Xiaomi 18 Pro: Dual Screens Arrive Globally!

Xiaomi is set to launch its Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max smartphones outside of China on November 17. This global debut, taking place in Paris, marks the first time these devices, featuring a secondary rear screen, will be available internationally. The launch event will be streamed live, beginning at 2 PM CET.

The Xiaomi 18 Pro series introduces Qualcomm's latest flagship chip and a unique 2.9-inch secondary rear AMOLED display. Both models boast a Leica-tuned dual 200MP camera system. The Pro Max model offers a larger 6.9-inch main display and an 8,500mAh battery, while the Pro has a 6.4-inch main display. The rear screen functions as a viewfinder for selfies and offers smartwatch-like features for notifications and quick access to apps.

This launch event will focus exclusively on the Pro models; the standard Xiaomi 18 and an Ultra-tier model are not expected. International versions may feature smaller batteries and higher prices compared to their Chinese counterparts. Xiaomi will also host a hands-on event in Tokyo from November 20 to 23.
