Xiaomi announces that its 18 Pro smartphone series will launch in China on September 23 at 7:00 pm local time (4:30 pm IST). The lineup is expected to include two models: the Xiaomi 18 Pro and the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max. The company also teases multiple colour options, including Black, Starry River Blue, and White.

Along with the launch timing, Xiaomi shares details about the display feature. Multiple outlets report that the phones will include a hardware-level privacy display, described as working in a similar way to Samsung’s privacy screen technology. The teaser also points to hardware-oriented display and platform upgrades for the series, including HyperOS 4, alongside other unspecified hardware improvements. While both sources agree on the core privacy-display concept and the basic launch information, they differ slightly in what additional features they emphasize beyond the privacy screen, such as mentions of upgraded display hardware and the broader upgrade package.
