It looks like the higher integration into Oppo just leads to both brands more or less elling the same devices. So Oppo will take the place, but if it will also expand in America given the circumstances, noone can tell.
What a sad day, especially in the US market. I loved HTC's metal designs and missed them when they left. I had a couple OnePlus devices and thought they were great! The OP15 has the best battery life for a device you can buy in the US and now it's all gone. I was hopefully they'd expand and launch the smaller "T" series devices...but instead they abandoned all their markets except for China.
Will Oppo expand their operations instead? I highly doubt it. Unfortunately in the US, Apple has the market cornered along with Samsung in 2nd. I'm already importing devices just to get larger batteries.
So, the time has come: OnePlus will soon no longer be available in Europe and many other regions of the world. As an editor at notebookcheck, I've followed the brand from the very beginning, and I'd like to look back on our shared history.
