Xiaomi is reportedly testing a compact foldable smartphone that could replace its current Mix Fold lineup with the name Xiaomi 18 Fold. The device adopts a wider, more balanced form factor that aligns with recent industry trends toward larger inner screens and improved usability for one-handed use.
Rumored prototype features a wider design and triple camera system co-branded with Leica
The prototype features a triple-camera system co-branded with Leica, matching the approach seen on recent Xiaomi flagships. The main sensor reportedly reaches 200 megapixels, positioning the phone as a strong contender in mobile photography despite its foldable chassis constraints.
Leaker Kartikey Singh suggests the device may not carry the Mix Fold name at launch, instead shifting to the Xiaomi 18 Fold designation to signal a broader product strategy. No official pricing or global availability details have been confirmed by Xiaomi or reliable supply chain sources.
The compact design and camera configuration indicate Xiaomi is targeting users who prioritize portability without sacrificing imaging performance. Foldable device makers are reportedly prioritizing the balance between large display areas and lighter chassis weights to enhance everyday portability.
