Update:

Here’s an official statement from OnePlus regarding this story.

OPPO and OnePlus are committed to all the existing European markets and the UK. We had a great start in 2023 with the successful launches of several products in Europe and have a line-up of upcoming products for the rest of the year. As always, OPPO and OnePlus will continue to provide more innovative products and the best-in-class service for users moving forward.

Chinese smartphones have the highest sale numbers in the Asian subcontinent as compared to the rest of the world, and that’s a fact. OPPO and OnePlus are among the leading mobile technology brands in China, offering a range of impressive products that rival those of Apple and Samsung in the US and South Korea. However, recent doubts have been cast over their future in international markets, particularly in Europe.

The leak from Max Jambor, who has a reliable track record in the tech industry, suggested that OPPO and OnePlus would be pulling out of the European market, starting with Germany, UK, France, and the Netherlands. This caused concern among customers and tech enthusiasts alike. Fortunately, an official spokesperson for OnePlus has released a statement clarifying that both companies remain committed to their existing European markets, including the UK. The successful launches of several products in early 2023, such as the OPPO Find N2 Flip and OnePlus 11, demonstrate their continued interest in this region. Moreover, they have a line-up of upcoming products scheduled for release later this year.

While this statement may refute Max Jambor’s claims, it is still unclear what OPPO and OnePlus plan to do beyond 2023. It should be noted that the OnePlus 11 did not launch in Germany due to an ongoing patent dispute, but this does not indicate a total abandonment of the European market by OnePlus. Although the EU and UK markets may not be as significant as the US market, it is unlikely that any major tech company would leave them without a good reason. Whether OPPO and OnePlus have such reasons for considering a pullout will become clearer over time. Until then, interested consumers can freely purchase OPPO and OnePlus devices from European Markets.
