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.

Microsoft Teams is getting a meaningful update that overhauls almost every part of how you use the app, from AI-assisted meetings to a cleaner chat layout. Most of the changes are already in testing, and several are scheduled to roll out before the end of the summer.

Starting with the most interesting addition: an upgraded AI Facilitator that can listen to your meeting, spot when someone seems confused, and generate a response (via Windows Report).

Price hikes may be coming for the Pixel 11, but it’s not necessarily a bad deal
Google Pixel 10 Pro

Google recently started sending out invites for its next Made by Google event, scheduled for August 12. The Pixel 11 series is expected to headline the show, and if the latest pricing leak is accurate, buyers may need to prepare for a higher starting price this year.

According to Dealabs, the Pixel 11 lineup will no longer start at 128GB. Google is reportedly making 256GB the new base storage across the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Prices also appear to be going up by 100 euros across the board.

iPhone shortcuts disappearing in silence? iOS 27 just added a way to get them back
There's finally a button that fixes it.
iOS 27 shortcuts restore button.

If you rely heavily on Apple's Shortcuts app and use it regularly, there's a decent chance some of your automations have quietly vanished without you ever noticing. They probably exist somewhere in iCloud, but aren’t showing up in your library. iOS 27 is finally doing something about it.

iOS 27’s Beta 3 includes a new Restore button buried in Settings > Apps > Shortcuts. When the system detects automations on your device, ones that aren't showing up in your library, it displays a counter: "X shortcuts on this device aren't currently in your library."
