The Xiaomi 18 Fold is set to rival the iPhone Ultra soon. Let's take a look at the key details so far regarding its launch date, potential features, and price.

(Xiaomi 18 Fold will be launched soon)

A new device is about to launch in the smartphone market very soon. Apple is preparing to launch its device on September 9th, but before that, Xiaomi is launching its foldable smartphone on September 7th. It's believed that this new phone will be capable of directly competing with the iPhone Ultra. However, this phone will be launched in China on September 7th. Let's find out what features it will offer.

How will the design be

According to media reports, the Xiaomi 18 Fold's design sets it apart from other large foldable phones. According to the company, when folded, it's approximately the size of a passport. This makes it easy to carry in a pocket or bag, and it can be used with one hand for everyday tasks.

Additionally, the phone is expected to feature a 5.38-inch cover display on the outside, while a larger 7.58-inch inner screen is expected. This large display can be used for multitasking, watching videos, gaming, and other tasks.

You will get a strong battery

According to leaks, the Xiaomi 18 Fold could feature a 6,000mAh battery that will support 67W wired and 50W wireless charging. If these figures are accurate, this could be a strong battery package for a foldable phone with a large screen.

Camera Setup

Regarding the camera setup on the Xiaomi 18 Fold, the device features a triple camera setup with an LED flash. It is believed that this phone will feature a 200-megapixel primary camera. Furthermore, Xiaomi has partnered with Leica for the camera setup.

Furthermore, the Xiaomi 18 Fold is believed to be powered by the company's new Xring O3 flagship processor. This is considered a significant change for Xiaomi, as its older Mix Fold models used Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets.

How much will it cost?

While the company hasn't officially announced its pricing, tipster Digital Chat Station suggests the phone could be priced in excess of 10,000 Chinese Yuan (approximately ₹1.40 lakh in Indian Rupees).

iPhone Ultra will get competition

John Ternus has taken over as Apple's new CEO since September 1, 2026. In this context, leaks have been surfacing for quite some time regarding Apple's first foldable phone, the iPhone Ultra. It's being said that the company may launch it alongside its new phone. However, some reports believe that the company may introduce this phone next year. However, leaks have revealed several details about this phone, such as the expected price in the US of $2,000 to $2,500. It is also expected to feature a robust battery and a powerful processor. Therefore, this new phone from Xiaomi could pose a challenge to the iPhone Ultra.
