Xiaomi 18 leaked specs reveal 7,200mAh battery, triple 200MP camera setup

Last week, Xiaomi unveiled the Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max in China, but the standard model was missing from the lineup. A recent certification has since suggested that the Xiaomi 18 is still in development. Now, tipster Bald Panda has shared several key specifications of the upcoming phone.

Xiaomi 18 specifications (rumored)

According to the tipster, the Xiaomi 18 will feature a 6.4-inch flat display with a 1.5K resolution. The screen is said to use Xiaomi’s M11 panel, which also features on the recently launched Pro models. This would keep the standard model relatively compact while offering a flat-screen design.

Under the hood, the Xiaomi 18 will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipset. The phone is also tipped to pack a 7,200mAh battery with support for 100W wired charging and wireless charging. The combination would give the standard model a larger battery than the Xiaomi 18 Pro, which packs a 7,000mAh cell.

Camera details are particularly interesting, with the leak pointing to a triple-camera setup comprising a 200-megapixel 1/1.28-inch main sensor, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera, and a 200-megapixel telephoto camera with 3x zoom. The Xiaomi 18 is also expected to run HyperOS 4 based on Android 17, matching the software generation used by the recently launched Xiaomi 18 Pro models.

Xiaomi 18 launch timeframe (rumored)

As for the launch, Bald Panda expects the Xiaomi 18 to arrive around December. This would follow the Xiaomi 17 lineup’s staggered release strategy, with Xiaomi having unveiled the Xiaomi 17 Ultra in China in December 2025.

While a December launch for the Xiaomi 18 is now expected, vague reports have also raised questions over whether Xiaomi will include a Xiaomi 18 Ultra in this generation.
