As per a leak by tipster Yogesh Brar, the company could be scaling down or even shutting operations in some global markets. He mentioned that the smartphone giant may reduce its presence in regions like the US, UK, and parts of Europe. At the same time, China is expected to remain unaffected.  Also Read: OnePlus may be working on a gaming handheld with a different approach

Is OnePlus shutting down in India? 

On the other hand, the situation of OnePlus doesn’t seem as extreme as in the other countries, at least based on current information. The leak suggests that OnePlus could continue operating here, but with a different strategy. Leak suggests that instead of focusing on flagship launches such as the OnePlus 15, the brand may move more towards budget and mid-range devices, especially under its Nord lineup. That doesn’t mean premium phones will disappear completely, but they may not arrive as frequently.

What did OnePlus say?

It must be noted that this is not the first time when such reports of shutting down appeared online. Earlier this year, a similar claim hinted towards the declining shipments, fewer launches, and team reductions in some Western markets. There were also talks about certain products being dropped, including a foldable and a compact flagship. However, none of these details have been officially confirmed by OnePlus.

And again, even about the latest rumour, there is no official word by OnePlus so far about the plans of shutting down. Back in January, OnePlus India CEO Robin Liu had clearly stated that operations in India are continuing as usual. 

So as of now, there’s no official indication that OnePlus is exiting any major market. Plus, the post on X has been removed later, which also hints that there is no confirmation on the news.

What does it mean for you?

If the leak turns out to be true by any chance, then it will simply mean that there will be fewer options from OnePlus in certain regions, especially in the premium segment.
