OnePlus leaving UK Market

[martint235]

So based on the reports that OnePlus will leave the UK market possibly as early as April, what are people's thoughts?

I don't think it will affect OS updates but it does mean that my next phone won't be a OnePlus. I'm thinking about switching onto the Samsung path straight away but will wait for the formal announcement from OnePlus.

This is not good news, hopefully just a rumor but I would wait until it's official to decide, you will still get updates.

OnePlus is certainly not striking a posture of strength or confidence in the marketplace. I'd not be inclined to purchase a device from a manufacturer that appears to be circling the drain.

This is definitely disappointing to hear as the options in the US just keep getting slimmer. We need more options!! A select few having a stranglehold on the market is not good for the consumer!

Very true.

It appears that this is true. I've heard from several big sources reporting on this. It's definitely not good for the market. It's sad because it took them a long time to be accepted by all the major carriers in the U.S., including Verizon.

I wonder if we'll still be able to buy Buds and other accessories from them. My guess is yes.

That's the reason why Oppo is entering the U.S. market at the end of April.

That's definitely good news, they will bring competition.
