Last month, Xiaomi held a major launch event in China to unveil the Xiaomi 17 series of flagship smartphones. Among them, the Xiaomi 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max stood out for their distinctive secondary rear displays, which drew strong consumer interest. Now, according to tipster Digital Chat Station, the company has already begun work on the Xiaomi 18 series, expected to arrive next year.
Xiaomi 18 series’ secondary to become more versatile
According to Digital Chat Station, the upcoming Xiaomi 18 series will continue the rear display design that debuted on the Xiaomi 17 Pro models. However, the tipster claims that Xiaomi plans to introduce more creative enhancements to the secondary display, likely in the form of expanded software features and improved interactivity.
While details remain limited, the rear screen could gain more functional control options, such as notification handling, camera viewfinder assistance, or contextual widgets.
To recall, the rear display design first appeared on the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, which featured a 1.1-inch AMOLED panel. It disappeared with the Xiaomi 12 series but made a comeback with the 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max. Market data indicates that the premium 17 Pro models accounted for nearly 80% of total series sales, highlighting the growing appeal of this design among high-end users.
Likely, the lineup will feature the next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipset and may debut in September 2026. With nearly an year remaining for the expected launch, the rumor mill is expected to leak more details about the Xiaomi 18 lineup in the coming months.
