- Vivo has started teasing its next foldable, the X Fold 5.
- A product manager confirms that the Android phone will have Apple Watch compatibility.
- It’s also said to have direct support for iCloud and can be used as an extended screen with a Mac.
At one point, Apple reportedly considered making an Apple Watch that’s compatible with Android to help it reach the platform’s billions of users. However, those plans eventually fell through and Apple has continued to be a walled garden. That status quo could change in the near future, though, as one Android brand plans to bridge the gap.
Chinese phone maker vivo has started teasing the next foldable that will be added to its collection, the X Fold 5. In a social post on Weibo, vivo Product Manager, Han Boxiao, shared a few details about the device, including that it will feature 4,500 nits of brightness, high-frequency PWM dimming, and has TUV Rheinland global eye protection 3.0 certification. In addition to these specs, Boxiao also confirmed something genuinely surprising about the X Fold 5, which is that it will have Apple device compatibility.
