Leaked screenshots show how Xiaomi’s Smart privacy display will work

# What leaked

# What the interface looks like The leak presents a settings page for "Smart privacy display" where users can:

• Create named groups and add apps to each group.
• Apply distinct privacy-display behavior per group, so different apps can have different protections.
• Enable an automatic option that switches the display into privacy mode for specific page types.

Screens in the leak label a feature called "page privacy display," which appears to detect and protect sensitive pages automatically. The leak lists examples of those sensitive pages: password entry, payments, transfers, and messaging.

# How it behaves compared with Samsung's Privacy Display

# Regional differences shown in the leak

# Likely device targets and timing The leak and reporting connect the Smart privacy display to Xiaomi's next flagship phones, likely the Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max. Those models are expected to be revealed in September and are reported to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro. Earlier rumors also suggested those models will keep rear auxiliary screens and possibly increase their size.

# What this means for users If implemented as shown, Xiaomi's approach gives users more granular control over when and where privacy display activates. Instead of a single global toggle, you could:

• Group work and personal apps and apply different privacy rules to each.
• Let the phone automatically protect specific actions like entering passwords or completing payments.

That combination targets convenience (automatic activation) and flexibility (per-app/group rules).

# What's still unknown The leak shows UI concepts and labeled options but does not confirm the final behavior, detection accuracy for page types, performance impact, or whether the hardware implementation will match Samsung's angle-based blacking-out. It also doesn't confirm final regional availability or whether all leaked elements will ship on global phones.

# Bottom line The leaked Smart privacy display UI indicates Xiaomi is preparing a configurable, partly automatic privacy-display feature for its next flagships. The interface focuses on per-app/group settings and automatic protection for specific page types, with some elements possibly restricted to China ROMs in early builds.
