OnePlus started as an independent brand; however, in recent years, the influence of Oppo has transformed from an open secret to an undeniable reality.
Rumors suggest that OnePlus' transition into obscurity could be finalized later this week. According to a reliable source, Oppo and OnePlus are expected to announce 'fundamental changes' to their strategies imminently. This appears to indicate that OnePlus will completely withdraw from key markets such as Europe and the US.
OnePlus 15 might be the last OnePlus flagshipIn tandem, Oppo is rumored to expand into new European markets, presumably to fill the gap left by OnePlus' exit. However, it remains unclear how Oppo, with its generally higher-priced devices, plans to fill this void.
While OnePlus devices will continue to receive updates and support until the end of their respective lifecycles, the remaining stock is being liquidated in the coming weeks and months, with no new products planned for Europe and the US. In markets like India and China, OnePlus may evolve into a sub-brand of Oppo, focusing on budget smartphones and tablets.
