A new report suggests OPPO and OnePlus could be making their exodus from major markets in the EU. A post in Chinese publication 36Kr suggests the BBK-owned entities are considering pulling out of the U.K. and Germany, and a tweet by leaker Max Jambor indicates France and The Netherlands may also be affected.
Both OPPO and OnePlus have faced significant challenges in Germany in the last six months. A patent lawsuit filed by Nokia (the networking services provider, not HMD Global) effectively barred both OPPO and OnePlus from selling phones in Germany in August 2022, and if you go to the OnePlus Germany site, you will see the company's latest launches — including the Buds Pro 2 and the OnePlus Pad — but no phones at all.
