OnePlus flatly denies shutdown rumors, calls report 'false' (Updated: North America statement)

Update, January 21, 2026 (06:52 AM ET): OnePlus North America has also shared a similar statement with us, reproduced below:

OnePlus North America continues to operate, with full guarantee of users’ after-sales support, software updates, and rights commitments.

This provides some much-needed clarity on OnePlus’s future in the US.

Original article, January 20, 2026 (11:32 PM ET): OnePlus has issued a blunt response to a recent report that claimed that the company is being “dismantled.” OnePlus’ India CEO, Robin Liu, has outright denied the claims and confirmed the company is not shutting down.

In a statement shared on X, Liu said the recent Android Headlines report suggesting the company is closing operations is “false” and “unverified.” The company added that its business operations are continuing as normal, pushing back against claims that the brand is being dismantled or quietly wound down.

“We urge all stakeholders to verify information from official sources before sharing unsubstantiated claims,” the statement reads.

While OnePlus did not address claims of internal restructuring or strategic shifts, Liu’s message makes it very clear that OnePlus isn’t going anywhere for now. OnePlus India also previously told Android Authority that its business operations will remain normal.

That said, there’s still little clarity around OnePlus’ plans in the US. The company’s American arm has yet to respond to the allegations.
