Xiaomi announces that it will hold an event in China on September 7, when it plans to unveil the Xiaomi 18 Fold foldable phone. Multiple outlets report the company also uses the same occasion to reveal the Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max tablet and additional products. TechNode and NDTV both place the event on the same date and tie it to Xiaomi’s autumn flagship lineup.
Xiaomi also highlights a new Xring O3 chip for the 18 Fold, which it has previously shown separately. GSMArena says Xiaomi provides the first official look at the phone ahead of the launch, including design details and a “Nishino Red” colorway, along with a triple rear camera arrangement. GSMArena further notes the September 7 timing in relation to Apple’s expected wide-screen foldable announcement, while other reports focus more on Xiaomi’s broader event lineup and expected vehicle launches.
