Early OnePlus 16 hype suggests firm may have ditched its key markets too soon
If only OnePlus waited just a little but longer to pull the plug.
The OnePlus 16, a highly anticipated flagship device, has generated significant buzz despite the company's withdrawal from key markets. Affected regions include the EU and North America, where users feel disillusioned by the decision. To gauge public sentiment, a survey was conducted among readers, with 2,214 votes cast. It was found that nearly half of the respondents (48%) expressed excitement about the OnePlus 16 if the company had not announced its departure from these markets.
In response, OnePlus fans in the affected regions voiced their disappointment, with some even wishing that others wouldn't buy the phone until the company reconsidered its decision.
Nonetheless, the majority of respondents (44%) remain excited for the OnePlus 16, citing their love for OnePlus devices. This preference leaves only 8% of voters who aren't eagerly anticipating the new flagship. Should the OnePlus 16 prove to be a strong contender, potential buyers may consider importing it from third-party retailers. However, the burning question remains: would you consider purchasing an imported OnePlus device, or have your OnePlus smartphone days come to an end?
