The Android phone that works with Apple.

Vivo claims its X Fold 5 has achieved an Android first: interoperability with the Apple Watch. According to product manager Han Boxiao the watch can display calls and texts from the X Fold 5, and sync health data. The phone can also receive calls and texts sent to an iPhone, access iCloud, and extend the display of a Mac.

How? We have no idea, but hopefully we’ll find out when the phone launches this month.

<em>While the Android device can handle calls coming into the iPhone.</em>

<em>And you can set it up as an external Mac monitor.</em>

watchOS 26 adds a new ‘wrist flick’ gesture to quickly dismiss notifications.
