- OnePlus India CEO Robin Liu has stated that reports claiming the company is shutting down are false.
- There has been no announcement about a global shutdown, brand merger, or cancellation of smartphone launches.
- OnePlus confirmed that its business activities in India are ongoing without disruption.
The OnePlus India shutdown rumor has been dismissed by the company after recent reports suggested the smartphone brand could be winding down operations. OnePlus India CEO Robin Liu has clarified that the company is not shutting down and that its business in India is continuing as normal.
What’s the OnePlus India shutdown rumor all about?
The story began after an investigative report by Android Headlines claimed that OnePlus was being gradually scaled back by its parent company, OPPO. The report cited unnamed current and former employees, analyst data, and market trends to suggest that OnePlus could be facing long-term challenges.
According to an earlier report by Android Headlines, OnePlus has seen a decline in smartphone shipments in recent years, especially in India and China. It also alleged that OPPO’s reported $14 billion internal support effort did not reverse this trend. The report further claimed that some future products, including a compact flagship phone and a second-generation foldable device, may have been canceled.
However, neither OnePlus nor OPPO has officially confirmed these claims. There has been no announcement about a global shutdown, a merger into OPPO, or an end to OnePlus smartphone launches. The company has also not confirmed any product cancellations mentioned in the report.
Official statement from OnePlus India
Responding to the OnePlus India shutdown rumor, CEO Robin Liu issued a statement on X (formerly Twitter), saying:
“Recent unverified reports claiming OnePlus is shutting down are false. OnePlus India’s business operations continue as normal. We urge all stakeholders to verify information from official sources before sharing unsubstantiated claims.”
At present, there is no verified evidence that OnePlus is shutting down or exiting the Indian market. The company has clearly stated that OnePlus India continues to operate as usual. Until any official announcements are made by OnePlus or OPPO, the shutdown claims remain unverified.
