3 articles · Updated · Neowin · Jul 16

Summary

  • OnePlus said it is pulling out of the U.S., Canada and European markets, confirming a retreat Bloomberg had reported could begin this week.
  • Oppo’s restructuring is driving the move after weak momentum in the U.S., Europe and India and mounting concerns around Chinese smartphone brands in the U.S.
  • China remains active for OnePlus for now, but the shutdown could spread to other markets including India next year; sibling brand Realme is also leaving China.
  • ColorOS 17 is replacing OnePlus’s software identity for eligible devices, extending Oppo’s broader plan to fold OnePlus and Realme closer into its core brand.
  • Oppo and its sub-brands ranked fourth in global smartphone shipments in Q2 2026, but their market share fell to 10%, down 2 percentage points from a year earlier.
