Xiaomi Brings Folding Phone And Gran Turismo EV To IFA 2026
Xiaomi used a home appliance show, not a phone launch, to put a foldable, a concept car and a smart home lineup in one booth, which is the clearest sign yet that it is selling the Human x Car x Home ecosystem as a single product story.

Xiaomi showed the Xiaomi 18 Fold at IFA 2026 in Berlin, its first appearance at the show. The foldable closes to passport size and opens to a roughly 4:3 display, with a 200-megapixel wide camera, a 6000mAh battery and the company's XRING O3 chip. Xiaomi also displayed a full-size model of the Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo Concept, a virtual hypercar built for Gran Turismo 7.
The Xiaomi 18 Fold was shown behind glass, so visitors could not handle it, but the shape was visible: short vertically, passport size when closed. Xiaomi says the phone was announced in China on September 7, with pricing from 10999 yuan. Alongside it sat a full-size mockup of the Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo Concept, a 900V virtual hypercar rated at 1900 hp that Xiaomi says will not be produced or driven on public roads, and the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, the production EV Xiaomi says set a fastest lap for a production EV at the Nurburgring Nordschleife.
