TL;DR
- In the wake of losing market share to other brands, and big device cancellations, a new report suggests that OnePlus may exit smartphone production.
- This move would follow OPPO’s announcement it was restructuring Realme as a sub-brand again.
- OnePlus has yet to formally respond to the allegations, and so far we’ve yet to see these claims substantiated.
Healthy competition in the smartphone industry is a wonderful thing, fostering innovation, pushing limits, and keeping designs interesting and fresh. But this is also one brutal market to find your niche in, and time after time, we’ve seen major players close up shop, even after years of operation. Just the other day, we heard that ASUS was was moving away from making new phones, and now a new report claims that OnePlus could be the next big phone brand to go the way of HTC, LG, and so many others before it.
