OnePlus 5 is out of banal beyond the world, is it actuality discontinued? [Updated]

OnePlus India's General Manager Vikas Aggarwal has accepted what we all accepted — the OnePlus 5 will be discontinued already it has awash out.

Update, November 21: When the OnePlus 5 started dematerialization from OnePlus online abundance in assorted locations, we speculated that it ability accept had its day. It now appears that this is the case, based on a adduce from OnePlus India’s General Manager Vikas Aggarwal during an account with The India Express:

“If you attending at our antecedent phone, the OnePlus 3T, the aftermost accumulation was awash out during Diwali and now the artefact will be discontinued.

This, says Aggarwal, is artlessly allotment of OnePlus’ action to advance a artefact band featuring alone its latest smartphone. Thus, already the OnePlus 6 arrives, you can apprehend the OnePlus 5T to be discontinued anon thereafter also. Note that admitting these comments accompanying to the Indian market, area the OnePlus 5 can still be purchased on the online store, the action is absurd to alter in added regions; the accessory has been bare for the accomplished ages in the US, UK and elsewhere, assuming no signs of return.

So, what absolutely is activity on? OnePlus hasn’t issued a account apropos this topic, so all we can do is brainstorm at this point. It’s accessible that the aggregation is accepting accumulation issues and that the accessory will anon be aback in stock. However, the added acceptable advantage is that OnePlus is allowance its account to accomplish allowance for the accounted OnePlus 5T, which is said to be appear ancient abutting month. The accessory is accepted to appear with the aforementioned specs as the OnePlus 5 but will action a beyond 6-inch affectation (2,160 x 1,080) with an 18:9 aspect arrangement and a bezel-less design.
