Xiaomi 18 Pro with second rear screen will be launched internationally for the first time
Xiaomi made it official, on July 24, 2026, that the 18 Pro model will be launched in global markets, putting an end to the Chinese exclusivity of a feature that excited many consumers. The cutting-edge smartphone will maintain the innovative second screen on its back, a feature present in the previous version, which was previously restricted only to China.
According to data provided by the manufacturer, the international variant, identified by the number 26122PN61G, will be available in several regions such as Türkiye, Russia, Japan and Taiwan. However, India was the only nation that did not enter into the distribution plans.
The secondary screen functionality was initially introduced on the Xiaomi 17 Pro, attracting great interest as it allows you to view alerts, use small applications and even capture self-portraits with the device’s main cameras.

Despite positive acceptance, the previous generation never officially reached the public outside Chinese territory. Now, Xiaomi is expanding this feature to the global market, marking its international debut.
The company itself had already guaranteed, at the beginning of 2025, that the auxiliary screen would continue to be present in the new generation, consolidating its strategy in an exclusive attribute, rarely found among current competitors.
In addition to its unique design, the Xiaomi 18 Pro must be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro processor, a high-performance architecture developed for premium cell phones.
For photography, the device will incorporate two 200-megapixel SmartSens sensors. The main camera will be equipped with a 1/1.28 inch LOFIC 3.0 sensor, and a second sensor with the same capacity will be used in another lens in the rear camera system.
