Reason for OnePlus to withdraw from Indonesia in 2016 was a law change made by Indonesian government. By law, foreign smartphone manufacturers were required to use at least 30% of these domestic components, including hardware/software, for smartphone components sold in Indonesia. This caused a big confusion for OnePlus Indonesia and OnePlus Indonesia therefore decided to exit the market.
Today OnePlus Indonesia Twitter account has been re-opened, other old account has been abandoned since 2016, possibly lost access. With statement made from new official Twitter account, OnePlus Indonesia team has been officially re-established. In addition, Facebook, Telegram and WhatsApp communities were created to support Indonesian users. In addition, OnePlus invites all Indonesian users back to the official OnePlus Community forum.
