Never Mind Pixel HiLight: These Upcoming Pro Flagships Will Officially Have a Rear Screen

Xiaomi says the new display will continue rear-screen features such as camera preview, notifications and controls, building on the 17 Pro lineup.

  • Xiaomi confirmed the Xiaomi 18 Pro series is coming with a brand-new rear screen, showcased in a teaser video featuring a large display panel.
  • The Xiaomi 17 Pro debuted roughly a year ago with similar rear display functionality, offering media controls, camera viewfinder, alarms, timers, call controls, and flight information.
  • Screenshots reveal a third camera and flash positioned below the rear panel, while the display maintains roughly the same size as the Xiaomi 17 Pro's panel and an extra hardware button appears on the device's side.
  • Previous Pro models were not launched outside China, though observers hope the Xiaomi 18 Pro achieves global release with support from developers including Google, Meta, and Uber.
  • The rear screen positions itself as more useful than Google's HiLight LED on the Pixel 11 series, with industry observers anticipating even more expanded features on the new model.
