Xiaomi confirms Xiaomi 18 Pro series launch with a new rear screen

Xiaomi today officially confirmed that the Xiaomi 18 Pro series will launch this month in China. In a teaser shared on Weibo, the company showed the rear display of the phone with the word “Generating” in the center. 

This could suggest that the rear screen will support AI-generated content directly on the phone, rather than being limited to wallpapers, widgets, or simple shortcuts. The company further says that more details are coming tomorrow. 

Xiaomi has some numbers to back up its decision to keep developing the rear screen feature. According to the company, users interacted with app cards on last year’s rear screen more than 4 million times per day, while more than 3.5 million wallpapers were added to the display every day.

The rear screen on the Xiaomi 17 Pro also gained more features after launch, including live wallpapers and interactive tools. The Xiaomi 18 Pro appears to be building on that idea rather than treating the rear display as a simple design feature.

Xiaomi 18 Pro keeps a familiar design

Nonetheless, the official teaser confirms the phone has a horizontal camera module with a Leica triple-camera setup. The rear display will cover most of the camera module, giving the Xiaomi 18 Pro a look that’s similar to its predecessor.

According to DCS, Xiaomi has made a few smaller changes to the design. The bezels around the rear display could be slightly thinner, while the front punch-hole camera may move to a different position. The phone is also said to feature a new physical button on the frame.

Earlier leaks also claimed that the rear screen could get larger and add a privacy mode, similar to the privacy display technology Samsung shipped with the Galaxy S26 Ultra.

With Xiaomi already confirming a launch this month and the rear screen now being teased, more details about the Xiaomi 18 Pro series should arrive soon.
