- Smartphone market consolidation makes it hard for smaller brands like OnePlus to compete against giants such as Apple and Samsung.
- Oppo, which owns OnePlus, is rumored to retire the OnePlus brand due to plummeting sales (down 20% in 2024 to ~14M units).
- OnePlus struggles with low retailer margins, losing carrier contracts, and downsizing in key markets (US, Europe).
- 74% of OnePlus sales come from China and India, where its market share is just 1.6% and 3.9%, respectively.
- No official confirmation from Oppo or OnePlus, but sources (current/former employees) suggest the brand may be discontinued soon.
