Summary from the TLDR Hardware newsletter
Xiaomi's 18 Fold launched in China a full 24 hours ahead of Apple's rumored iPhone Fold, packing a wide-style, passport-sized chassis with a 5.38-inch outer OLED and 7.58-inch inner display, both hitting 4,000 nits peak brightness with a 1-120Hz LTPO refresh rate and, notably, an RGB sub-pixel structure that's a first for any foldable. Xiaomi prioritized battery over thinness, fitting a 6,000mAh cell (with 67W wired charging) into a 5.02mm-unfolded body that's still slightly thicker than Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold8.
