Xiaomi's Gorgeous New 18 Series Phones With Triple Leica Cameras Will Go Global
Xiaomi says the new phones add a flexible privacy display, rear screens and 200MP Leica imaging, with a global release planned later this year.
- On Wednesday, September 23, 2026, Xiaomi launched the 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max in China, introducing flagship phones powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite chips and featuring Leica-backed dual 200MP camera systems.
- Xiaomi's new 'Smart Privacy Display' uses 1:1 alternating pixels to reduce side brightness to 1% at 60-degree angles, providing a flexible software-integrated alternative to Samsung's hardware-level privacy approach on the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
- The 18 Pro series features a 'Dual 200MP ultra-clear' camera system and batteries ranging from 7,000mAh to 8,500mAh, utilizing high 32 percent silicon content for power efficiency, per Xiaomi specifications.
- Global availability is confirmed for later this year, marking the first time a Pro-series model will debut outside China, with base domestic pricing set at 5,999 CNY for the 12GB+256GB variant.
- While Samsung pioneered hardware-level privacy screens on the Galaxy S26 Ultra, Xiaomi adds software triggers like location-aware activation and shoulder-surfer detection to mitigate the brightness loss and eye strain reported by some users.
