Xiaomi has given the screen of its Xiaomi 18 Pro series a name for the global audience: HyperRGB 2.0. The company’s X account announced it on 14 November, promising vivid colour, high brightness, “2K-level” sharpness and an adaptive refresh rate.
The three pictures attached to the post carry the only figures: 4,000 nits of peak brightness and a 1-120Hz refresh range. The post itself gives no screen size, no resolution and no power claim, and it leaves out the privacy mode Xiaomi pitched in China, which is not confirmed for the global phones.
The panel is not new. At the China event on 23 September, Xiaomi listed a 6.4-inch 2436×1120 screen on the 18 Pro and a 6.9-inch 2624×1208 one on the Pro Max, both with 4,000 nits and a 1-120Hz LTPO range. Its pre-launch announcements called the same screen Super Pixel 2.0, a full RGB pixel layout on a new M11 panel, with a green material Xiaomi says is 20% more efficient. Xiaomi also claims the power draw of a 1.5K screen with the sharpness of a 2K one. Those are Xiaomi’s own claims, with no independent tests yet.
The first generation came with the 17 series last year. Lei Jun pitched “Super Pixel” on the 17 Pro Max with three RGB sub-pixels in each pixel and a claimed 26% cut in power use against traditional 2K screens. The Xiaomi 17 Ultra page on its Pakistan store sells the same idea as Xiaomi HyperRGB, a full RGB sub-pixel array that lowers power use. So Xiaomi has used both names for this technology, and the X post settles on HyperRGB for the 18 Pro.
The series arrives globally on 17 November in Paris, where Xiaomi should lay out the global display specs. The phones’ rear display is the other screen the company has been teasing ahead of the event.
