Best Buy Pulls OnePlus Demo Phones as Nothing Takes Their Place

Overview

• Store checks and shopper reports show OnePlus demo phones have been removed from many Best Buy locations in the United States, with some remaining units left unpowered.
• The empty display spots often now feature Nothing phones, with Android Authority, 9to5Google, and Wave7 Research documenting the switch.
• OnePlus devices are still for sale on BestBuy.com, and some stores offer local pickup depending on the model and location.
• OnePlus says it is evaluating its North America roadmap and product strategy, and it promises ongoing support and software updates.
• The shift follows executive turnover in India, layoffs in Europe, and reports that OnePlus has merged key departments with Realme during OPPO’s broader restructuring.
