Now that we’ve wrapped up the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max unboxing<\/a>, it’s time to do the Xiaomi 18 Pro<\/a>. Video unboxing on TikTok here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Like the Max, the Xiaomi 18 Pro comes with a USB-A to USB-C cable and a transparent case.<\/p>\n

The case is simple and solid. It adds a feel of reassurance, and it also has the benefit of showing the phone’s Velvet Red paint job through.<\/p>\n

Xiaomi also sent us the Silicone Magnetic case, which feels more robust and higher quality. As the name suggests, it brings MagSafe to the phone as well.<\/p>\n

It, however, turns the phone mostly black. Well, there is a subtle velvet red accent around the cameras on the back, which is nice.<\/p>\n

Based around a 6.4-inch display, the Xiaomi 18 Pro is a compact flagship. In fact, to us, it’s one of the best in its category, which is why we’ve nominated it for our yearly awards<\/a>!<\/p>\n

It’s not a featherweight, however, at just over 200 grams, or just about the same as the iPhone 18 Pro. But while the iPhone has a 6.3-inch screen to the Xiaomi’s 6.4 incher, the Cupertino phone also has about 3,000 mAh less battery capacity. Whether the Xiaomi 18 Pro’s 7,000mAh power pack produces twice the endurance as the iPhone remains to be seen. We’ll check it out in the review.<\/p>\n

Finally, just like the Pro Max, the Xiaomi 18 Pro has a rear display and privacy display feature. The rear screen is a bit tighter than the Pro Max’s, but it’s just as feature-packed. But we’d mostly use it to take main-camera selfies with this phone.<\/p>\n

The privacy display feature matches Samsung’s. It’s enabled at the pixel level and can be fully customized – you can block the entire screen from prying eyes or just certain apps.<\/p>\n

More on that in our review!<\/p>\n
