Summary
10,999 yuan buys Xiaomi’s first wide foldable in China, pairing a 5.38-inch cover screen with a 7.58-inch 120Hz inner AMOLED display in a 219-gram body.
A 200MP Leica triple-camera system sets the phone apart from many foldables, combining a 200MP main sensor, 50MP 3.5x periscope telephoto and 50MP ultrawide.
Both displays use Xiaomi’s HyperRGB panels with 4,000-nit peak brightness and 1-120Hz variable refresh rates; the phone measures 10.68mm folded and 5.02mm unfolded.
The launch follows last week’s teaser and adds detail to Xiaomi’s earlier IFA reveal, though the company still has not said when the 18 Fold will launch globally.
The timing is notable because Apple is widely expected to unveil its first foldable on September 9, putting Xiaomi’s camera-heavy design directly into the spotlight.
