Xiaomi Sets Sept. 7 Launch for 18 Fold and 3 Sky Nomad SUVs

Summary

  • Sept. 7 at 7 p.m. Beijing time is the date Xiaomi picked for its autumn flagship event, where it is expected to unveil the Xiaomi 18 Fold, the Pad 9 Pro Max and three Sky Nomad SUVs.
  • The 18 Fold is expected to debut Xiaomi’s Xring O3 flagship AI processor, making the event a combined showcase for the company’s mobile hardware and in-house chip ambitions.
  • Three extended-range models — the N70 Pro, N70 Max and N90 Max — are also set for formal launch, giving Xiaomi its first specific release timetable for the Sky Nomad lineup.
  • July pre-sales had opened the Sky Nomad range without a firm event date, so the Sept. 7 schedule marks Xiaomi’s clearest step yet toward bringing the SUVs to market.
