Xiaomi is preparing to enter the race for "wide" format foldable smartphones. The new model, called Xiaomi 18 Fold, will be presented on September 7 in China. This launch represents the Chinese company's entry into the foldable device market with this specific format.

The Asian company manages to get ahead of Apple, which is also expected to reveal its highly anticipated foldable iPhone during the month of September. The race between the two tech giants intensifies with this launch.

The "wide" format stands out from other foldable designs, offering an expanded screen experience with different proportions than usual. Xiaomi positions itself as one of the first manufacturers to bet on this specific configuration.
