OnePlus India CEO Robin Liu on Wednesday cleared the air around the smartphone giant's future, a day after a shocking report claimed it was going to be "dismantled" and "wound down".
"[OnePlus India is] operating as usual and will continue to do so," he said in an X post, flagging the recent Android Headline report as "misinformation".
I wanted to address some misinformation that has been circulating about OnePlus India and its operations.

The viral report had claimed that Oppo was quietly shutting down OnePlus.
The report cited the smartphone maker's performance across the R&D, Business, and Marketing sectors in three countries—China (the headquarters), as well as the regional offices in India, Europe, and the US.
The report also claimed that this was backed up by data from four independent analyst firms, as well as their own experience.
This comes after OnePlus launched its flagship 15 series in India on November 2025, followed by the OnePlus 15R and the OnePlus Pad Go 2 in December.
However, other reports speculate that the brand has even cancelled plans to launch the OnePlus 15s—its compact flagship in the 15 series—and the OnePlus Open 2, a notebook-like foldable device.
The Android Headline report also pointed out that OnePlus had made a whopping 30.5 per cent year-on-year decline by Q3 2025—it had gone from a 3.6 per cent market share in Q3 2024 to 2.4 per cent in Q3 2025, as per IDC data.
Specifically, OnePlus India saw a 13 per cent year-on-year decline in revenue to Rs 12,983 crore in FY25, while net profits fell sharply from Rs 230 crore to Rs 16 crore over the same period.
To make matters worse, OnePlus is currently facing a tax notice of Rs 93 crore from the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council over its 'Green Line Worry Free Solution'.
This is its lifetime screen replacement programme to combat the issue of a green line appearing on its AMOLED screens, especially after software updates.
