs and rethink investment in metaverse-related projects.
