Xiaomi Unveils 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max Smartphones with Privacy Mode
Xiaomi unveiled the Xiaomi 18 Pro in China on September 23. The company also released the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max alongside it. The models’ main new feature is an on-screen privacy function that hides content from people viewing the display from the side. The solution is similar to the system in the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, but works more flexibly with individual apps. Last year’s Xiaomi 17 Pro series was not sold outside China. At least 1 model from the new series will reach the international market by the end of this year. Prices start at 5,999 yuan. That is approximately $900 (AZN 1,530).
Privacy mode does not darken the entire display; it hides only the information in the app selected by the user. The function also applies to notifications from that app, its floating window and its split-screen view. It can be configured to turn on automatically at work and turn off at home. The system can also recognize places such as airports and elevators. When the selfie camera detects another person looking at the screen, it recommends enabling privacy mode. The small screen next to the rear cameras is still present. It can display notifications, take selfies and run simple games. The Xiaomi 18 Pro has a 6.4-inch main display. On the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max, it measures 6.9 inches. The smaller model has a 7,000 mAh battery, while the larger model has an 8,500 mAh battery. Silicon accounts for 32% of the batteries’ composition. The Xiaomi 18 Pro uses the Snapdragon 8 Gen 6 Elite processor. The Extreme version of this chip was chosen for the Pro Max. According to reports, there is very little difference between the processors.
The main cameras on both smartphones capture 200-megapixel images using a large 1/1.28-inch sensor. The Pro model has a Light Fusion 960 sensor. The Pro Max is equipped with a Light Fusion 960L sensor with similar specifications. The other 200-megapixel telephoto camera is designed to capture distant subjects at a closer range. It has a focal length of 75 mm and uses a Samsung HP5 sensor. This camera can focus from a distance of 12 cm. A 50-megapixel ultrawide module completes the camera system. The new flagship family also includes the foldable Xiaomi 18 Fold. However, it has not yet been announced whether this model will be sold outside China. The standard Xiaomi 18 and the more powerful Xiaomi 18 Ultra are expected to be unveiled next spring. The announcement followed the Vivo X500 and Oppo Find X10 flagships unveiled during the same week. It is not yet known which version of the Xiaomi 18 Pro series will be released internationally.
