Foldable phones (especially the wide-screen ones) seem to be picking up steam, with special thanks to Apple’s imminent market entry with the iPhone Ultra and Samsung’s early success with the wide Galaxy Z Fold 8. Before these, HUAWEI has also been making a splash with its wide foldables, and now Xiaomi is all geared up to launch its own wide foldable next week in the form of the Xiaomi 18 Fold.

Xiaomi’s President of the mobile division, Mr. Lu Weibing, has shared official renders of the Xiaomi 18 Fold on Weibo and confirmed that the phone launches in China on September 7, 2026.
