OnePlus Global Exit Rumours Surface Again
Back in January 2026, rumours started circulating that OnePlus was shutting down its global operations. At that time, OnePlus India CEO Robin Liu had stated that there would be no changes to the India operations and that these were merely rumours. And yesterday, tipster Yogesh Brar again shared that OnePlus is planning to shut down its operations across several global markets, including the US, UK, and EU. For India, however, he added that the brand will continue its operations and may focus more on the budget and mid-range smartphone segments.
However, new reports have started emerging that OnePlus India CEO Robin Liu has resigned from his position and has moved back to China. Confirming this development, OnePlus India issued a statement saying, “We thank Robin for his contributions to OnePlus India. He moves on to pursue his personal passions, and we wish him the very best for his future endeavours.” It further added, “OnePlus India operations continue with local strategy and business continuity ensured.”
Speaking more about the brand’s position in the market. OnePlus once had a strong presence in the premium smartphone segment. However, with rising competition from brands like Samsung and Vivo, it has been losing ground. In 2024, OnePlus held around 3.5% market share in India, which reportedly declined to about 2.7% in 2025.
As of now, there is no official update as to who will lead the India operations going forward. However, it is expected that the brand may soon announce a successor. In the meantime, the current team is likely to oversee operations in the meantime.
