OnePlus has denied reports that the company is shutting down, calling the claims “unverified” and stressing that business remains normal. The statement comes after Android Headlines published a story suggesting OnePlus was being dismantled by parent company OPPO, citing internal documents, employee accounts, and analyst data.
The report alleged that OnePlus had closed offices, laid off staff in Western markets, and cancelled upcoming devices such as the Open 2 foldable and the compact 15s. It also pointed to declining shipments, noting that OnePlus dropped more than 20% in 2024, from around 17 million units to 13–14 million. OPPO, meanwhile, saw slight growth during the same period.
In response, OnePlus India CEO Robin Liu urged customers and partners to rely on official sources. Statements from OnePlus India and North America emphasized that after-sales support, software updates, and user rights remain unaffected. The company reiterated its commitment to ongoing product development and customer service.
I wanted to address some misinformation that has been circulating about OnePlus India and its operations.

Founded in 2013, OnePlus operates as a subsidiary of OPPO, with devices manufactured in OPPO factories. OPPO invested USD 1.4 billion into OnePlus in 2022, underscoring its role within the group’s broader strategy.
Despite the recent controversy, leaks suggest OnePlus is preparing a new “Turbo” phone for 2026, featuring a 9,000mAh battery designed for endurance.

For now, OnePlus rejects claims of shutdown and insists operations continue. However, questions remain about its long-term performance in a competitive smartphone market.
