Rumours that OnePlus could be about to scale back its global smartphone operations have been swirling for months, following a significant slump in sales. And now a new report has sparked speculation that the company may be about to withdraw from a number of global markets entirely.
On 24 March, 9to5Google reported that OnePlus would “cease operations in certain regions” including in “swathes of Europe”, potentially as early as April. Citing a source familiar with the matter, 9to5Google claims some staff have already been informed of the plans, with severance packages issued ahead of a possible withdrawal.
