Thank you for the updates guys.

I did contact oneplus, this is their reply:

"Regarding your concern, please do know that as of today, we still do not have any further update from our main office as to when it will be available. But no worries, if there will be updates about this, it will be indicated immediately on our official website and our official forums as well. I would suggest to please try to subscribe to our newsletter so that you will receive future updates."

Sounds bad, I guess I won't be able to get my hands on a OP5 midnight black.. (yes, gearbest and others have them, but I don't trust them when it comes to warranty)
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nxss4:
Could you check it again, it it gone from the swedish website too for me!
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tuqano:
Damn, I was waiting a re stock of the midnight black variant to buy! Too bad
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsuttie99:
All 4 models ship immediately in Canada as of right now.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nxss4:
Same here, I'm not happy at all. I'm not interested in a more expensive and waterproof (harder to repair) OP 5t
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] biohaz55:
OnePlus store from the UK a few minutes ago. UK phones are shipped from the same warehouse in Poland as for the rest of Europe so this is not a UK thing I don't think.

I think all speculation of a 5T is unfounded..... indeed speculation is all it is.

If I understood correctly the 3T was launched last year because of the need to switch to the 821 from 820 hence a new phone but it has been confirmed here (XDA) that there will be no 836 to succeed the 835 thus no reason for a 5T.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] valkaizer2594:
lol there wont be a 5T coz qualcomn said they are not making sd 836
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nxss4:
Really strange, I didn't know UK phones are shipped from the same warehouse, that makes it even harder to explain why it is unavailable through the rest of europe.

If we consider they are really discontinuing the Midnight black, it could be possible it'll be replaced with a special limited edition version that'll be announced on the 19th of september.

I really hope they won't bring out a 5t, they should stick with yearly upgrades.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nxss4:
I know there won't be a 836. But who knows, maybe they see waterproofing and an upgraded screen as a good reason for a 5t.

I don't give a **** about those 2, but you never know.

I'm just trying to find out why the midnight black is not on sale anymore
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tuqano:
From the Italian support:

La ringrazio per aver scelto OnePlus.

In merito alla sua richiesta riguardante la disponibilità del OnePlus 5, Midnight Black, vorrei informarla che al massimo in una settimana il nostro dispositivo sara di nuovo in vendita (il tempo del rifornimento dei nostri magazzini in Europa).

Thank you for choosing OnePlus.

Regarding your request regarding the availability of OnePlus 5, Midnight Black, I would like to inform you that within a week our device will be sold again (the time of our warehouse supply in Europe).

They told me that in a maximum of a week it will be available again in the European warehouses!
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikey_sk:
no need to worry, there's no Snapdragon 836 so if tey do release a 5T it will prob have a QHD screen and minor performance gap. And thats a BIG IF as OnePlus were universally slated last year with the 3T
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] B0unze:
they probably won't make a 5T: no SD836, no reason to upgrade selfie cam like on 3T and no battery technology improvements to fit a bigger battery in the same body so I highly doubt they will make it. Also, if they won't sell midnight black 128gb op5 will mine raise in value :P?
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] kash296:
my midnight black 5 just delivered now, and in the USA all 4 models are available to ship. Nothing to worry for now. But it's OnePlus, anything can happen.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nxss4:
That's great news!!

Thank you for the update, global and france's support refused to give a proper reply.

I'll be patient and order the day it gets back in stock again :)

I'll see you around on the forums!
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nxss4:
So true !!!
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrashTestDroid:
Bad title. Nothing is discontinued, there's no news here.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nxss4:
It looked like it was, why would they remove it from the website? Previously they would just mention "out of stock"
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pois0nDF:
Midnight Black is out of stock on the US site
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eric214:
5T ROFL. People are obsessed as soon as something came out, that's automatically the new norm. There won't be a 5T, they had a severe shortage of the SD 820 so they moved it to the SD 821.

If you are waiting on a 5T variant, you will be very disappointed, there won't be one.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dbGHOST:
How's OP5's screen comparing to 6P?

I saw you've used both so I'm really curious.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eric214:
The biggest thing you'll notice is if you use VR (which I don't use). I was concerned about the 1080p compared to the 1440p but for the most part, I can't really see a difference and I'm pretty picky. Plus the 1080p and AMOLED, I'm getting crazy good battery on stock Rom with stock kennel. Averaging about 10 hours of screen time and combined screen on time/idle drain time is about 2.5-4% an hour.

Biggest thing I miss from the 6P is the front facing speakers. That and the screen for VR is the only thing better on the 6P. EVERYTHING else is better on the OP5.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dbGHOST:
Thx!

I am using U11 rn, but my camera can't focus and I have to wait 3 more months to send it back to China for warranty. Pretty annoying.

Plus it has serious WiFi issues, loses connection every few minutes even though the setting says connected. My roommate's US version has the same issue, and we have OnHub (TP) router.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] se7ensde:
no the midnight black one is the 128/8 model I know cause I have it I ordered it on the early drop. And the 64/6 model is the slate grey.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nxss4:
If you'd have read my posts, you'd have known I want to buy the 5 but I am unable. And that I don't give a **** about the 5t (I'd see it as a major failure for oneplus).

I'm just trying to understand why it's gone from the website.

Gosh, I keep repeating myself.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nxss4:
Canada too, this is getting interesting!

Edit: same goes for hong kong :(
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] DaveP2611:
Ah yeah good point, getting my colours mixed up. Mines Midnight Black too :D:D
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eric214:
It wasn't too you specifically, just in general to all the people harping on the 5T like it's expected.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nxss4:
Ah ok, sorry for the misunderstanding :)
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dunjamon:
I hope it's some special design edition and nothing more. I've just ordered an OP5 last week, so will be gutted if it's an upgraded version. :(
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rox598:
all this talk about an upgraded version of the 5 is getting tiring to read, can we not all live in the moment of what we have? I doubt they'll do a 5T this time round and just cause a colour is gone doesn't mean thats what's gonna happen.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] kipue:
Also, not discontinued, simply out of stock.

Here a screenie of OnePlus hk.

Also screens of the Mainland China website.

I think it is simply out of stock...
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nxss4:
I do really hope you're right, but I've never seen oneplus remove a product from their website when it's out of stock.

My guess is that it'll be replaced by a special version from that French designer that'll be unveiled on the 19th of September.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dunjamon:
That's true. I'll enjoy it when it eventually arrived for sure. My first handset that's not a nexus in many many years.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Beukhof1:
The NL store now only has slate grey / gold option. No more midnight black to select.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eric214:
You do have 14 days to return it if that is the case, but I highly doubt it.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nxss4:
I haven't ordered it yet, I wish, as my current phone is broken (no image on the screen).

I just hope the midnight black gets back in stock soon, cause a few weeks without a phone is pretty hard ;)
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrashTestDroid:
It's back in stock in Canada and they e-mailed me this morning even though I never asked for updates. Enjoy your mountain constructed from mole hill material.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nxss4:
Thanks for the update, but I still don't get why people are so butthurt
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sarabveer:
Midnight Black is out of stock in the USA
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tuqano:
I'm not a conspirator and I'm not insinuating anything... but could that be a reason why the midnight variant is unavailable? :confused:

[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] zoarquenix:
It's not about people butthurting over this, but because we are tiring seeing and reading these kind of "overanalysis" or "overspeculation" or whatever over the tiniest thing happened to OnePlus.

*OP5 out of stock = OMG IT'S DISCONTINUED

*OP5 in stock = OMG IT'S SELLING POORLY

*OnePlus not yet release an update = OMG THEY ABANDON US

*OnePlus release an update = OMG WHAT'S THE SIGN OF THIS?

*OnePlus writes a blog = OMG ARE THEY CONFESSING? THEY OUT OF BUSINESS!

Being a "psychic" is tiring, I guess.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrashTestDroid:
Spam threads like this with speculation posted as solid info annoy a lot of people by lowering the SNR.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nxss4:
I'm gonna laugh so hard on you if they really discontinue the midnight black and replace it with the special design one to be announced on the 19th ;)

And you gotta stop saying 'out of stock', they removed it from the website, that is a whole lotta different than simply out of stock.

To this day, none of you have given me an answer to this simple question:

Why would they remove it from the website when it is simply out of stock?
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nxss4:
I was aware of the event on the 19th, But both are interesting, thanks!
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] zoarquenix:
Sure. That's the beauty of future-reading. When it's not proven, then it's gonna be forgotten like nothing happened. But when it's really happen, you'll be like "SEE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT? DAMN I'M A PSYCHIC". Either way, you always win.

People with this overanalysing overspeculating overconcluding things are ill. Maybe one day they'll also guessing the world is ending because they accidentally spilled a cup of water.

And the answer for your stupid question :

"WE DONT KNOW. WE DONT WORK FOR ONEPLUS FFS."

*Why those purple-colored cabbage named red cabbage when it is simply purple? Why?*
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrashTestDroid:
Good question Chicken Little. Answer me this then: why would they put it back exactly like before if it's discontinued?
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nxss4:
Let me answer that question for you: I wish, as I want to order my op5 Midnight, But they didn't....

[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kahun:
Well we could now class the Midnight Black as sort of limited edition. Even tho it's the most common one lol but won't be available anymore
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] L22EEW:
Midnight black still shows as being available on UK site (checked 13:45, 14.09.2017)
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nxss4:
Thank you so much for the update!

Just like I expected, But that's some really sad news!

They discontinued the best color version of their device, let's just hope the special design version will be as good looking as midnight black
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] kipue:
My Midnight black is in super good condition, anybody interested? :D

(Joke, eh)
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nxss4:
It has now been deleted from the US and Canada webstores too, and it's out of stock in the UK and malta.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mcg:
That's hilarious, was about to consider ordering the OP5 over the weekend but since they discontinued the colour I want, they won't be getting my business. A shame.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nxss4:
The same goes for me, I don't get why they would discontinue their most popular color
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Slash8915:
Damn, looks like I got one of the last ones. Resale value just went up.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] rickysidhu_:
Canadian store shows slate grey as the 128GB option as well, looks like the midnight black colour is in fact gone!
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] BoboBrazil:
Probably gone because the new RED color will be in a few days.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mcg:
I read the thread here or somewhere during work right now and it seems like there may be an issue with the paint on the midnight black? Only one case though. The guy was having his paint rub off on the back part of his phone.

I doubt it's the case why the colour was pulled, may be linked to the oneplus announcement coming soon?

International oneplus support is looking into the message from the italian support someone posted earlier.

They say they are not aware that the midnight black surely isn't coming back, strange
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nxss4:
The 5t isn't coming, as they are still producing the OP5 in slate gray and soft gold. They'll just replace midnight black with another color on the 19th of september

It's only a colour. Buy a black cover for it and the issue has gone.

[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] shayangh:
yeah, I have noticed it gone as well. Not that big of an issue, but a heads-up from OP would have been nice . . .

Uhm, I personally don't use cases. So it's still an issue
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nxss4:
Statement from international support:

"Thanks for sharing the information. We've checked the case details. Upon that, as one of our team members stated, we do not have information regarding the product availability. We suggest you to please stay tuned with us for the stock availability updates."

Kinda mysterious ;)
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] L22EEW:
What is the reason why they have discontinued the midnight black?

Was it because of the colour peeling from the phone? As currently mine seems to be OK. Although I do currently have it protected in a armour case.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrashTestDroid:
Still available in Canada and US.

Local unavailability for you doesn't mean it's discontinued.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mcg:
Not available for order in Canada. Not sure if you're looking at a cached webpage?
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nxss4:
Ugl, it would be nice if you'd check things before opening your mouth (not trying to be rude here, but your false claims are starting to irritate me)

I've provided proof (screenshots) countless times, and still you keep saying it's available in the US and it's just out of stock.

Please provide a screenshot (with date), this way we can check if there is maybe something wrong with their website.

Screenhot, taken today:
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nxss4:
Wait, you quoted a post with a screenshot from the US website, clearly showing it has been removed. And still you say it's available in the US.

Where's the logic?
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrashTestDroid:
I checked before posting. It was there. It's available in Canada, Austria, Ireland (first 3 I checked) so it's obvious midnight black is not discontinued.

Temporary unavailability isn't discontinued.

Look here. It was in stock just after midnight today. Your alarmist BS is misleading a lot of simpletons in this thread.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nxss4:
This is really interesting, I'm sorry about this whole situation.

Everytime I check the website the OP5 midnight black is gone, I'm glad you provided me that website.

I've set it to notify me once it's available in france, so I can order it right away.

Thanks and sorry about the misunderstanding!

i can paint it black for you! gonna cost more than $520, though. how about i sell you my s8???

Might as well play this a couple times on the gray OP5, looks way cheaper

It has not yet completely disappear from OP's website. But it show clearly it is unvailable.

Since they don't completely remove it, it's likely they will make some more.

[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nxss4:
Ah yes, I just read your comment on reddit ;) But I think it's because Malta has some kind of small, intermediate warehouse.

In Malta, it has been in stock for a long time even though it was out of stock for the rest of Europe.

It should disappear within the next few days, we should keep an eye on it though!

Conversation with customer support live chat:

Steven

Hello there,

I was about to purchase a Oneplus 5 midnight black, but then I noticed that it is no longer available as an option to select. As well, the Oneplus 5 graphics page no longer displays the midnight black edition. Will midnight black ever be coming back for sale? If so, when is the expected return date, and if not, why has it been discontinued?

Chat started

Customer Service

Thanks for contacting OnePlus Customer Support, please wait a moment while our agents attend to you.

Leon joined the chat

Leon

Thank you for contacting OnePlus Customer Support, my name is Leon, I'd be more than happy to help!

Thank you for the interest of our OnePlus 5 Midnight Black Steven and we really do appreciate it.

Please be reminded that our (OP5 Midnight Black) is selling out very quickly and it is sold out in some regions. If you don’t see the (OP5 Midnight Black) under the variant option, then it will not be in stock again. However, we have still OnePlus 5 slate gray available in our official web store Steven. They still have the same specs and features.

Steven

I will consider the slate grey option, but could you tell me why black will not be restocked if it's selling so well?

Leon

I'm afraid to say this that our OnePlus 5 Midnight Black is a limited edition only Steven and we will no longer do restocking on it.

Or you may always stay tuned in our official social media sites also for further exciting future announcement.

Steven

Ok, thank you for your help Leon
