EVENT DOSSIER
On September 8, 2026, just before Apple was expected to release its foldable iPhone, Xiaomi officially launched its first short-width foldable phone, the Xiaomi 18 Fold. This model was demonstrated to the media during IFA last week and is positioned as a “medium-sized” device with powerful specifications. Its appearance and feel are similar to those of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, but with superior specifications, its overall experience is better than that of the latter. As the first book-style foldable phone since the Mix Fold 4 in 2024, Xiaomi continues and surpasses industry trends: the body is shorter and wider than Samsung’s similar products, with an internal screen size of 7.58 inches and an external screen size of 5.38 inches, and the screen ratio is approximately 1.4:1.
