Instagram announced a new video editing app, called Edits, on the same day that rival video service TikTok briefly went dark in response to a federal ban. X also touted the launch of a dedicated video tab in its mobile app.
The new Meta Platforms Inc. app, which won’t be available until February, will offer “a full suite of creative tools,” according to a post on Sunday from Adam Mosseri, the head of the social media platform. People can use Edits to store video drafts, edit clips and add features like green screens, overlays and transitions, according to a Meta spokesperson.
One of the chief complaints among early foldables has been how thick the hardware is, and it’s been a major focus for manufacturers. With new images of the upcoming Oppo Find N5 and OnePlus Open 2, new records are being teased, and it reveals a device that’s truly jaw-droppingly thin.
It’s been rumored for some time now that the OnePlus Open 2, based on the Oppo Find N5, will be incredibly thin. Recently, Pete Lau said it would be the “world’s thinnest” book-style foldable, and now we’re getting a first look at the hardware.
New images shared on Weibo show off the Oppo Find N5, the device that will serve as the base for the OnePlus Open 2. The images show off a foldable that’s half the thickness of an iPhone, and just the thickness of four stacked credit cards or two stacked quarters. That’s when unfolded, at least. Still, that puts the device at likely 3.5-4mm, which undercuts the Honor Magic V3’s 4.35mm profile when opened up.
Essentially, the device is just barely thicker than the USB-C port. In the post (translated), Oppo’s Zhou Yibao says that the charging port is currently the limit for how thin the device can be.
Thin is not the limit of Find N5, but the limit of the charging port
The comparisons are truly wild to see.
Despite that thin profile, it’s said that the device will have a battery around 20% larger than the Oppo Find N3, as we’ve heard in previous leaks.
The post also reiterates that the device will be launching in February, as rumored, and it seems likely that the OnePlus Open 2 will follow not too far behind. It seems likely that Mobile World Congress, set to take place during the first week of March, could serve as a launch for the device.
