Since the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra introduced built-in hardware-level privacy screen technology for the first time this year, this practical feature no longer seems to be exclusive to Samsung. Screenshots of the system operating interface of Xiaomi’s latest “Smart privacy display” have recently leaked on the Internet. It is reported that this new technology will be the first to be applied to the next-generation flagship mobile phone Xiaomi 18 Pro series.
That’s how “Smart privacy display” options will look on supported #Xiaomi device (likely upcoming flagship).

As can be seen from these screenshots claimed to be from the international version of the ROM, Xiaomi’s smart anti-peep function provides a high degree of customization options. Users can create different application groups according to their personal needs and independently set exclusive anti-peep display conditions for each group. What’s more worth noting is that the system has the ability to automatically identify sensitive content. When the mobile phone screen switches to a page such as password input, mobile payment, bank transfer or instant messaging, the screen will automatically activate the anti-peep mode, effectively preventing people around you from peeking into the screen, and greatly improving the privacy and security of daily use.

In fact, as early as June this year, news has spread in the market that Xiaomi is developing its own anti-peep technology. Now the exposure of the operating interface further confirms the relevant rumors. It is expected that Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max, which will be officially released in September, will be equipped with this new feature for the first time. In terms of hardware specifications, the two new flagships are expected to be equipped with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro processors, while retaining the iconic secondary screen design on the back. It is rumored that the size of the secondary screen may be further enlarged to provide users with a richer operating experience.
