Summary
OnePlus has stopped launching new phones and restocking existing models in North America and Europe, making the OnePlus 15 its last regional smartphone.
July 16 marked the company’s announced exit, which it described as a “proactive global strategy adjustment,” while reports and speculation pointed to fierce competition and possible supply or geopolitical pressures.
Aug. 16 at 11:59 p.m. EST is when OnePlus’s regional Community app and website go offline; official inventory is largely gone, with only a handful of accessories still listed.
Existing users will still get promised software updates, security patches, warranty coverage and repairs through each device’s end-of-service date — including 4 years of updates for the OnePlus 15.
OnePlus is narrowing its focus to China and India and plans to replace OxygenOS globally with Oppo’s ColorOS, though leaked reports suggest the OnePlus 16 is still in development.
