Xiaomi 18 Fold Camera Offers Dual Modes and Flexible Angles
Xiaomi has shared details on the camera features of the new Xiaomi 18 Fold foldable phone. The key concept is captured as “two modes + multiple angles,” allowing flexible shooting with the device’s unique foldable design.
The foldable phone supports shooting with the outer screen facing forward, making it easy to take pictures of friends from different angles without needing to retake shots repeatedly. There is also a waist-level shooting mode that lets users capture shots of low objects like flowers or cats without bending down.
The product manager from Xiaomi’s camera department, known as @Bao_小李, shared images showing how the Xiaomi 18 Fold enables dual-mode, multi-angle photography. Users can freely switch between using the outer screen for selfies or waist-level framing for hands-free low-angle shots.
Leica Cameras Power the Xiaomi 18 Fold
The Xiaomi 18 Fold is equipped with a Leica professional triple-camera system. It includes a 200MP ultra-clear main sensor with a 1/1.56″ large sensor size, and a 50MP telephoto periscope lens offering 3.5x optical zoom. Both lenses feature Leica optical Summilux technology, which Xiaomi claims provides clear and pure image quality.
When folded, the phone offers a 4:3 ultra-large viewfinder format for easier framing. While unfolded, users can enjoy real-time, high-definition previews on the outer screen. The camera system is also compatible with professional PC-level editing software, supporting advanced post-processing and creative workflows.
Flexible Capture Enhances Foldable Experience
This dual-mode, multi-angle camera approach complements the foldable design, making photography more versatile. Users can adapt quickly between casual selfies and creative shots without changing devices or using accessories.
The waist-level framing mode is especially convenient for capturing low-angle subjects comfortably, a feature not typical in standard smartphone photography.
Overall, these camera capabilities suggest that Xiaomi is focusing on leveraging the unique hardware of the foldable phone to offer new photography experiences.
