Xiaomi 18 Pro adds Google Maps, Spotify, YouTube Music, and Trip.com support to rear display

Xiaomi is set to launch the Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max globally on November 17. People want to know if this back display is actually useful.

Xiaomi just gave us a clear answer. The company confirmed that Google Maps, Spotify, YouTube Music, and Trip.com will work on the rear display right out of the box. You can check your travel plans or see road directions without opening your phone’s main screen.

You can also check album art and play music right from the back. The small screen shows your alerts as well, including flight details. You can use it to take selfies with the main cameras or check the weather app.

You can even type a short text to make new AI apps on the back screen. This makes the extra display a handy tool for daily use.

The Xiaomi 18 Pro and Pro Max feature Leica-branded camera systems with a 200MP main camera, a 200MP periscope telephoto camera, and a 50MP ultra-wide camera.

The Pro model will bring a 6.4-inch display and a 7,000mAh battery. The larger Pro Max variant comes with a 6.9-inch display and a bigger 8,500mAh battery.

The two devices are powered by Qualcomm’s latest flagship processors, with the Pro Max getting a more powerful chip. Other features include 2K LTPO AMOLED displays, HyperOS 4, IP69 dust and water resistance, Dragon Crystal Glass 3 protection, and support for fast wired and wireless charging.
