Vivo Product Manager Han Boxiao has been consistently revealing key features of the Vivo X Fold 5 ahead of its expected China launch this month. Yesterday, he shared an image showcasing the internal screen of the X Fold 5. In today’s Weibo post, he highlighted the cover display by placing it alongside the iPhone 16 Pro Max. The new post also reveals a standout feature — the phone’s ability to connect with iPhones for a seamless cross-platform experience.
Seamless two-phone sync between iPhone and X Fold 5
One of the most noteworthy revelations is the Vivo X Fold 5’s ability to integrate smoothly with an iPhone, simplifying life for users who carry both devices. The foldable allows iPhone users to view incoming SMS and verification codes directly on the X Fold 5.
He added that if a call comes to the iPhone, users can answer it using the X Fold 5 without switching devices. Notification sharing between the two is also supported, making it easy to stay updated regardless of which phone is in hand. Impressively, all this works even with a single SIM card, eliminating the need for multiple connections.
Boxiao also confirmed that the Vivo X Fold 5 is the first Android device confirmed to support connectivity with the Apple Watch. The smartwatch can display incoming calls and SMS from the X Fold 5, while health data recorded on the watch syncs directly with the vivo Health app. This allows the Apple Watch to remain functional even when paired with the X Fold 5 instead of an iPhone.
The X Fold 5 will come equipped with top-tier LTPO 8T panels on both inner and outer screens, delivering fluid adaptive refresh rates and high pixel density. Its 4,500-nit local peak brightness ensures visibility even in strong sunlight, while full-brightness high-frequency PWM dimming and TÜV Rhineland’s Global Eye Protection 3.0 certification focus on eye comfort. Vivo has partnered with Zeiss for colour tuning, ensuring lifelike tones through Zeiss Master Color calibration.
A new button has also replaced the previous alert slider on the left side, possibly offering programmable functions. While technical specs are still under wraps, Vivo has confirmed the foldable is built for extreme conditions, performing reliably at -20°C with IP5X dust and IPX9 water resistance.
