Xiaomi continues to work intensively to develop its new flagship phone series, Xiaomi 18, to ignite competition in the markets. The leaks indicate that this anticipated series will include multiple versions, including the standard version, the Pro and Pro Max versions, in addition to the more powerful Ultra version, so that the company maintains the naming strategy inspired by Apple. As rumors continue to flow about these powerful phones, a new leak has appeared that highlights the exceptional specifications of the larger version’s screen.
The famous leaks account on the Chinese Weibo platform shared exciting details about a new phone that comes with a 6.9-inch LIPO flat screen. This screen features very thin edges on all four sides with support for the BT.2020 wide color gamut to provide a rich visual experience. Expectations indicate that this device is the upcoming Xiaomi 18 Pro Max phone, which will rely on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 processor made with a 2-nm architecture to provide tremendous performance and a screen that is far superior to the previous generation.
This new information partly contradicts previous leaks that suggested the phone would come with a familiar LTPO OLED screen. But the latest leak confirms the reliance on advanced LIPO technology as a strategic alternative to enhance energy efficiency. Despite this technical difference in the type of panel used, experts expect the new screen to maintain the same 2K ultra-high display resolution and a fast refresh rate of 120 Hz to ensure the utmost levels of smoothness and clarity.
The anticipated screen will come with thinner edges than ever before, thanks to the reliance on a new basic material in manufacturing. This technology also allows the brightness level to be reduced to only 1 candle to protect the eyes in dark places. The source of the leak hinted that the phone will include a new and unknown hardware feature, as observers believe that it may be a privacy protection screen similar to that found in the Galaxy S26 Ultra phone from Samsung, or perhaps another technical surprise whose features are not yet clear.
All data indicates that the Pro and Pro Max versions will offer a complete package of leading specifications and various options for users. Rumors confirm that these phones are equipped with dual ultra-resolution cameras of 200 megapixels, and huge batteries with a capacity exceeding 7,000 mAh to ensure standard operating times. The company is likely to offer different versions of these devices, so that there are models equipped with a secondary rear screen to facilitate displaying notifications, and others that are satisfied with the usual classic design.
