What happened
OnePlus India CEO Robin Liu in a post on the social network X officially denied rumours about the alleged closure of the company. The message appeared after an article by Android Headlines, which sparked a wave of concern among users and partners.
"I wanted to address some misinformation that has been circulating about OnePlus India and its operations. We’re operating as usual and will continue to do so. Never Settle."
— Robin Liu, CEO of OnePlus India
Why the rumours started
The reasons are simple: a combination of a media signal and real difficulties. The piece in Android Headlines kicked things off, but attention was amplified by two factors — reports of an arrest warrant in Taiwan concerning the CEO and analyst data from Omdia, which recorded a 20% drop in sales in 2024. Such a mix — legal troubles + falling metrics — creates fertile ground for speculation.
What this means for users and the market (including Ukraine)
For consumers the key question is whether service is operating, and whether there will be updates and warranty support. Robin Liu’s words indicate a desire to preserve operational stability.
The product portfolio also reminds us of another point: in 2025 OnePlus released the OnePlus 15 and Ace 6 with large batteries — 7300 and 7800 mAh respectively — indicating continued investment in development and positioning in the mass market. For Ukrainian buyers this means access to competitive devices remains available.
What to watch
- Official company announcements and messages from distributors in your country.
- Availability of security updates and device support.
- Offers and warranty terms from local sellers — sometimes changes in the supply chain affect service first, not the brand itself.
Summary
The denial from the head of OnePlus India is an important signal, but not a final verdict for the market. The combination of legal issues and falling sales produced an information surge; now the emphasis shifts to documented actions — public reports, partners’ decisions, and sales figures in the coming quarters. Whether the brand can retain consumer trust depends on transparency and stability of service, not on media headlines.
