Xiaomi Shows Off Wide Foldable Phone, Says Specs Outdo Samsung's
The Xiaomi 18 Fold was demonstrated behind closed doors at IFA, with The Verge reporting the device offers stronger specifications than Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8, ahead of an expected Apple foldable announcement.
Xiaomi has become the latest smartphone manufacturer to introduce a short, wide-format foldable phone, according to a hands-on report published by The Verge. The outlet said it was given access to try the device, called the 18 Fold, in a closed-door session at the IFA technology trade show last week.
According to The Verge, the Xiaomi 18 Fold looks and feels similar to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8, a competing wide-format foldable device. However, the outlet reported that the Xiaomi model includes specifications it characterized as superior to Samsung's offering, without disclosing full technical details in the available excerpt.
The report noted that Xiaomi's unveiling comes in the same week that Apple is expected to release its own foldable phone, positioning the 18 Fold within a broader wave of foldable device launches from major manufacturers.
The Verge did not specify a release date, pricing, or market availability for the Xiaomi 18 Fold in the excerpt reviewed. Further details about the device's full specifications and comparison points with rival foldables were not included in the available source material.
