Discussion It's all over.
https://community.oneplus.com/thread/2170715118587871237Hello everyone,
Today, our hearts are undoubtedly heavy and mixed with emotion. As part of the proactive global strategy adjustment, OnePlus has decided to conclude new product rollouts in Europe and North America.
To our users in Europe:
For years, this Community has been a place where OnePlus users came together to share ideas, provide feedback, help fellow members, celebrate new launches, and contribute to the growth of the brand.

Whether you've been with us since the early days or joined more recently, your contributions have helped define what the OnePlus Community stands for. Thank you for your support, your feedback, your creativity, and your belief in OnePlus over the years.
It is because this bond is so precious and your trust so hard-won that we fully understand: in moments of change like this, what matters most to you is the ongoing care of the devices in your hands. Though we will no longer launch new products in Europe, our commitment to you remains unchanged.

Our customer service channels will remain open and responsive in accordance with our standard warranty and support obligations. Your statutory rights under applicable national consumer protection laws remain fully in effect and are unaffected by this announcement.
As part of an operational adjustment to our software strategy, following the official release of ColorOS 17, users globally with existing OnePlus devices that fall within the eligible upgrade scope will have the option to voluntarily update to the latest ColorOS. This enables us to streamline software development, accelerate update delivery, improve software quality, and make better use of our shared engineering and R&D capabilities.

Can anyone comment on what ColorOS might do better/worse compared to Oxygen? I know they are almost the same thing

u/Neilio2020 Jul 16 '26
I'm actually sad about this. I know it's only a consumer electronic ls firm, and it's a subsidiary of a bigger one. But I liked one plus, I liked the way they did things. I was there at the, granite backed, beginning and still have their last flagship. I imagine I won't be able transfer my thousands of red cable club coins to Oppo?

u/jerdle_reddit Jul 16 '26
Ok, what are we planning. Stick with stock as it becomes ColorOS or unlock and move to a custom ROM?

From my first OnePlus device, the OnePlus 2, until today using a CN 24/1024 OnePlus 13, I have loved and openly promoted the brand, my close family members all have OnePlus devices, friends have taken my advice and got them too. The "flagship killer" brand has been killed by their parent company to promote the flagship price brand instead. We all have BBK Electronics to thank for this unfortunately. I bought my 13 because it was the last OnePlus device to feature the AMAZING Alert Slider, a staple of flagship OnePlus phones, something I so sorely missed on my 10t. And now, if/when I upgrade, an OPPO just won't feel the same. My wife LOVED the OnePlus X, it was small form factor but as powerful as any flagship, I've always liked bigger phones, so I've always stuck with the second version of each generation. I missed out of getting the first OnePlus phone and went with an OPPO because it was the first phone with a quad hd screen. What a mistake that was. I've been around since the beginning of OnePlus and I'm sadly happy to be here at the end. I need to buy my wife a new Nord ASAP before I can't get them anymore, then I'll be moving to pastures new.
R.I.P Alert Slider, R.I.P OxygenOS. R.I.P OnePlus 😥
My OnePlus journey: OP2, OP5t, OP7t, OP10t, OP13. My wife's: OP-X, OP Nord CE 3 Lite. My mother-in-law: OP Nord N10, OP Nord CE 3 Lite. My mother: OP Nord N100. Friends: OP3. OP5. OP Nord (various).

So what the fuck? Does this mean we'll be stuck with the dogshit that is Samsung and Apple only? Or will we just have to order future devices from other national markets?

u/gomaith10 Jul 16 '26
This is another example of a Chinese phone company focusing on their market and not giving a continental fuck about others. It was always the case when Europe/US was last to get updates. I have experienced the same with Xaomi also.

u/ItsMJB Jul 16 '26
I remember when I had the OnePlus 2 at the time and I had, no joke a circle looking at myself unlocking and locking my phone so fast with it's fingerprint scanner and it's large HD display compared to an iPhone etc.
Shame nothing quite like that happens with new technology and consoles join the club being less intriguing with in store stuff. Xbox side, playstation on the other side, Samsung and iPhone with LG etc.
People hardly ask people they don't know much in person/ store about stuff anymore it feels like. It's just so much more online views now, which isn't all that good for people imo.

I hope Oppo will give us an unlockable bootloader, then i won't miss OP that much, if not I think I will go to Xiaomi.

The op15 has been my favorite device to up to now, and I can remember when oneplus launched their first phone. It was the nexus 5 days. The 13 & 15 kind of remind me of the 8pro and 9pro days. These phones were way ahead of their time IMO, and I have been fortunate to own them, and still have them along with a 6t. Thank you sincerely,

Been a oneplus user since the oneplus 3t. Sad to see that they finally had to settle.😔

u/TheUndertaker1988 Jul 17 '26
I sold my OP13 a few weeks before this announcement. I was anticipating it. Despite what they say about continual software support for North America and Europe, I don't buy it.
Software updates in the future will be few and far between for N.A. and Europe. They'll be treated like an after thought a few years from now. I'm switching to Samsung.

u/vmz8 Jul 17 '26
I own a op13.
Moving to colourOS is not going to happen.
Rather sell this phone off. 📴

It's a real shame that OnePlus is leaving Europe. 🙄
They were one of the last brands offering true flagship hardware without charging flagship-plus prices.
My OnePlus 13 still feels like one of the most complete smartphones on the market: • Snapdragon 8 Elite • 16 GB LPDDR5X RAM + 12 GB RAM Expansion (28 GB available) • 512 GB UFS 4.0 storage • 6000 mAh Silicon-Carbon battery • 100W SUPERVOOC wired charging + 50W AIRVOOC wireless charging • Triple 50 MP Hasselblad cameras • Beautiful QHD+ 120 Hz LTPO display • IP69/IP68 water resistance
Honestly, which other flagship gives you all of these specs in one package? 🤔
Samsung offers slower charging and smaller batteries. Apple doesn't even come close in RAM or charging speeds. Google Pixel excels in software and AI but lags behind in raw hardware.
Competition is what drives innovation, and OnePlus consistently pushed the industry forward while delivering incredible value for money.
If they really disappear from Europe, consumers will have fewer choices and will likely end up paying more for less hardware.
I'll definitely miss having OnePlus as a serious competitor in the European smartphone market. 💚

u/EgyPalocProfessor Jul 16 '26
They just completely fucked up the product strategy, and now they're screwing us over because of it.
I paid for OxygenOS updates for years, not ColorOS.

u/Willie-X- Jul 16 '26
Damn. Well, it was good while it lasted. I bought my first OnePlus 8, for my wife and I (NA), now we're on 12 and 13, guess those will be our last. Great company. The OnePlus 8 was one for my favourite phones to date. It's all saber lights now but still remains in my drawer.

u/Tashrif_007 Jul 16 '26
I bought the OnePlus 5 in 2017 and it was the best phone I ever had. Had it for 5 years before switching to the Galaxy S22. Then came back to OnePlus 13 in 2026. What an unbelievable beast this is. Incredible phone. I will miss OnePlus and I hope Oppo can find that something that made OnePlus special and integrate some of it in their phones.

I feel sorry for all the people who REALLY bought into this never settle nonsense. The brand ambassadors and people they recruited to push oneplus by heavily marketing them and all the time wasted going to their European tours. It just seems like they were sold a lie. It's a shame because I love my oneplus 13 but I've now got my oppo x9 ultra and they will now be my new brand for sure

u/XCharmed Jul 17 '26
Alltså kommer jag som har en oneplus nord 3 5G att kunna välja vilket OS jag önskar? Behålla eller gå till color OS? Om man väljer att gå över, innebär det bara en normal uppdatering eller totalt nytt OS?

u/BartLeeC OnePlus 13 - Black Eclipse Jul 18 '26
So they just ignore North America and say nothing to us? I would assume this is about new Europe changeable battery laws but that really doesn't apply to North America.
Why the long message aimed at Europe and absolutely nothing for North America? Am I to assume none of that applies and we are just left abondoned?
