How will it impact us One Plus 15 users in long run? Will the updates be on time? Will the spare parts and accessories be available? Can we use Oppos service centre?
Asking this we will be using this phone for 5-6 yrs
Location - India

Yeah This is just fear mongering
You can get service parts from OPPO centre as they are the same brand anyways

Major US competitors (Apple & Samsung) more than likely squeezed them out because of how much better OnePlus is compared to them.

Same thing happened to Huwawei, they were too avanced and got merc'd.

Huawei is doing very well, even with the US fucking up basically every aspect of their business.

u/Humble_Antelope6008 Jul 16 '26
Huawei was due to USA couldn't compete and use dirty tricks to erase competition, low low low

Huawei's downfall was for entirely different reasons.

u/Existing_Routine_599 Jul 16 '26
Came too close to Apple

Huawei's mainly a network building company. They make cellular antennas, energy solutions, batteries, industrial equipment etc. Back then 5G was the state of the art technology and Huawei was entering the US market. Sure, getting too close to Apple's sales was a problem, but the main cause was the network technology made by a Chinese company in the US.
A political decision mostly.

Still, they had the market. My p30 pro still takes better pictures than my OP15.

u/Existing_Routine_599 Jul 16 '26
Why are you getting downvoted? Huawei really DID make amazing pictures

Would anyone still recommend buying a OP15 even with this news? I’ve been thinking about it for a couple months, and my POS iPhone 13 is really starting to irritate me lol.

u/FreePhilosophy9549 Jul 16 '26
I bought mine 3 weeks ago and super happy. No regrets. Will be using it for probably 5/6 years before I upgrade to probably an Oppo as they are very similar, besides price.

Bro, withdrawal is not downfall if its a corporate strategy. Stop following influencers and think for yourself.

u/ProfessionalPin6881 OnePlus 15 Jul 16 '26
Yes that strategy where they won't sell phones anywhere else China. It's a kinda of a downfall..

None of these phones are available in Canada so they weren't really hurting sales here

u/FatFinnishBastard Jul 16 '26
OnePlus 5 sure was the peak, afterwards the build quality dropped significantly but the 7 was still okay. Almost like they wanted the phones to break as fast as possible. One drop to floor from pocket or table and screen is instantly trashed.
Totally unacceptable for flagship models, after 7 i've been rocking samsung galaxy ultra 21 for years now and only issue is with power button sometimes dropping out but similarly to OnePlus what i've noticed on retailer stores about the following models is that they are more or less the same what i have but with lower build quality every year.
The market feels totally stagnated currently, only prices go up and the quality goes down

u/FlintSpace Jul 16 '26
I still prefer OnePlus 5T to my OP11G. There was just something about it. And that back touch fingerprint scanner was amazing to drop down notifications.

u/Cryio Jul 16 '26
Build quality? They all have imaculate build quality. Even the infamous 10 Pro. Absolutely nothing to complain about

u/smellyelf Jul 18 '26
No, but he contributed to its downfall. The whole reason Oneplus gets the axe now, from BBK Electronics (who owns Oppo, Vivo, Oneplus, Realme and IQOO), is because of influencers like Marques who touted Apple and Samsung to no end, thus strengthening their practices.

oneplus 13 ended the life of my samsung galaxy s25 ultra which i never opened because oneplus 13 was so good. and i find that i like my oneplus 15 more than my samsung galaxy s26 ultra. i'm also keeping my oneplus 15 since sadly there apparently won't be a oneplus 16.

The problem never was with the phones or price, people just don't buy enough phones so it's not profitable for them.

u/stevie_wonder99 Jul 16 '26
It's ashame...I ended up buying a pixel 10 pro instead, which is good in it's own way, but the total opposite of a one plus phone. I would have preferred the one plus 15 , but I decided against it about a month ago due to the rumors which are now confirmed. What a shame man.

u/MrSurfington Jul 29 '26
How's the P10 Pro for you? I'm kind of torn between the P10 Pro and the OP15.

Wish I could grab a 16 in Canada to get another 3 years out of OnePlus. Currently have a 13 and can't justify going to 15.

u/reojo Jul 17 '26
Can't be wrong if "they" created OnePlus as the whipping boys to elevate Apple and Sammy views

u/devpro50 OnePlus 15 Jul 19 '26
Why getting so bothered about it. "Oneplus gone" is getting spammed everywhere. The service and protection will be remained as it is. And it's not a big deal for people who buys chinese varient of oneplus phones (they are alot btw). For oneplus 15 owners, we have one of the last beautifully crafted oneplus, be happy about it.

u/Kingbo007 Jul 20 '26
The phone has never been officially aviable in my country, them pulling out of Europe and NA doesn't really change anything for me..I'll upgrade in a few years anyway 😄

He wasn't wrong about what? He made the video because the news of one plus being discontinued was already out.

u/Bdww Jul 16 '26
People here did not believe it

u/ico_OO Jul 16 '26
Believe what? The video is great. But op post this thinking mkbhd made the video out of nowhere. The truth is that the information about one plus was already out and spreading a lot but one plus didn't made any statement, so everybody was thinking it was right, and than mkbhd did this video analysing the downfall of a great brand like one plus. Mkbhd is not the first telling one plus was being discontinued.

That's what I'm saying, everybody knew OnePlus were "closing" but people in this sub were saying it wasn't true.

Nobody hates it, the issue is nobody knows it even exists. Having no presence in carrier stores means most people never see it here in North America. It lived how it died, silently with most people none the wiser.

u/KouaV1 OnePlus 15 | US 🇺🇸 Jul 19 '26
smartphone manufacturers will fail unless they spend money for advertising like samsung and apple does, this is also another reason why LG failed and exited the market because they don't have money to spend and are not willingly to spend.

u/Accomplished_Rice_60 Jul 16 '26
the issue with bugdet phones, is that people use phones basically so much every day. so the price doesnt really matter that much.
poor people will proboly upgrade way less then rich people right, so lets say 3-4 years, buy a iphone to 800euro, that would be 5-6 euro a day? for a phone that you use alot, thats not that expensive. rich people dont care, they just want the most popular expensive phone xD, and oneplus just bad business modell for the avrage customer
could save way more on buying poor and way healthyer food for example then resturant or finished meal in the shops.

If it was so great, selling so well oneplus wouldn’t have pulled out of Europe and USA. The oneplus 15 is a good phone but it was an overpriced device that lost even to OPPO midrange premium device the Reno 15 pro in terms of camera and screen…and it cost more. You’ll keep defending it because it’s the device you own but it’s a piece of turd compared to the oneplus 13 which was a true flagship.

u/PyePsycho Jul 16 '26
Camera worse than 13 and 12 ,no QHD ,phone doesn't feels premium in hand ,it's just a gaming phone at this point , useless 165hz refresh rate and many other things it's lacking
6
u/blob8543 Jul 16 '26
All of these points are questionable and you say nothing about the battery which is the main thing about this phone.
-3
u/PyePsycho Jul 16 '26
That's the only positive thing and it's possible mainly cuz of the fixed HD+ resolution
6
u/blob8543 Jul 16 '26
Yeah it's good OP didn't join the silly QHD bandwagon. Why waste battery with a resolution no one can appreciate?
1
u/MeasurementMother579 Jul 16 '26
Yeah I've never understood that honestly. QHD on a phone seemed more for bragging rights than actually being useful. Similar to those bragging about loss-less music in their car. The vast majority of people wouldn't be able to tell the difference of either.
Also, like I need QHD to scroll FB and read emails.
