- Xiaomi 18 Pro gets a built-in hardware-level privacy display.
- Privacy protection can work with apps, floating windows, split-screen and notifications.
- The Xiaomi 18 Pro series launches in China on September 23.
It is quite clear that Xiaomi is incorporating a very practical feature in its upcoming flagship, not some other specification that appears impressive on paper alone. The privacy display of the Xiaomi 18 Pro is meant to ensure that any sensitive data cannot be compromised in any way whatsoever.
The company has now officially announced that its upcoming 18 Pro series will incorporate the Super Pixel 2.0 display with inbuilt privacy features. This feature operates based on how light exits the display and makes it difficult for anyone else to view its contents when seen from an angle. Let’s break down the story.
Xiaomi 18 Pro privacy display brings built-in screen privacy features
It differs significantly from applying a privacy screen onto the display. According to Xiaomi, the newly developed panel included the M11 light-emitting system, a novel green-emitting material, and the full RGB pixel configuration along with the privacy protection technology.
Moreover, it offers up to 4,000 nits of peak brightness and higher efficiency. The main concept behind the innovation is rather easy to understand. When viewing the screen right from the front, it is fully readable, and from other angles, the difficulty of its perception gradually increases.
According to rumors, the privacy developed by Xiaomi can lower the side brightness down to 1% for the viewing angles higher than 60 degrees in the privacy mode. Therefore, the technology will be highly effective in public transportation, offices, and cafes.
Making privacy at Xiaomi more flexible
The most interesting point here is the approach that Xiaomi is taking to the software component. The privacy display on the Xiaomi 18 Pro does not limit its protection to the entire screen alone. The company has already shown its functioning while using floating windows, split-screen view, and lock screen notifications.
Therefore, the user will be able to keep their sensitive data secure without having the whole screen private. The previous firmware hints have also shown that there will be some auto-protection of sensitive screens where passwords, payments, fund transfers, and messages are involved. There is still much unknown about the exact software experience of the new feature.
Xiaomi 18 Pro launch date
The launch of the Xiaomi 18 Pro series is set to happen in China on September 23. Xiaomi has confirmed several other aspects of its hardware, including the new display technology, whereas reports indicate that batteries could go up to 8,500mAh along with a second display at the back.
Overall, one of the more practical improvements for me would be the privacy display. The true test will be to see how Xiaomi will manage to achieve excellent side-angle protection without any sacrifice in screen quality. Let me know your thoughts in the comment section. Thank you.
