Xiaomi's New Fold Is Aimed Directly at Samsung's Best Phone
Xiaomi picked its moment carefully. The Xiaomi 18 Fold launched on 7 September, days before Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold8 refresh cycle and squarely inside Apple's own foldable launch window. Xiaomi wants this phone talked about as the wide format alternative to Samsung's book style design, and it is the company's clearest attempt yet to take that fight global rather than keep it in China.
Key Takeaways
- Xiaomi 18 Fold launched 7 September with a wider cover screen than the Fold8
- Leica camera tuning and Snapdragon flagship silicon carry over from Xiaomi's main line
- Global distribution push is new for Xiaomi's foldables
- Pricing outside China is still unconfirmed
