Another Android Flagship Gets Its Own Take on Privacy Display, and It’s Promising No Drawbacks
Xiaomi says the panel keeps front-facing clarity while cutting side visibility to about 1% beyond 60 degrees.
- Xiaomi announced the Xiaomi 18 Pro series featuring a Smart Privacy Display that uses 1:1 alternating standard and baffled privacy pixels, cutting side brightness to roughly 1% beyond 60 degrees.
- Rather than applying software overlays or third-party protectors, Xiaomi's solution operates at the pixel level like the Galaxy S26 Ultra's Privacy Display, with microscopic physical baffles restricting beam angles.
- Crucially, the display features SuperPixel 2.0 full RGB subpixel arrangement; Xiaomi claims the Pro Max reaches roughly 9.5 million subpixels, comparable to a 2K panel while drawing power typical of a 1.5K display.
- Privacy mode activates through Quick Settings, the AI key, voice commands, app-specific rules, location triggers, or front-camera shoulder-surfer detection, allowing automatic protection in banking apps.
- It remains uncertain whether the Smart Privacy Display features will launch outside China, though Xiaomi is expected to bring Xiaomi 18 series phones to the global market as more Android brands adopt Privacy Display technology.
