They refused to debut the Xiaomi 17 Pro and Pro Max in the global market last year. People had to source them from China if they wanted one, and this was a huge letdown for us international fans. But there was a leak today that predicts the Xiaomi 18 Pro will be unveiled outside the home market this time.
They might dump the China-exclusive launch strategy this time for the Xiaomi 18 Pro. This was confirmed after XIMITIME posted a bunch of certification images of a handset model 26122PN61G. It's actually believed to be the Xiaomi 18 Pro. The filings were from more than one region.
This newcomer should come out in Europe and Russia, if we go by the leak. Turkey made the list too, by the way. And so did Taiwan and Japan in Asia. But not all regions open their certification databases to the public. So more countries are covertly putting a welcome mat for the Xiaomi 18 Pro without anyone knowing.
We have to exclude Xiaomi 18 Pro Max from the conversation at this point. That's because there's still a debate going on about its existence. And the leak source doesn't talk about it either. Yes, it's possible that the 18 Pro Max will follow the Pro in some regions it's shipped to. But we don't want to color your opinion. Better wait for leak sources to confirm the news. By the way, here is the newest Xiaomi mobile prices, featuring the latest devices, specifications, and market rates.
We do have reasonable suspicion that Xiaomi 18 Pro Max will end up in China at least. If not all the way to the global market. That's because of a couple of leaks. The most recent prediction from Kartikay Singh says Xiaomi 18 Pro will grab LOFIC 2.0 and the Pro Max will have their leading LOFIC 3.0 tech.
We found more facts in leaks and reports, though they are mostly about Xiaomi 18 Pro. It seems the phone will use a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 2nm chip. There are dual 200MP cameras on this newcomer. Speakers are louder. There's a better haptic motor here. The battery is bigger too, in the 7000mAh range (100W wired + 100W wireless input).
