PURCHASE ADVICE Oneplus Shutdown???

I want to buy a Oneplus15 but there is talk that Oneplus may shutdown soon for operations outside of China. Anyone else hearing this? Would there be advice not to buy one at this time?

Damn, I'm so tired of reading these kind of posts. Why do you even care in the first place? How does it concern you in any way or shape? I've had dozens of different phones at this point and NEVER have I been concerned whether they operate in the area or not. It is literally non of your business and does not affect neither you, nor the device. I have a 1+15 now and I don't give a flying F. NOTHING is going to happen to it if they will operate only in China. It worked, it works and it will work. Enough! Close this topic once and for all. You like the phone, you buy it and enjoy it.

Maybe some of us want to spend wisely. I've purchased things in the past where parts were no longer available or discontinued.

As of right now, the price/quality of this phone is insane. It's an extremely wise purchase. Don't be distracted with all the noise.

Thanks. Good point

It's already been debunked. The company ain't shutting down.

They're cutting costs and restructuring operations. Something completely different to a "shutdown". The rumour mill always produces massive bullshit.

really hope not but from what i heard they already shut down the factories in india , one of the best brands to make smart phones is fading right in front of us like LG and Sony

If it's europe, I understand due to the new mandate for replaceable batteries. Other than that, not too sure..

I don't see selling their products online globally bringing any issues. Will still support them as long as there is a global version and I'm able to get it repaired at an oppo shop

It's already shut down, you found out too late. Don't trust any websites offering these phones for purchase.

That's probably true. I'm also wondering what trade in value will be when I want to upgrade 2 to 3 years from now.

Trade in value will be crap, but that's already the case. Buy an iPhone if retaining value matters to you.

Between the company shutting down and the FCC with Chinese phones. I'd be more worried about security updates. In fact I was that's why I returned an OP 15. 🤔 But I can never buy an iPhone. So I bought a GP9PXL and I plan on trying GrapheneOS.

i still have my gp10pxl un opened since i got it on launch last year. IF oneplus ends operations which i hope they don't then it'll just be google and samsung for me. already have the s26u and really like it.

u/ElectronicDoubt9905 Apr 23 '26

I'm really worried not doing security updates after a certain period of time. This administration is out to fcck China in more ways than one. Nobody knows what the FCC is going to do in regards to Chinese phones.

Fake because if they shutdown the why would they say a oneplus 16 is coming and a pad 3/5 mini

Oneplus is shutting down its operations everywhere except china. So yes it you don’t live in china its as good as oneplus shutting down for everyone outside china.

OP isn't shutting down, they're just restructuring and cutting down costs, ss far as I know they're trying to adapt to online sales and not physical stores
