Xiaomi 18 Fold to Feature Latest LPDDR6 Memory from CXMT

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Xiaomi 18 Fold is set to become the first smartphone in the world to utilise the latest Low Power Double Data Rate 6 (LPDDR6) memory from CXMT, a Chinese company that produces dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) for mobile phones, PCs, tablets, and other products.

According to a report by Gizmochina on Saturday (29/8), Xiaomi founder and leader Lei Jun confirmed the use of CXMT’s LPDDR6 for the Xiaomi 18 Fold via a post on Weibo, while also extending congratulations to CXMT on achieving mass production of LPDDR6.

In his Weibo post, Lei Jun stated that Xiaomi’s XRING O3 chip is the first chip to support this new memory standard. The Xiaomi 1s Fold, which is scheduled for release in September 2026, is expected to be the first device to implement this technology.

Xiaomi released the XRING O3 on 24 August 2026, introducing it as the industry’s first chip designed to operate with LPDDR6.

According to IT Home publications cited by Gizmochina, CXMT has detailed the specifications of the new LPDDR6 memory chip in its mid-year report. The company stated that LPDDR6 offers a significant improvement over LPDDR5X memory due to enhancements in architecture and data transfer systems.

According to the company, LPDDR6 is capable of achieving data transfer speeds of up to 12,800 Mbps and is available with memory capacities of up to 16 GB per chip. CXMT has already dispatched samples of the memory to key customers for testing.

As the company seeks to compete with major memory manufacturers such as Samsung and SK Hynix, it is currently scaling up the production of this memory. Faster data transfer capabilities will assist mobile phones in running various applications more smoothly, launching apps more quickly, and handling artificial intelligence features more efficiently.
