Overview
- Xiaomi has officially said the Xiaomi 18 Pro series will debut in China in September and published a short teaser video showing the phone’s rear.
- The teaser clearly shows a new-generation horizontal rear display integrated around the camera module, which Xiaomi says is upgraded and more versatile than before.
- Visual analysis of the clip indicates a triple‑camera layout with two sensors inside a rectangular camera plateau and a third sensor plus an LED flash below the bar.
- Industry reporting and leaks suggest Xiaomi may offer Pro and Pro Max sizes that share the same design and that the phones could use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, but the chipset choice remains unconfirmed.
- The teaser continues Xiaomi’s use of secondary rear screens first seen on prior models and could change how users preview shots, see notifications, or control media without flipping the phone over.
