Summary

  • Leaked screenshots from a global ROM show Xiaomi preparing a “Smart privacy display” feature for an upcoming flagship, likely the Xiaomi 18 Pro and Pro Max due in September.
  • The interface lets users create app groups with different privacy settings and can automatically trigger the display on sensitive pages such as password entry, payments, transfers and messaging.
  • The leak suggests Xiaomi is moving quickly to match Samsung, whose Galaxy S26 Ultra introduced the first built-in hardware-controlled privacy display on a smartphone earlier this year.
  • June rumors had already pointed to the feature, while the Xiaomi 18 Pro and Pro Max are also expected to use Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chips and keep rear screens.
