By Editor • September 8, 2026 • 1 min read
Xiaomi has entered the foldable phone market with a bold new offering, the 18 Fold, which showcases impressive specifications expected to outperform its closest competitor, Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8.
Debuted at the IFA last week, the 18 Fold features a short and wide design, marking Xiaomi's return to book-style foldables since the Mix Fold 4 in 2024. This latest model stands out with its dimensions, boasting a unique 1.4:1 aspect ratio across its 7.58-inch inner display and 5.38-inch outer display, making it shorter and wider than Samsung's version.
During a private viewing, the 18 Fold's build quality and design resonated with attendees, prompting admiration for its potential to redefine the foldable phone experience. As Apple prepares to launch its own foldable device shortly, Xiaomi’s entry could reshape the competitive landscape in this evolving segment.
