Another report confirms OnePlus' imminent demise, reveals it's going to exit India too
Reports suggest that smartphone manufacturer OnePlus is planning to exit several key global markets, including the US, Europe, and eventually India by 2027. The move is part of a broader restructuring strategy that may also affect its sister brand, Realme.
Why it matters
The potential withdrawal of a major smartphone brand from multiple global markets signals significant shifts in the competitive landscape of the mobile industry.
A couple of days ago a usually reliable source of smartphone-related information claimed that OnePlus will be leaving the US and Europe as soon as this week.
Now a new report from a different reliable source, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, confirms the brand's imminent exit from the aforementioned key markets. But this one adds more details. In 2027, OnePlus will apparently also withdraw from all other markets except China - thus including India, where it's recently launched the N6 and started teasing a new model in the line earlier today.
Restructuring is also coming for the other Oppo sub-brand, Realme, which will allegedly exit the Chinese market as part of the same strategy shift that will see OnePlus get out of the US and Europe.
