First look: Xiaomi 18 Fold makes its official debut at IFA 2026 with XRing O3 chip

Xiaomi has officially shown off the Xiaomi 18 Fold at IFA 2026 . The company gave us our first real-world look at the upcoming wide-screen foldable after weeks of leaks. The phone is being showcased at Xiaomi’s huge IFA booth alongside more than 380 products spanning smartphones, smart home devices, cars, AI, and other tech.

This is the first time Xiaomi has shown off a real Xiaomi 18 Fold, revealing a cherry red color. This follows weeks of leaks and the publication of official renders yesterday. A close look at the wide foldable reveals that it has a triple-camera setup. The text on the camera bar (see first image below) also suggests we’re looking at a focal range from 17mm to 80mm. So it’s possible that the new foldable has a ~3.3x telephoto camera.
