Xiaomi 18 Fold foldable phone set for September 7 launch

Xiaomi confirmed its new foldable phone, the 18 Fold, will launch in China on September 7. The device features a 5.38-inch outside screen and a 7.58-inch inside display, with a wider "mid-fold" design that sits between large foldables and pocket-sized flip phones. It's powered by Xiaomi's new Xring O3 AI chip and runs on HyperOS 4. Xiaomi also revealed the phone's exterior design ahead of release.

Why it mattersXiaomi is taking a swing at a new category in foldable phones, aiming for a sweet spot between bulky and too-small. The in-house AI chip hints at ambitions beyond hardware specs.

Apple is expected to unveil its first foldable iPhone at next week's event. Most sources call it the iPhone Ultra, though the name isn’t confirmed—Apple could still go with 'Duo' or something else. The device will have a 5.5-inch outer screen and a 7.6-inch inner one, matching Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8. It supports MagSafe charging and will rely on Touch ID, not Face ID, because of its thinner design.

Google Pixel 11 launches, raises base model price

Google’s Pixel 11 phone is out, starting at $899 in the US—a bump of $80 over last year. It ships with 256GB storage, a faster Tensor G6 chip, a 6.3-inch OLED screen, and an upgraded battery that can last over two days in light use. One catch: the regular Pixel 11 drops some camera features found on the pricier Pro series, and lacks support for full-resolution photo modes available in far cheaper phones.
