<\/a>The iPhone Ultra rival that could launch as the Xiaomi 18 Fold or Xiaomi Mix Fold 5 is slowly taking shape<\/p>\n

Xiaomi is expected to take on Apple\u2019s iPhone Ultra and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 this year with a compact and wide foldable in the same form factor, as images from a HyperOS leak now also support. They fit quite well with a display like that of a Huawei Pura X Max.<\/p>\n

The image above is a montage, as is immediately obvious. Still, it is not fake. An image from a HyperOS leak was simply placed on the display of the Huawei Pura X Max<\/a>, and as can be seen, it fits the Huawei foldable quite well. The images, nine in total, can be seen below. All of them were discovered in a new version of the Xiaomi Hyper Launcher, which will likely also run on Xiaomi\u2019s future foldable as part of HyperOS<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Accordingly, the display format is either very wide for the unfolded foldable or less tall when folded than the current Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 from 2024, whose successor is apparently set to launch this year. A few weeks ago, rumors had already suggested that another iPhone Fold competitor was in the works, meaning Xiaomi is also apparently opting for a more compact foldable phone format that looks set to become the norm this year. <\/p>\n

Not much is known about this Xiaomi foldable yet. Rumors point to a 200MP camera and a new Xiaomi chipset called Xring O3, while the name Xiaomi 18 Fold has also been circulating instead of Xiaomi Mix Fold 5. Unlike Samsung<\/a> and Apple, this model is expected to feature a triple Leica camera, although a global launch may not be planned. However, the Xiaomi 18 Pro<\/a> and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max could launch in Europe for the first time in 2026, at least according to speculation.<\/p>\n

My fascination for technology goes back a long way to the Pentium II era. Modding, overclocking and treasuring computer hardware has since become an integral part of my life.
