Rumors of OnePlus leaving the US market circulate once again as an announcement may happen “soon”
Summary
- Rumors say OnePlus will withdraw from the US and EU, with an announcement due this week.
- Winfuture cites insider sources saying Oppo will expand and ‘take over’ OnePlus’ pioneering role.
- Company executives denied a shutdown earlier, and there’s no official confirmation — treat reports with skepticism.
Back in January, we saw a pretty huge claim that OnePlus was planning to wind down its operations worldwide. Top managerial positions in the company took to social media to refute the rumors, saying that the company was planning to continue as normal. However, the idea of OnePlus shutting down kept swirling in the back of people’s minds, to the point where it’s hard to brush off any negative signs as proof that the company isn’t doing well.
In the latest round of rumors, a website is citing insider sources that claim that OnePlus will be retreating from the US and EU markets. Not only that, but the company will make its announcement in the coming week
OnePlus is leaving the US and EU very soon, claims Winfuture
We’ll know soon enough if it’s true
The latest news comes to us via the reputable German tech website Winfuture. It, too, remembers the big rumor mill that fired up at the start of 2026, and it has come across some additional info that has stoked the flames once more.
As the publication claims (machine translated from German):
According to our well-informed sources, OnePlus and its parent company, Oppo, intend to announce fundamental changes to their strategy this week. What sounds like a lot of marketing hype is nothing less than the withdrawal from key markets and the end of OnePlus as we’ve known it.
These “key markets” are the EU and US, with Winfuture’s sources claiming that an announcement that covers the EU market at the very least will happen later this week. This is reportedly due to Oppo expanding in another market by “taking over OnePlus’s pioneering role.” As usual, none of this information has been officially confirmed, so take it all with a grain of salt.
