Update: to include OnePlus Nord 3 European release details
The upcoming OnePlus Nord 3 will not be sold in the UK, the company has confirmed to Tech Advisor.
OnePlus has also suspended UK sales of some of its smartphones on its official website.
“Nord 3 is not expected to go on sale in the UK at all, but this may change in the future. Other markets are not affected,” a OnePlus spokesperson told Tech Advisor per E-mail.
The original OnePlus Nord was sold in the UK, as was the Nord 2 and Nord 2T from 2022.
The OnePlus Nord 3 is the company’s latest mid-range phone and is set to launch on July 5, after being teased on Twitter by OnePlus President and COO Kinder Liu.
The spokesperson said the Nord 3 will be available in 16 EU markets.
OnePlus denied in March that it was leaving the UK and European markets after claims to the contrary. The company no longer sells phones in Germany following a legal claim by Nokia that OnePlus and Oppo failed to pay for the use of Nokia 5G patents.
“We would also like to reaffirm that OnePlus remains committed to the UK, a key market for us and the entire European region and we will continue to launch more products in the region,” OnePlus said in a separate emailed statement. .
“Due to customs-related logistics issues causing delays in order fulfillment, we have temporarily suspended sales of our smartphones through OnePlus.com.
“This affects some of our smartphones in the UK, including the upcoming OnePlus Nord 3 5G. We are working hard to resolve these issues quickly and would like to thank our valued community for their patience.
Tech Advisor posed questions to OnePlus after noticing that all phones in its UK online store were showing as “out of stock” on Wednesday and Thursday.

On Friday morning, the OnePlus 10T and OnePlus Nord 2T were in stock for UK buyers, but the new OnePlus 11 and OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite were not.
“As far as inventory is concerned, the website is up to date,” the spokesperson said.
“If it’s listed as in stock, people can buy and receive it as normal. If the stock runs out, the website will reflect that and customers won’t be able to buy.
At the time of writing, most OnePlus headphones were in stock at its UK store, as were the recently released OnePlus Pad tablet and its accessories.
OnePlus recently changed its social media profiles to Twitter and Instagram to manage “Europe” accounts and no longer retains “UK” handles.
“The renaming of our social account is part of our larger plan to build social audiences across Europe,” OnePlus said.
