Essential information
- During WWDC, Vivo’s product lead, Han Boxiao, announced that the forthcoming Android foldable, the X Fold 5, will have complete compatibility with the Apple Watch.
- Boxiao indicated that this Android & Apple interaction would allow the watch to show calls and texts, as well as sync full health data through the Vivo Health app.
- Vivo also hinted at “extended mode” features that will connect the upcoming Android foldable with Mac computers.
Vivo’s announcement of smart watch compatibility outside the Android ecosystem might not have been on your radar (or ours).
As Apple kicked off WWDC, Vivo’s product manager, Han Boxiao, revealed that the company’s next Android foldable will work seamlessly with the Apple Watch (as reported by Android Authority). In the translation of Boxiao’s remarks, Vivo refers to its impending foldable, the X Fold 5, as an “Apple Partner.”
This “collaboration” apparently starts with the device providing full support for the Apple Watch, allowing the device to show notifications for calls, texts, and health information.
