The end is near and the clock is ticking. OnePlus is reportedly going to be shut down for good in the US and Europe markets as of this week.
For months now, it’s been abundantly clear that OnePlus is shutting down in global markets. It all started early this year when a bizarre, AI-aided “report” hit the web claiming that OnePlus would be winding down, though without citing sources at the time. OnePlus refuted the claim, but it was obvious things were brewing after years of missteps and neglect.
We here at 9to5Google later reported that OnePlus would wind down in global markets, and it was just a couple of weeks after that when OnePlus officially confirmed it was “evaluating” its future in Europe, among other changes.
The downward spiral has continued in the months since, with mysterious announcements of products that were expected to hit global markets, reported internal mergers inside of Oppo’s empire, and most recently a change to the OnePlus website where, in several regions, the brand is actively pushing customers to buy from Oppo instead. Even OxygenOS is on the chopping block.
Now, the end is here. Almost.
