Here's how Xiaomi 18 Pro Series Hardware level Privacy Protection works

One set of privacy pixels and one set of non-privacy pixels. They are arranged in a 1:1 staggered ratio, with different viewing angles. In daily use, all pixels are lit for flagship-quality display. When privacy mode is enabled, only the privacy pixels are illuminated, providing privacy when viewed from the side.

Speaking of display quality, Privacy screen protectors using micro-blind technology can compromise screen brightness and image quality, causing eye strain. Xiaomi's privacy screen, on the other hand, uses a native hardware solution and, thanks to SuperPixel technology, each pixel has complete RGB sub-pixels regardless of whether privacy is enabled, resulting in a clear and sharp display.

Xiaomi 18 Pro officially confirmed to have Privacy Display and this video shows it even works on notification, split screen, custom apps & AI Key to activate it.

Qualcomm just announced two new flagship Snapdragon chips… and honestly, the naming scheme is getting hard to follow. 😵‍💫

Meet:

⚡ Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6
⚡ Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6

Both bring Qualcomm’s latest flagship platform with 5 GHz Chip, but the Extreme model gets the full feature set.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6

🚀 2× Oryon prime cores at 5.0GHz + 6 performance cores at 4.0GHz
⚡ TSMC 2nm N2P
🧠 35% faster NPU + dedicated AI matrix cores
🎮 Adreno 850, up to 44% faster
✨ AI upscaling + frame generation
📹 8K 60FPS video + advanced APV codec
💾 LPDDR6/LPDDR5X, up to 24GB RAM + UFS 5.0
📶 X105 5G modem up to 14.8Gbps
📡 Wi-Fi 8, Bluetooth 6.0, UWB + Thread

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6

Still extremely powerful, but with some features cut back:

🚀 Same 5.0GHz Oryon CPU
⚡ Same TSMC 2nm N2P process
🧠 14% faster NPU
🎮 Adreno 845, up to 35% faster
📹 8K 30FPS + 4K 120FPS slow-motion
💾 LPDDR6/LPDDR5X + UFS 5.0
📶 Same X105 5G modem

And here’s where it gets confusing:

SM8975 = 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6
SM8950 = 8 Elite Gen 6

So we basically have a Gen 6, an Extreme Gen 6, and two different chip numbers.

Qualcomm’s silicon naming is becoming almost as complicated as the chips themselves. 😭📱
