To my ears, OnePlus sounds like a low-quality western brand. Along the lines of "Best Value" or "Farmer's Choice"

And Apple sounds like a fruit. The point is they spent big marketing dollars to make the brand not sound low quality anymore.

I mean, in a vacuum, yes. But it made a huge splash with the OnePlus One, and they had some pretty nice phones since.

Oppo, Vivo and Realme sound like those weird dropshipping Amazon brands. Or the whitelabel brand Android phones you can buy on AliExpress. If I didn't know they are legit brands I would genuinely think you'd be trying to sell me a scam phone that fake-advertised having 12GB memory or a Snapdragon.
