In addition to its regular colorways, the Xiaomi 18 Pro series also comes in a special Transparent Red variant.

Weeks ago, we heard that the Chinese giant would bring back the transparent design we first saw in the Mi 8 Explorer Edition back in 2018. The company has finally confirmed the matter upon the unveiling of its new flagship series.

The special colorway features a bright red shade and a semi-transparent back panel that reveals some of its internal components. According to Xiaomi, it used a micron-level film process to achieve this look, complemented by a matching red theme for the phones’ main and rear displays.

The Xiaomi 18 Pro series Transparent Red Edition comes in a single 16GB/1TB configuration. You can get the Pro model for CN¥9,999 (1,492)andtheProMaxforCN¥10,999(1,642).
