The OnePlus Open 2 might be the thinnest foldable ever

The OnePlus Open 2 promises to be an incredibly slender device, perhaps even the thinnest phone ever made. Leaks earlier in the year suggested a thickness of just 9.2mm, and now an image shared by Oppo executive Billy Zhang gives us a look at just how slim the phone actually is.

The Oppo Find N5 — believed to have a virtually identical design to the OnePlus Open 2 — is smaller than the iPad Pro, a device that is 5.3mm thick. While folded, the OnePlus Open 2 is said to be less than 9.2mm, and somewhere under five when unfolded with a weight of less than 219 grams.

Tipster Digital Chat Station corroborated some of this information in a post on Weibo, claiming that it will run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite, support 80W wired charging and 50W wireless charging, and have a triple camera setup.

I can't believe how slim our latest foldable is.

However, the iPad Pro M4 isn’t the OnePlus Open 2’s biggest competition. That goes to the Honor Magic v3, the current holder of the title of “thinnest phone” at just 4.4mm thick when unfolded. It’s not out of the question, though — especially when held against the most recent images of the Find N5. The post has since been deleted, as the tipster — one Chen Zhen — previously faced fines for releasing information early.

But this is the Internet, and nothing ever truly goes away. The images were captured and shared across the web. From what we can see in the pictures, the Find N5 comes with the alert slider, a volume rocker, and an integrated fingerprint scanner. Eagle-eyed viewers also spotted a microphone and USB-C port, and the original story from Gizmodo China claimed a SIM card slot was also present, but blocked by a thumb.

We advise a bit of skepticism when reviewing leaks like this. Until word officially comes down the pipeline from OnePlus, everything is speculation (even if that speculation is based on known patterns). The company is set to announce the device sometime in Q1 2025, most likely after Oppo formally announces the Find N5.

Galaxy Z Fold 8 may arrive soon, and the biggest upgrades just leaked
The battery and charging speeds are finally getting upgraded on the Galaxy Z Fold 8
Galaxy Z Fold 7 hands on

For the past two years, Samsung has launched its flagship foldable smartphones in July, and the upcoming 8-series foldables are expected to arrive sometime in the latter half of the month. This time, Samsung appears to have three foldables planned instead of the usual two, including the Galaxy Z Flip 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8, and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra.

The Z Fold 8 Ultra is expected to keep the familiar tall form factor seen on the Galaxy Z Fold 7. The standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 may be the more interesting model, as it is expected to adopt a shorter and wider design. Ahead of launch, alleged specifications for this model have surfaced through a post on X by SamMobile.

The Clicks Communicator just showed off its software, and it actually looks promising
The keyboard phone is back, and this first peek at its software has us grinning.

The Clicks team finally gave us a first look at the Communicator software, and as someone who misses physical keyboards, I am genuinely excited about what I saw. We have seen plenty of the Communicator's design and hardware in previous teasers, but this is the first time we get to watch the software running on a real, working unit. And honestly, it does a good job of showing why a keyboard-first phone might still have a place in 2026.

Next Pro iPhone just fell out of Apple's secret vault
iPhone 18 Pro revealed in a massive leak

Most iPhone leaks are predictable. You'll see a case show up or an early leak showcase the mold of the upcoming iPhones. But the leak this time around is a bigger deal, since it has basically just revealed the device as it's being tested.

A new post from leaker Ice Universe claims to show the iPhone 18 Pro undergoing a drop test. The clip itself is short, but it gives us a proper look at an unreleased Pro iPhone in a controlled test environment. This reveals that it is durable enough to handle a basic fall, though the thickness is still surprising, and the weight is still unknown.
