First look: Xiaomi 18 Fold makes its official debut at IFA 2026 with XRing O3 chip
Xiaomi just gave us our first real-world look at its wide foldable, but it has plenty more to showcase at IFA 2026.
The Xiaomi 18 Fold made its official debut at IFA 2026. It is the first flagship smartphone from Xiaomi to be powered by its own XRing O3 chip. The wide-screen foldable had been leaked in real-world images earlier, showing a triple-camera setup and a cherry red finish. The company showcased more than 380 products at its IFA booth, including its "Human x Car x Home" ecosystem and the European expansion of its Mijia smart home brand.
This marked the first time Xiaomi had revealed a real Xiaomi 18 Fold, highlighting the cherry red color. The text on the camera bar provided a focal range of 17mm to 80mm, suggesting the telephoto camera may have a ~3.3x zoom.
