OnePlus is reportedly preparing to withdraw from the US and Europe, with an official announcement expected within days, according to multiple reports. The move would end months of speculation about the brand's future in these regions. Rumors first surfaced in January, though the company at the time assured users that North American operations were continuing, according to ShortSingh.
"The end is near and the clock is ticking."
A translated WinFuture report cited by ShortSingh indicates that OnePlus and its parent company Oppo will announce the brand's exit from both the US and European markets. This would mark a major shift for the Android brand, as reported by Mashable, and would shrink the Android phone market in those regions, according to BGR.
The potential withdrawal throws the future of devices like OnePlus watches into doubt, as noted by gadgetsandwearables.com. Existing devices may still function, but the long-term support for OxygenOS and future updates could be affected. Android Authority reported that OnePlus may confirm its demise in these markets this week.
"OnePlus is reportedly preparing to shut down smartphone operations in the US and Europe, marking a major shift for the Android brand."
While an official announcement is expected imminently, the reports suggest that the company has not yet made a public statement. Users in the US and Europe are left waiting for confirmation and clarity on what this means for their existing OnePlus devices and accessories, as reported by androidpolice.com, which noted the exit could also apply to the EU.
