Confirmed: No more OnePlus McLaren phones
August 15, 2025
Last week, it wasreportedthat OnePlus’ partnership with McLaren might be coming to an end because the phone maker is no longer listed as a 2020 F1 partner on the McLaren website. We’ve now received official word from the British sports car manufacturer, making it clear that its long-standing partnership with OnePlus is now over.
In an emailed statement toAndroid Authority, a McLaren spokesperson said:
The last product we saw as a result of the OnePlus-McLaren partnership was theOnePlus Concept One. It had McLaren’s logo stamped on it and the company’s signature Papaya Orange leather finish. McLaren even supplied OnePlus with theelectrochromic glassfound in high-end cars for the Concept One’s camera.
Though the OnePlus Concept One never saw an official release, we did see McLaren Edition models of theOnePlus 7T ProandOnePlus 6Tthat went on sale with souped-up specs and exclusive designs. With the latest confirmation, it’s safe to say that there won’t be anyOnePlus 8McLaren editions this year, or subsequent McLaren-branded OnePlus phones in the future.

The end of OnePlus’ collaboration with McLaren doesn’t necessarily mean that there won’t be any new special edition OnePlus phones, however. The companypreviously tied up with DisneyforStar WarsandMarvel-themed devices, and we could see it enter more such partnerships in the future.
