Xiaomi’s first official look at the 18 Fold points to a book-style foldable designed around a wider inner canvas rather than the tall, narrow proportions common in the category. The device is scheduled to launch in China on September 7, while availability in the United States has not been announced.
The 18 Fold pairs a 5.38-inch outer display with a 7.58-inch folding screen inside. That layout could make the opened device feel closer to a compact tablet for reading, video, and side-by-side apps, while retaining a smaller screen for quick tasks when closed. Xiaomi’s official imagery shows heavily rounded corners, slim-looking display borders, and a Nishino Red finish.

At the rear, the phone uses a horizontal, pill-shaped camera module with three cameras and an LED flash. Xiaomi has not yet detailed the sensors or their capabilities. A company video also offers a look at the handset’s internal construction and hinge mechanism, though durability specifications have yet to be confirmed.
Xiaomi has confirmed that the 18 Fold will run on its in-house Xring O3 processor. The flagship chip is built on a 3nm process and supports LPDDR6 memory. A recent Geekbench entry associated with the phone points to as much as 16GB of RAM and Android 17, but those details remain benchmark-based rather than official product specifications.
The teaser establishes the 18 Fold’s tablet-like direction, but key details—including its cameras, storage configurations, pricing, and any plans beyond China—will need to wait for the launch event. For mobile users who want a foldable that prioritizes a broader working and entertainment screen, the screen proportions may be the most consequential part of Xiaomi’s announcement.
