OnePlus to Shut Down? Report Claims Company Is Being ‘Dismantled’, CEO Breaks Silence

Robin Liu, OnePlus India CEO, pushed back on shutdown claims via a January 21 post, saying `We're operating as usual and will continue to do so` while OnePlus India and OnePlus North America confirmed normal operations and support.
Android Headlines' report used employee interviews and analyst data from IDC and Omdia to claim OnePlus is being dismantled, citing shipment drops and market share decline.
OnePlus statements urged stakeholders to verify information from official sources before sharing unsubstantiated claims, noting OnePlus India accounts for half of global sales and software updates continue.
Customer concern surged after social posts alleging an exit, prompting OnePlus to calm customers and partners while disputing claims that over 4,500 retailers in India stopped sales; uncertainty remains for OnePlus North America and OnePlus Europe.
In recent years, BBK Electronics' consolidation across Oppo, Vivo, Realme, and OnePlus prompts industry analysts to see strategic realignment rather than an outright shutdown.
