Xiaomi says the Xiaomi 18 Fold has seen high demand in China on its first day on the market.
The mid-fold is now official in China, and while the brand has still no plans to offer it globally, its domestic launch is already a success. According to Wang Xiaoyan, Senior Vice President of Xiaomi Group and President of Xiaomi China, the phone is selling like hot cakes in China.
On its first day, it recorded sales 310% higher than those of its predecessor, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 4, sold during the same period.
