Xiaomi 18 Pro Max 16GB/1TB Transparent Edition (China Version) – Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, 2.9-Inch Rear Display, 8500mAh, 100W, Dual 200MP Leica

The Xiaomi 18 Pro Max Transparent Edition is the special version of Xiaomi’s new flagship, with a see-through red glass back and a visible internal-style design beneath it, including a round charging-coil shape. Xiaomi sells it only with 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage, at a higher price than the standard colours. This unit is the China version, launched on 23 September 2026.

A phone that shows its insides

The transparent back is the whole point of this edition. Under red-tinted glass you see a round coil shape and a layout of component-style details, so it looks like no other phone on a desk or in a photo. It uses the same glass back construction as Galaxy Blue, which makes the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max Transparent Edition 240 g and 8.47 mm thick. Xiaomi lists no other hardware differences from the standard 16 GB + 1 TB model.

Cameras and screens

Under the special finish it is a full Xiaomi 18 Pro Max: a 200 MP Leica main camera with a 1/1.28-inch sensor and OIS, a 200 MP periscope telephoto with 3.2x optical zoom, and a 50 MP ultra-wide. Video goes up to 8K at 30 fps or 4K at 120 fps, and the 1 TB of storage gives room to keep it. The 6.9-inch AMOLED has a hardware privacy screen, and the 2.9-inch rear display beside the cameras shows notifications and lets you frame selfies with the main camera.

Why pay more for this edition

The standard colours and this one share the same chip, memory, cameras and battery, so the extra cost is for the look and for rarity. If the phone will be kept in a clear case and shown off, the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max Transparent Edition is the version people will notice. If you want the same performance for less, the black, white, pink and blue models are the sensible choice.

China version in brief

It runs the China edition of Xiaomi HyperOS 4, and Xiaomi does not list Google services on the China spec sheet, so message us first if you need them. It supports the main UAE 4G and 5G bands, with two Nano-SIM slots and no eSIM.

Who This Is Not For

If you plan to keep the phone in an opaque case, the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max Transparent Edition makes little sense, because you pay more only for the back. At 240 g it is also the heaviest version along with blue. It is a China version with no eSIM and no local Xiaomi UAE agent warranty, and Xiaomi does not list Google services.
