The Xiaomi 18 series, which is expected to be released simultaneously with Qualcomm’s new generation flagship chip S8E Gen6 Pro and appear as soon as September, has recently been circulated on the Internet about the configuration information of the Pro version of the phone.
The tipster “Digital Chat Station” revealed on its Weibo account that the Xiaomi 18 Pro, a series replacement model, is testing a 2K ultra-clear display screen and will add the previously popular privacy screen display technology.
In addition to hardware privacy protection, Xiaomi will also provide software protection. If the news is true, the Xiaomi 18 Pro may be another smartphone supporting this technology after the Galaxy S26 Ultra and the S27 Pro being developed by the same manufacturer.
In response to a netizen’s question about the impact of the anti-privacy screen on image quality, the whistleblower stated that it is unknown at this stage whether corresponding improvements have been made to the Xiaomi 18 Pro’s anti-privacy screen panel, and the actual performance has yet to be tested on a real machine.
Mobile Magazine’s short comment: When Samsung’s anti-peep screen is activated, the screen pixels will only be displayed at a narrow viewing angle to reduce viewing of content from squinting angles on both sides; if Xiaomi’s technology adopts a similar principle, it may also affect the screen experience.
