Xiaomi confirmed international software integration for the secondary rear display on the 18 Pro lineup. The compact back panel supports real time navigation through Google Maps, music playback via Spotify and YouTube Music, and conversational assistance through Google Gemini. Travel bookings link directly through Trip.com. Xiaomi Group Vice President Xu Fei demonstrated that the system also creates custom micro applications using generative artificial intelligence. The software automatically generates on screen widgets for vocabulary study or hydration tracking based on user input.
The handset runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 mobile platform. Imaging centers on a Leica optical system featuring a 200 MP primary camera with a large sensor alongside a matching 200 MP periscope telephoto camera. The back of the phone integrates the customizable AI display directly into the camera island. Base configurations with this hardware start at 5999 yuan in the domestic Chinese market.
Xiaomi executive Lu Weibing stated that international interest in the 18 Pro series remains high among overseas consumers. The company plans to release the phones in international markets before the end of the year.
