Xiaomi has confirmed that the Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max will launch in international markets during 2026. The two phones were just introduced in China, and Xiaomi says they will be its first devices powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 family.
Both Pro models feature a rear-mounted secondary display, alongside LTPO AMOLED screens with a 1Hz to 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, 4,000-nit peak brightness and a 300Hz touch sampling rate. Their core hardware differs substantially in screen size, processor and battery capacity.
| Model | Main display | Processor | Battery |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xiaomi 18 Pro | 6.4-inch LTPO AMOLED | Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 | 7,000mAh |
| Xiaomi 18 Pro Max | 6.9-inch LTPO AMOLED | Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 | 8,500mAh |
The phones use LPDDR5X memory and UFS 4.1 storage, with support for 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. Their camera systems include two 200MP Leica cameras—one main camera and one periscope telephoto—plus a 50MP ultrawide camera and a 50MP front camera. Both run HyperOS 4 based on Android 17.
Xiaomi’s previous generation reached Europe without the Pro variants that carried rear secondary displays, making this a broader international rollout for that part of the lineup. Xiaomi has not yet detailed launch countries, release dates or pricing for the Xiaomi 18 Pro series outside China.
