Xiaomi 18 Fold

Xiaomi Tries a Shorter, Wider Fold

The Xiaomi 18 Fold moves away from the tall, narrow shape used by many book-style foldables. Hands-on images show a shorter and wider body that opens into a broader inner display, putting it closer to the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Huawei Pura X View in proportion.

Dark Cherry Makes the Shape Stand Out

The leaked device appears in a deep red finish described as Dark Cherry. Its wide cover screen should feel more like a conventional phone when closed, while the interior gains a squarer canvas for apps and multitasking. That geometry is the real story here, since it changes how both halves of a foldable are used.

XRING 03 Keeps the Silicon In House

Xiaomi has confirmed that the phone will use XRING 03, the successor to its self-designed XRING 01 smartphone chip. The new processor is expected to be a substantial generational improvement, even if early comparisons place it behind Apple's A19 Pro. Xiaomi plans to debut the 18 Fold in September, pairing its second major in-house mobile chip with one of its boldest foldable designs.
