This unique phone with a rear OLED screen could soon be available globally

TL;DR Xiaomi’s upcoming 18 Pro series could finally arrive in global markets outside China. The flagship series is expected to include a rear screen across the entire camera island, similar to the Xiaomi 17 Pro series. Xiaomi is expected to offer the smartphone lineup with Qualcomm’s next-gen Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipset or its Pro version.

If there’s one criticism I have of modern-day slab-style smartphones, it’s that they all look pretty much the same. Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi challenged that notion last year with the 17 Pro lineup , which sports a secondary display on the back. While those phones were limited to the Chinese market, it’s now looking like things may be different for the upcoming Xiaomi 18 Pro series .

According to XimiTime , the Xiaomi 18 Pro series could be available in Japan, Russia, Taiwan, Turkey, and nations in the European Economic Area (EEA). The US remains notably absent from this list, though the smartphone lineup’s likely availability in markets outside China is certainly encouraging.
