According to Android Headlines, OPPO might shut down OnePlus. This is since OnePlus was reabsorbed into OPPO, workforce reductions, sales plummeting, and several products allegedly being cancelled. So, what should you know about it?
We might see the end of OnePlus now
For your information, one of the signs that OnePlus may be on the verge of collapse is the massive store closures in India, OnePlus' second-largest market after China. Meanwhile, in Europe and the United States, staff numbers have also been drastically reduced in recent years.
Moreover, Android Headlines says one of the reasons why OnePlus will be buried is because of declining sales. Device production is set to decline by 20% throughout 2024, with this being most noticeable in India and China, which account for 74% of device sales.
Meanwhile in the United States, OnePlus devices are no longer offered in bundles by major carriers like they were in the early stages. Additionally, reports also claim that the OnePlus Open 2 and OnePlus 15s have been canceled. While OnePlus may be in the grave, existing customers will still be supported as promised.
Additionally, OnePlus and OPPO have yet to issue a statement denying this report. Realme has recently been absorbed back into Oppo and may receive more attention. In Malaysia, it can be seen that promotions for OnePlus have decreased sharply without the big launch events during the Carl Pei era.
If this report is true, OnePlus will become another smartphone brand that was once great but was later forgotten because its products were not well received by users.
Update: It's a hoax
Apparently, OnePlus has denied this claim and OnePlus will not be shut down. Robin Liu, CEO of OnePlus India dismissed this rumour on X. He also urged everyone to verify information from official sources before sharing such claims. The company added that its business operations are continuing as normal and it is not being closed down quietly.
