Xiaomi started teasing its 18 Pro series on Weibo this week with a teaser clip that gives us our best look at its rear display. Xiaomi teased enhancements for the screen, though it did not go into details. Recent rumors allege the company could upgrade the rear display from 2.1 inches to 4 inches, as well as "increased brightness."

After the Xiaomi 17 Pro series' positive reception, the Chinese OEM is looking to rekindle those same flames. The clip gives us our best look at the 18 Pro's rear display. A multi-colored gradient animation swims around its edges. The teaser confirms that the device will feature two lenses within the rear display; however, there's a third right below. This keeps things similar to what Xiaomi did last year with the 17 Pro. We can also spot a couple of buttons on the phone's right side. The opposite side also features a button, which is a key difference between the 17 Pro and the 18 Pro.

While exciting, Xiaomi teases more, stating, "The all-new Xiaomi 18 Pro series features a brand-new, versatile back screen." This is what we're focusing on since we know how popular the Xiaomi 17 Pro series was for the company. People enjoyed the secondary screen, but how Xiaomi intends to upgrade it is still unclear. With its official teasers going up, the launch probably isn't too far.

As we mentioned before, the Xiaomi 17 Pro series was incredibly popular for the company. Barely a month after the devices debuted, Xiaomi publicly stated that the rear displays would continue in the next series. It was reported that the 17 series shattered "first-sale" records within minutes after going live. Lu Weibing, Xiaomi's president, said the 2.1-inch rear display on the 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max made the difference. A "positive surge" in the market gave Xiaomi all it needed to keep this trend going. Rumors claim Xiaomi is not only keeping the display, but it'll upgrade it, too. Supposedly, the new display will measure 4 inches, up from 2.1 inches on the 17 Pro series. Reports also say the Chinese OEM could improve the rear display's brightness, along with "privacy protections."
