Xiaomi launched the 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max with their unique rear screens last September, and today a new rumor claims to bring us some fresh information about their successors.
According to a tipster on Weibo, both the Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max will have rear displays. Not only this, but an “AI-powered smart window” (machine translated from Chinese) will be available for it. We can’t tell you what it will do, but it does mean that Xiaomi is still investing in equipping the rear screen with more functionality, which is a good sign that this isn’t a one-time gimmick as some might fear.

Additionally, the speakers and vibration motor of the Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max have been improved compared to their predecessors, but the source of this rumor unfortunately did not provide exact details.
Of course, the two upcoming phones should be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro SoC. The Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max are expected to go official in September, so there’s still plenty of time for more rumors and leaks about them.
According to previous rumors, the Xiaomi 18 Pro will have a 6.3-inch screen, a 7,000 mAh or larger battery, support for wireless charging, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner, and two 200MP rear cameras – the primary one and a telephoto. The Xiaomi 18 Pro Max will reportedly feature a 6.9-inch flat LIPO OLED screen with narrower bezels than its predecessor, and we assume it will share a lot of specs with its smaller brother.
