Overview
Rumors have been swirling this year that OnePlus may be looking at serious changes, or even shutting down operations in some markets, as parent brand OPPO reorganizes its portfolio. While the company hasn’t publicly confirmed these rumors—issuing statements such as “OnePlus North America continues to operate”—last week a now‑deleted LinkedIn post from a OnePlus Europe employee suggested the company is “reviewing its regional roadmap and product strategy.” The post led the employee to look for new work.
It still feels likely that OnePlus is scaling back operations in some capacity in certain regions.
