OnePlus pioneered the Open Canvas feature with the OnePlus Open foldable, allowing users to open three apps simultaneously on their foldable’s inner display. This approach stood out as one of the best ways to multitask on Android foldables and tablets, as it opened up two apps side by side, with the third app tucked away but ready to be in focus at any moment. Now, vivo’s upcoming X Fold 5 foldable threatens to usurp OnePlus’ multitasking crown with its “Atomic Workbench” feature.

vivo’s product manager Han Boxiao has shared a demo of the X Fold 5’s multitasking system, called “原子工作台,” which translates into “Atomic Workbench.”
