Xiaomi 18 Pro Max Hands On Review - Red Transparent Edition The Xiaomi 18 Pro Max Transparent Edition might be the wildest-looking flagship this year. But is the look worth paying extra for? 👇 🔴 RED EVERYWHERE The back, the box, and even the charger and cable are transparent red to match. 🔍 NOT JUST CLEAR GLASS Despite the name, it isn't simply clear glass over the real parts. Xiaomi uses thin layers of red film with a raised, embossed texture for a 3D, sculpted look. Some reports say you can still make out how the parts are laid out underneath. Custom wallpapers on both screens show a digital version of the phone's internals. ⏪ A THROWBACK Nothing made transparent phones its signature, and the style is common on cheaper phones. This brings it to a top-end flagship, and it's Xiaomi's first transparent flagship since the Mi 10 Ultra in 2020. 📱 DESIGN & DISPLAYS • Rounder edges than last year • Flat camera module built into the rear screen, no bump • New AI button on the side • 2.9" rear screen with 100+ app cards • 6.9" main screen, up to 4,000 nits • Privacy screen that can switch on automatically when the front camera spots someone looking ⚡ SAME PHONE UNDERNEATH • Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 • 8,500mAh battery, 100W wired, 50W wireless • Leica cameras: 200MP main, 200MP periscope, 50MP ultrawide 💰 THE PRICE One configuration only: 16GB RAM + 1TB, ¥10,999 (around $1,640).
