Xiaomi 18 Fold price: what you actually pay

Four configurations are available, and there is one real difference beyond storage:

• 12GB + 256GB — the entry configuration, LPDDR5X memory
• 12GB + 512GB — double the storage
• 16GB + 512GB — more memory for heavy multitasking on the inner screen
• 16GB + 1TB — the top tier, and the only one with LPDDR6 memory

All four run the same XRING O3, the same Leica camera system and the same 6000mAh battery. The 1TB tier is the one to note: it is the first phone anywhere to ship with LPDDR6, the next generation of mobile memory, which offers higher bandwidth and better efficiency than the LPDDR5X in the other configurations. Four finishes are offered, including a ceramic special edition. Current prices for every configuration are listed on the product page, and shipping is worldwide with tracking included.

What a “mid-fold” actually means

Foldables have split into two camps. Book-style foldables open into a tall, narrow panel. The newer wide foldables open into something closer to a square but are bulky closed. Xiaomi's argument is that neither is quite right.

• Closed: a 5.38-inch cover screen at 1712 × 1168 — roughly passport-sized and genuinely usable in one hand, in a body 83.6mm wide and 10.68mm thick
• Open: a 7.58-inch inner display at 2364 × 1672, in a body just 5.02mm thin

The whole phone weighs 219g. Xiaomi has also retired the MIX Fold line entirely and moved its foldable flagship into the main numbered series — foldables are no longer the experimental branch at Xiaomi.

Both displays are unusually good. Peak brightness is 4000 nits on each, minimum brightness is 1 nit for night reading, both run up to 120Hz with full-range DC dimming, and both support HDR10+, HDR Vivid and Dolby Vision. The inner panel is Pol-less AMOLED behind foldable UTG glass; the cover screen sits behind Xiaomi Longjing Glass 3.0. Wet-touch support works on both.

The bands the Xiaomi 18 Fold supports

These bands come directly from Xiaomi's official specification:

• 2G GSM: B2, B3, B5, B8
• 3G WCDMA: B1, B2, B4, B5, B6, B8, B19
• 4G FDD-LTE: B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B7, B8, B12, B13, B17, B18, B19, B20, B25, B26, B28, B66
• 4G TD-LTE: B34, B38, B39, B40, B41, B42, B48
• 5G NR: n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n12, n13, n18, n20, n25, n26, n28, n34, n38, n39, n40, n41, n48, n66, n77, n78, n79

This is one of the widest band lists on any China-market phone. The low-bands that matter for rural and indoor coverage are all here — B12 and B17 plus n12 for AT&T, B13 and n13 for Verizon, B20 for Europe — along with B7 and n7 for European and Australian cities, the full AWS and PCS set, and n79 for Japan. All 5G is sub-6 GHz. The phone also supports 4×4 MIMO and HPUE.

Carrier compatibility by country

What this means for you

Great fit almost everywhere: the 18 Fold has genuinely global band coverage. Buyers in Singapore, the UAE and wider GCC, Australia, Japan on any of the four carriers, Canada, South Korea and across Europe are all well covered, and unlike most China models it also carries the full set of US low-bands for AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon.

One thing to note: Verizon whitelists devices, so Verizon users should confirm with Verizon before ordering.

XRING O3: Xiaomi's own flagship silicon

The 18 Fold is the launch vehicle for the XRING O3, Xiaomi's second-generation in-house flagship SoC:

• TSMC 3nm process
• 10-core all-big-core CPU, up to 4.35GHz — no efficiency cores at all
• 16-core G2-Ultra NX GPU
• 4-core XRING NPU

Very few companies design their own flagship phone silicon — Apple, Samsung, Huawei, Google, and now Xiaomi. Putting it in the most expensive phone the company has made is a statement about how confident it is in the chip.

Leica 200MP triple camera

• 200MP Leica main — f/1.7, 23mm equivalent, OIS, ultra-clear glass lens element
• 50MP Leica periscope telephoto — f/2.8 with OIS, 3.5x optical and a 7x optical-quality zoom step
• 50MP Leica ultra-wide — f/2.4
• 16MP front camera — f/2.2, 90°

Video records at 8K, 4K at 60fps, with slow motion up to 1080p at 960fps and Dolby Vision capture. Leica native dual colour profiles and the Master Lens Pack are included, along with a laser autofocus sensor.

The rest of the specification

• System: Xiaomi HyperOS 4
• Battery: 6000mAh dual-cell, 67W wired and 50W wireless HyperCharge, with PD3.0 and 50W PPS support
• Durability: IP58
• Wireless: Wi-Fi 7 with MLO, Bluetooth 6.0 with Dual-Bluetooth and LDAC, UWB, multifunction NFC
• Data: USB 3.2 Gen2 at up to 10Gbps
• Audio: stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, Hi-Res certified, high-dynamic 3-mic array
• Other: side fingerprint, infrared remote, X-axis linear motor, barometer
• Dimensions: 117.8 × 163.8 × 5.02mm unfolded, 117.8 × 83.6 × 10.68mm folded, 219g

The USB 3.2 Gen2 port is worth noting — 10Gbps transfer is rare on phones and useful if you shoot 8K. Note that the cable in the box is USB 2.0, so a USB 3 cable is needed separately to reach those speeds.

How to buy the Xiaomi 18 Fold outside China

The 18 Fold is a China-market model, and Xiaomi's foldables have historically not been sold internationally through official channels — the MIX Fold series never left China. Foldables are also typically supply-constrained at launch. The normal route for buyers outside China is to order from an exporter that ships internationally.

We have been shipping Chinese flagships direct to customers worldwide since 2008, to the US, UK, Europe, the Gulf, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Australia and 150+ countries, with full tracking via DHL, FedEx or UPS. Every device is 100% brand new and genuine, never refurbished.

China version, HyperOS 4 & Google services

This is the China model running Xiaomi HyperOS 4, and the system supports English. Google Mobile Services (GMS) come pre-installed from the factory, so Google’s core services are already on the phone. Adding the Google Play Store is quick and easy to do yourself once it arrives — no technical steps needed. The phone is unlocked.
