Xiaomi has introduced a Ceramic Special Edition of the Xiaomi 18 Fold foldable phone, featuring a distinctive pink-toned color. The announcement came from Lu Weibing, Xiaomi Group Partner and President, who emphasized that “each piece of color is unique.”
Design Details and Color Options
The Ceramic Special Edition keeps the same design as the standard Xiaomi 18 Fold without additional custom elements. Its gentle pink hue differentiates it from other colors, offering a softer tone. Previously, the Xiaomi 18 Fold was known to come in three colors: warm gold-white, black, and Nishino red.
The phone’s design highlights an extremely narrow four-sided equally edged frame combined with an ultra-elliptical large-radius corner. This approach promotes an elegant line style. The rear panel features a racetrack-shaped Deco with a flat, wrapped-around aluminum frame, aiming for a neat and pure finish.
