Xiaomi 18 Fold Design Features

The Xiaomi 18 Fold, which is 10.7 mm thick when folded and 5.02 mm thick when unfolded, weighs 219 grams.

The phone, which has a 7000 Series Aluminum alloy case, is protected by Xiaomi Dragon Crystal Glass 3.0.

This glass is resistant to drops from 1.2 meters, according to Xiaomi. It’s also necessary to look at ordinary real-life experiences.

It uses a double-layered ultra-thin glass structure combined with organic flexible insulation materials on the hinge side and a new generation Dragone Bone hinge.

The phone has dual built-in stereo speakers and a fingerprint reader integrated into the side button along with facial recognition.

Water resistance is not available.

Xiaomi 18 Fold Screen Specifications

The Xiaomi 18 Fold has a 5.38-inch outer screen, and when the inner screen is opened, it offers us a 7.58-inch screen.

The inner and outer screens have an aspect ratio close to 2:1, matching standard paper ratios.

Screens with dynamic refresh rates between 1 and 120 Hz are AMOLED.

The 7.58-inch screen has a screen-to-body ratio of 90.6%.

Offering a resolution of 2364 x 1672 pixels, the screen has a pixel density of 382 PPI.

Supporting technologies such as HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HDR Vivid, the screen can also reach a maximum brightness of 4000 NIT.

The 5.38-inch screen outside the cover has a resolution of 1168 x 1712 pixels. This screen can also reach a maximum brightness of 4000 NIT.

Xiaomi 18 Fold Hardware Specifications

Xiaomi 18 Fold will be powered by its own XRING O3 processor. XRING O3, Xiaomi’s second self-developed processor, is being used for the first time in Xiaomi’s flagship device.

XRING O3 Specifications

The XRING O3, manufactured using 3nm technology, contains 24 billion transistors.

Looking at the internal structure of the chipset, which uses a 10-core processor, we see that it is powered by 2 Ultra, 4 Premium, and 4 Pro cores.

Looking at the graphics unit of the XRING O3 processor, we see that the G2-Ultra NX GPU is used. The 16-core GPU has increased its performance by 85 percent compared to the previous generation. These numbers are typical Xiaomi benchmark data. It’s necessary to look at real-world tests, gaming experiences, and application experiences for both the processor and the GPU.

The XRING O3 stands out as the first portable processor to support the LPDDR6 RAM standard.

Compared to the 16-bit interface in LPDDR5X, LPDDR6 with a 24-bit interface promises a higher data bus width.

Total memory bandwidth reaches 113.8 GB/s, offering a 50 percent increase compared to LPDDR5X-9600.

AI acceleration units are integrated into all of the processor’s core processing blocks. This prevents the NPU from being unnecessarily activated for lighter AI processes.

This increases process efficiency while reducing power consumption.

On the NPU side, a completely new and low-power quad-core design using SIMT architecture has been preferred. Each NPU core has one Tensor unit and two Vector units. This structure offers 200 TOPS Tensor performance and 3.13 TFLOPS Vector performance in A8W4 format.

The phone, which offers storage speed in UFS 4.1 standard, has the following RAM and storage options:

• 256GB 12GB RAM
• 512GB 12GB RAM
• 512GB 16GB RAM
• 1TB 16GB RAM

Xiaomi 18 Fold Camera Specifications

The Xiaomi 18 Fold, which has a triple camera system developed in collaboration with Leica, has a main camera with a resolution of 200 MP.

The 23 mm wide-angle main camera, which has an f/1.7 aperture, also has optical image stabilization.

50 The telephoto camera with f/2.8 aperture has 3x optical zoom and optical image stabilization.

The 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera has an f/2.4 aperture.

On the video side, it supports 4K 30 and 60 FPS, 8K 24 FPS, and 1080p at 30/60/120/960 fps.

On the front, both the outer and inner screens use a 16-megapixel wide-angle front camera with f/2.2 aperture and 21mm lens.

Xiaomi 18 Fold Battery Specifications

Equipped with a 6000 mAh silicon-carbon battery, the Xiaomi 18 Fold offers the highest battery capacity among devices in the same form factor.

Both battery cells utilize stacking technology with a 20% high silicon content, and the power density reaches up to 920 Wh/L.

Xiaomi 18 Fold offers 67W wired and 50W wireless HyperCharge fast charging support.

Xiaomi 18 Fold Ceramic Edition

Xiaomi 18 Fold also comes in a special Ceramic Edition version.

This model uses lightweight silicon nitride ceramic material on its back panel. These marks the first time silicon nitride has been used on the back panel of a smartphone.

Silicon nitride is an advanced ceramic material widely used in automotive and aircraft engines due to its high temperature resistance. This material combines the warm and smooth ceramic feel with extremely high hardness, while being approximately 50 percent lighter than classic zirconia ceramic.

Xiaomi 18 Fold prices

The Xiaomi 18 Fold is available in four different color/version options: Black, White, Red, and Ceramic. It will be released in China on September 10th.
