Xiaomi 18 Pro could get a privacy display feature, says tipster
Keeping Your Screen Private: Is the Xiaomi 18 Pro Joining the Trend?
If you’re someone who values their digital privacy in public spaces, you know the struggle of trying to check a sensitive email or bank balance while sitting on a crowded train. Well, it looks like a major display shift is on the horizon. Following recent whispers that Samsung is testing a ‘Privacy Display’ for the Galaxy S27 Pro, reliable tipster Digital Chat Station suggests that Xiaomi is preparing to follow suit with its upcoming 18 Pro series.
According to the latest leaks, Xiaomi is currently testing a new 2K display that integrates advanced hardware-level privacy technology. The goal here is simple: stop prying eyes from catching a glimpse of your screen when they’re sitting to your side. By combining specialized hardware with smart software, the display restricts viewing angles, ensuring that your on-screen content stays strictly for your eyes only.
While the tipster didn’t call out the Xiaomi 18 Pro by name directly in their initial post, the follow-up discussion on Weibo makes it clear that the flagship lineup—slated for a September launch—is the primary focus of this development.
What Else Can We Expect?
The 18 Pro and its bigger sibling, the 18 Pro Max, are shaping up to be true powerhouses. Word on the street is that they will stick with the secondary rear display design that fans grew to love on the 17 Pro series, though this time it’s getting a growth spurt to 4 inches.
Under the hood, these devices are expected to pack some serious heat:
- Performance: Both models will likely debut the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset.
- Display Sizes: The standard 18 Pro is rumored to sport a compact 6.3-inch screen, while the Pro Max will offer a much more immersive 6.9-inch display.
- Battery Life: The 18 Pro is tipped to house a massive 7,000mAh battery.
- Camera Power: Both phones are rumored to feature a sophisticated dual 200MP camera setup.
September is looking like a busy month for smartphone enthusiasts. Between the privacy-focused display upgrades and the jump in camera hardware, Xiaomi is clearly looking to keep its flagship contenders at the top of the food chain. We’ll keep a close watch for more details as they emerge.
