OnePlus and its parent company Oppo are reportedly preparing to announce that the OnePlus brand will withdraw from the US and European markets in the coming days, as indicated by a machine-translated report from WinFuture.
If confirmed, this departure would bring an end to months of speculation regarding the brand’s future. Back in January, Android Headlines claimed OnePlus was being “dismantled.” At the time, OnePlus pushed back, stating that “OnePlus North America continues to operate, with full guarantee of users’ after-sales support, software updates, and rights commitments.”
Then in March, 9to5Google reported that OnePlus could shut down its global operations as early as April. The latest reports suggest that timeline may now be coming to fruition, marking a significant shift for the company that once carved out a loyal following among smartphone enthusiasts in the West.
