Xiaomi Launches New 18 Pro Phones with Enhanced Privacy Display Features
Xiaomi has launched its new Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max smartphones in China, featuring an improved version of the privacy display technology first introduced by Samsung on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The phones include hardware-level privacy features that activate based on specific apps or locations such as airports or elevators. They also offer dual rear displays for notifications and selfies, along with advanced camera systems including 200-megapixel sensors. Both models are powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chips, differing only in display size (6.4-inch vs. 6.9-inch) and battery capacity (7,000mAh vs. 8,500mAh). The phones will be available internationally later this year after skipping global markets last year with the 17 Pro series. Xiaomi’s new privacy display technology is considered more flexible than Samsung's implementation due to its ability to apply selectively across app windows and notifications without affecting other parts of the screen. This innovation positions Xiaomi as a strong competitor in the high-end smartphone market.
