Xiaomi 18 Fold officially revealed with wide design like Galaxy Z Fold 8, launches next week
From the official release
The Xiaomi 18 Fold first appeared in a hands-on leak last month, but now the company is officially showing off the new hardware at IFA 2026 in Berlin. 9to5Mac’s Fernando Silva was able to see the device in person, and was quick to note the similarities to Apple’s upcoming foldable iPhone.
Of course, it’s also similar to the already-available Galaxy Z Fold 8.
Xiaomi didn’t confirm much about the foldable at IFA, only reiterating that it will run on the Xiaomi ORING 3 chipset. It was also confirmed that the Fold will see an official launch in China on September 7.
This is a short excerpt. Read the full announcement on the official source.
