Xiaomi 18 Fold and Pad 9 Pro Leaked Specifications and Features

Xiaomi 18 Fold has appeared in several leaks recently. The leaked images, which emerged in a special dark red colour, showed a new wide-format book-style foldable design. The images also revealed three rear-facing cameras arranged in a visor-like, capsule-shaped layout. The Xiaomi 18 Fold will be powered by the company's Xring O3 processor. The processor will have a deca-core architecture with a maximum clock speed of 4.35GHz using its C1-Premium core. The AI processor also managed a single-precision score of 629 points and a half-precision score of 799 points on Geekbench AI, according to a recent report.

The foldable will reportedly have an upgraded hinge design, enabling an IP68 durability rating. A recent report also revealed that the tablet may have a 6,000mAh battery and support 67W wired and 50W wireless charging. Previously leaked specifications mention a 6.56-inch cover display and a 7.76-inch main display, both featuring LTPO technology with an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate. The main camera will reportedly pack a 200-megapixel sensor, with the other two having telephoto capability.

The Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max has barely appeared in leaks, so little information about its specifications and features. The tablet reportedly surfaced on Geekbench with the model number M367FC. It managed scores of 3,474 and 13,299 in the benchmark's single- and multi-core tests, respectively.

Xiaomi also confirmed that it would announce the Xiaomi N70 Pro, N70 Max and N90 Max EVs at the same event. CEO Lei Jun announced the vehicles' features in a separate Weibo post. In his post, he confirmed that all models would feature front double wishbone suspension and rear multi-link suspension. The SUVs would also get features like high-speed tyre blowout stability control, emergency water-floating assist, and low-speed driving lights.
