Xiaomi today officially confirmed that the Xiaomi 18 Pro series will launch this month in China. In a teaser shared on Weibo, the company showed the rear display of the phone with the word “Generating” in the center. 

This could suggest that the rear screen will support AI-generated content directly on the phone, rather than being limited to wallpapers, widgets, or simple shortcuts. The company further says that more details are coming tomorrow. 

Xiaomi has some numbers to back up its decision to keep developing the rear screen feature. According to the company, users interacted with app cards on last year’s rear screen more than 4 million times per day, while more than 3.5 million wallpapers were added to the display every day.

The rear screen on the Xiaomi 17 Pro also gained more features after launch, including live wallpapers and interactive tools. The Xiaomi 18 Pro appears to be building on that idea rather than treating the rear display as a simple design feature.

Xiaomi 18 Pro keeps a familiar design

Nonetheless, the official teaser confirms the phone has a horizontal camera module with a Leica triple-camera setup. The rear display will cover most of the camera module, giving the Xiaomi 18 Pro a look that’s similar to its predecessor.

According to DCS, Xiaomi has made a few smaller changes to the design. The bezels around the rear display could be slightly thinner, while the front punch-hole camera may move to a different position. The phone is also said to feature a new physical button on the frame.

Earlier leaks also claimed that the rear screen could get larger and add a privacy mode, similar to the privacy display technology Samsung shipped with the Galaxy S26 Ultra.

With Xiaomi already confirming a launch this month and the rear screen now being teased, more details about the Xiaomi 18 Pro series should arrive soon.

The post Xiaomi 18 Pro Max Geekbench listing with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro spotted, CPU and GPU scores emerge appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun says September will be a “big month” for the company as new products are lined up one after another. 

According to Lei, the month will begin with the launch of Xiaomi SkyNomad, a family-focused SUV lineup built on the Kunlun platform. The Xiaomi 18 Fold is confirmed to tag along, too. And while Lei doesn’t mention it, it’s likely that we will also see the Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max launching at the same event. The latter two are powered by Xiaomi’s new XRING O3 chip.

The XRING O3 has already made some big claims. It reportedly scored 5.22 million points on AnTuTu, making it the first smartphone chip to cross the 5 million mark. The chip uses a 3nm process and packs 24 billion transistors into a 133mm² design, which is 26% larger than the previous XRING O1.

Its 10-core CPU also scored more than 15,000 points in multi-core testing. And Xiaomi’s new G2-Ultra NX GPU is said to deliver 85% better graphics performance while using 64% less power.

Xiaomi 18 Pro Brings a New Snapdragon Chip

The Xiaomi 18 Pro series will arrive toward the end of September. Its biggest upgrade is expected to be the sixth-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chip. Unlike O3, the Gen 6 will use a newer 2nm process.

The previous generation used a 3nm process, so the move to 2nm is expected to increase transistor density by around 30%. That could bring better performance, lower power use, and more stable performance during longer periods of heavy use.

The Xiaomi 18 Pro series is also expected to support 100W wired charging, the N79 5G band, and UWB connectivity. 

With the Sky Nomad SUVs, Xiaomi’s first foldable phone, and the Xiaomi 18 Pro series all arriving in the same month, September is sure to be the company’s busiest launch period this year.

The post Xiaomi CEO Confirms Separate Launches for Xiaomi 18 Fold and 18 Pro appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi appears to be preparing its next major flagship launch, with the Xiaomi 18 Pro series now moving closer to its expected debut. The latest development has revealed some key connectivity and charging details, while more hardware upgrades are also expected.

Xiaomi 18 Pro series 3C certified

As can be seen above, Xiaomi smartphones carrying model numbers M154FF and M311AD have received China’s 3C certification, with the listing revealing support for 100W wired charging. It appears that the above-mentioned devices are likely part of the Xiaomi 18 Pro series.

These could be the rumored Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max. The previously seen SRRC certifications for these models have revealed support for the N79 5G band and UWB technology.

The Xiaomi 18 Pro series is expected to arrive as the first phones powered by Qualcomm’s next-generation 2nm flagship chipset, reportedly called the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro. The new processor is expected to bring improvements in performance and power efficiency, with the 2nm manufacturing process offering a higher transistor density than the current 3nm generation.

The post Xiaomi 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max receive 3C certification, fast charging speed revealed appeared first on Gizmochina.

In September, Xiaomi is expected to become the first brand to launch flagship phones powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipset. The lineup is likely to include the Xiaomi 18, Xiaomi 18 Pro, and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max. Reports have claimed that, unlike previous generations, the global variants will not take long to arrive.

Traditionally, Xiaomi unveils its flagship phones in China in September, followed by a global launch in the first quarter of the following year. This appears to be changing, as some global Xiaomi 18 models have now received their first certification. At the same time, a new leak has revealed details about the Xiaomi Pad 8s Pro, which is also expected to launch soon in China.

Global Xiaomi 18 series EEC certified

As seen above, two Xiaomi smartphones with model numbers 2609BPN61G and 2611FPNFAG have appeared in the database of Europe’s EEC certification platform. These devices were previously spotted in the IMEI database, where they were believed to belong to the Xiaomi 18 series. However, their official marketing names have yet to be confirmed through the IMEI listings.

The 2611FPNFAG is believed to be the standard Xiaomi 18, while the 2609BPN61G could be the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max. It is also speculated that the Xiaomi 18 Pro may not receive a global release.

While the Xiaomi 17 Ultra was unveiled in December last year, recent reports suggest that the Xiaomi 18 Ultra may have been cancelled. Instead, August could see the debut of the Xiaomi 18 Fold, which is expected to feature a wide foldable design similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 8. However, the foldable is also expected to remain exclusive to the Chinese market.

Xiaomi Pad 8s Pro incoming

According to tipster Bald Panda, the upcoming Xiaomi Pad 8s Pro will feature a 12.5-inch LCD panel with a 3.2K resolution, the Xring O3 chipset, a 12,000mAh battery with 120W charging, a 32-megapixel front-facing camera, and a dual rear camera system comprising a 50-megapixel primary sensor and a 2-megapixel secondary camera.

The Xiaomi 18 Fold is also expected to feature the Xring O3 chip. Therefore, it is likely that both devices may debut together in China next month.

The post Global Xiaomi 18 Pro Max, Xiaomi 18 certified while Xiaomi Pad 8s Pro’s key specs get leaked appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Xiaomi 18 series could arrive in India much earlier than previous flagship generations if a new leak is accurate. The latest information points to a revised launch timeline and a reshuffled lineup, suggesting Xiaomi may be changing its flagship strategy for the Indian market.

Earlier India launch tipped for Xiaomi 18 series

According to information shared by tipster Yogesh Brar through SmartPrix, Xiaomi is planning to bring the Xiaomi 18 series to India in December. If this happens, it would mark a significant shift from the company’s usual schedule, as Xiaomi’s flagship phones have typically reached global markets, including India, during the first quarter of the following year. The report suggests the company wants to position the series during the year-end buying season instead.

The leak also claims the Xiaomi 18 family will consist of three smartphones, namely the Xiaomi 18, Xiaomi 18 Pro, and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max. Interestingly, the report says Xiaomi has cancelled the Xiaomi 18 Ultra, with the Pro Max expected to become the brand’s top-end flagship in its place. This would represent one of the biggest changes to Xiaomi’s premium smartphone portfolio in recent years.

The Xiaomi 18 Pro Max is also said to arrive in limited quantities in India, similar to the strategy Xiaomi previously adopted for its Ultra-branded devices. While the standard and Pro models are expected to be widely available, the flagship Pro Max may target enthusiasts looking for Xiaomi’s highest-end offering.

The report further claims Xiaomi is preparing a broader ecosystem push alongside the Xiaomi 18 series. The company is expected to showcase more Xiaomi-branded smart home appliances and connected products during the December launch event, positioning the Xiaomi 18 lineup as the centre of its expanding ecosystem in India. Xiaomi has not officially confirmed these plans, so the details should be treated as speculation until an announcement is made.

The post Xiaomi 18 series may launch by December in India, Pro Max tipped to replace Ultra appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Xiaomi 18 series is already beginning to surface through leaks months ahead of its expected debut. Recent information from well-known Chinese tipsters points to several upgrades across the lineup, suggesting that Xiaomi may focus on display technology, privacy features and camera improvements for its next-generation flagship phones.

Xiaomi 18 Pro may introduce privacy-focused display technology

According to details shared by tipsters Digital Chat Station and Smart Pikachu, Xiaomi is testing a new flagship Pro model equipped with a next-generation 2K display and integrated privacy protection technology. The feature is said to combine hardware and software solutions to prevent nearby people from viewing on-screen content, offering enhanced protection for messages, passwords and other sensitive information.

While the device was not named directly, speculation points to the Xiaomi 18 Pro. The leak follows reports that Samsung is also exploring similar privacy display solutions for future Galaxy flagship devices, indicating that privacy-focused screens could become a new trend in the premium smartphone segment.

Smart Pikachu recently claimed that the Xiaomi 18 series is currently scheduled to launch in September. The lineup is expected to retain Xiaomi’s secondary rear display concept while introducing a customized 200-megapixel LOFIC main camera. The phones are also tipped to feature displays with larger corner radii, an effective 2K resolution and higher peak brightness compared to the previous generation.

On the software side, the Xiaomi 18 family is expected to run HyperOS 4. Leaks suggest the interface could introduce a new light-inspired visual style while bringing deeper AI integration across applications. Speaking of AI integration, recent reports have revealed that the series will feature a dedicated AI button.

As of now, Xiaomi has not confirmed any of these details. However, if the leaks prove accurate, the Xiaomi 18 series could arrive with one of the biggest display and privacy upgrades seen on a Xiaomi flagship in recent years. What do you think about privacy display technology, and is this the feature you are most excited to see on the Xiaomi 18 Pro?

The post Xiaomi 18 Pro series could offer Samsung-like Privacy Display feature appeared first on Gizmochina.

A fresh leak today revealed the rear camera specs of the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max. The device is rumored to feature a 200MP main and a 200MP telephoto lens. Alongside these camera modules will be a display that Xiaomi first introduced with the Xiaomi 17 Pro and Pro Max. This has already been confirmed. 

A Weibo tipster known as Smart Pikachu has now revealed details about the rear display on the Xiaomi 18 Pro models, and the specifications sound promising.

According to the leak, the Xiaomi 18 Pro will feature a 4-inch rear display, a massive jump from the 2.7-inch secondary screen found on the Xiaomi 17 Pro.

Xiaomi 18 Pro’s rear screen will be a serious upgrade

That alone would be a significant upgrade, but the tipster goes further, claiming the display will offer high brightness, a high pixel density (PPI), large rounded corners, and built-in privacy protection.

If true, it will be a clear evolution from last year’s model. The Xiaomi 17 Pro‘s rear display measured 2.7 inches and featured a resolution of 572 × 904 pixels, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 3,500 nits.

A 4-inch panel would provide significantly more space for features Xiaomi has already introduced on the current model, including live translation, teleprompter mode, and interactive widgets.

Xiaomi is reportedly evolving the rear display into an AI-powered smart window, enabling more dynamic and context-aware interactions rather than serving as a simple auxiliary screen. A larger, brighter display with improved color accuracy would make that vision far more practical.

The Xiaomi 18 series is expected to launch in September, so there is still some time before we receive official confirmation of its hardware specifications.

The new leak suggests that the current engineering samples of the entire Xiaomi 18 series are equipped with a 200-megapixel camera backed by a large 1/1.28-inch sensor. The tipster added that this generation is said to feature a dual 200-megapixel imaging system, described internally as a landmark upgrade for the brand’s camera capabilities.

As per previous reports, the Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max may both sport dual 200-megapixel cameras in their rear setup. These could be used for the primary and periscope telephoto cameras.

The standard Xiaomi 17 has a telephoto camera in its rear camera setup. However, rumors surrounding the Xiaomi 18 suggest that it will be equipped with a periscope telephoto camera. Related rumors also suggest that the Xiaomi 18’s periscope telephoto camera will feature a 200-megapixel sensor.

Speaking of the standard Xiaomi 18, it may arrive with a slight increase in display size, reaching 6.4 inches compared to 6.3 inches on the Xiaomi 17. As far as the chipset is concerned, the Xiaomi 18, 18 Pro, and 18 Pro Max are all expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chip.

Xiaomi is expected to unveil the Xiaomi 18 series in September in China. Initially, the lineup may include the Xiaomi 18, 18 Pro, and 18 Pro Max, followed by the Xiaomi 18 Ultra’s launch by the end of the year. Today, tipster Digital Chat Station shared a Weibo post revealing key details about the Xiaomi 18.

Xiaomi 18 key details tipped

To recall, the Xiaomi 17 and 17 Pro are compact flagship phones equipped with a 6.3-inch display. DCS’s latest leak suggests that the Xiaomi 18’s display size may slightly increase to 6.4 inches while still retaining a compact form factor. It is likely that the Xiaomi 18 Pro may also feature a 6.4-inch display. The inclusion of a larger screen could allow Xiaomi to incorporate more advanced components inside.

Past reports have claimed that the Xiaomi 18 will finally receive a periscope telephoto camera, which would be a major upgrade since its predecessor features a standard telephoto camera. The new leak reveals that not only the Xiaomi 18, but also other models in the series, such as the 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max, and 18 Ultra, may all feature a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera.

The tipster has previously claimed that the Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max will feature dual 200-megapixel cameras, possibly for the primary and periscope telephoto sensors. Speaking of the Pro models, these devices are expected to retain a rear-facing secondary display, but it may be more versatile than before.

Moving to the chipset department, early reports suggest that the Xiaomi 18, 18 Pro, and 18 Pro Max may feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6. Xiaomi may reserve the more advanced and costlier Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro for the Xiaomi 18 Ultra.

The post Xiaomi 18 tipped to feature larger display, 200MP periscope telephoto camera appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last year, Xiaomi unveiled the Xiaomi 18 series in the same month as the first phones powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in China. On the other hand, Vivo introduced the Vivo X300 and X300 Pro as the world’s first phones featuring the Dimensity 9500 chip in China. It appears both brands could once again be among the first to launch flagship phones equipped with next-generation flagship chipsets this year.

September launch window and chipset plans

According to tipster Digital Chat Station, new smartphones powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 series and the MediaTek Dimensity 9600 series are currently scheduled for a September debut. Interestingly, the tip suggests that brands planning to introduce these next-generation chipsets are preparing to offer three versions as standard practice, namely a regular model, a Pro variant, and a Pro Max edition.

To recall, the Xiaomi 17 lineup, which debuted in September 2025, included three models: Xiaomi 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max. These models are likely to be succeeded by the Xiaomi 18, 18 Pro, and 18 Pro Max in the same month this year.

While Vivo announced the Vivo X300 and X300 Pro in September last year, it appears that this year’s lineup may launch earlier and is likely to include three models, such as the Vivo X500, X500 Pro, and X500 Pro Max. Rumors suggest that the X400 branding may be skipped, as the number 4 is considered an unlucky number in some Asian countries.

Readers should note that the tipster has not specified any device names in the leak. The Oppo Find X10 series is also expected to include the Find X10, X10 Pro, and X10 Pro Max powered by the Dimensity 9600. So, it remains unclear whether the tipster was referring to Oppo or Vivo as the other brand alongside Xiaomi. However, in recent years, Vivo has often been the first brand to launch MediaTek’s latest flagship chipsets, so the second brand mentioned in the leak could be Vivo. Readers are advised to treat this information cautiously.

In today’s leak, DCS also cautions that the company expected to debut the new chip in September is unlikely to ship its device with the SM8975, also referred to as the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, as a standard configuration. The reason cited is the extremely high cost of the 2nm chipset, which could significantly impact pricing.

Here, the tipster may be suggesting that Xiaomi will not launch a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro-powered phone in September. Previous leaks have claimed that this chip is designed for ultra-premium devices and is likely to power the Xiaomi 18 Ultra, which may debut by the end of this year in China.

The post Xiaomi 18, Vivo X500: Standard, Pro, and Max models tipped to launch in September appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi is reportedly preparing its next-generation flagship lineup, with early leaks hinting at significant hardware changes for the Xiaomi 18 series. A new leak suggests that imaging capabilities could receive a notable upgrade, particularly for the Pro variants. At present, a 200-megapixel camera is only limited to the Ultra variant, but the new leak reveals that even Pro models will come equipped with it.

Xiaomi 18 Pro series could feature 200-megapixel cameras

According to well-known tipster Digital Chat Station, an upcoming Xiaomi flagship phone equipped with a 6.3-inch display and dual 200-megapixel cameras is in the works. While it appears to be a Xiaomi leak, he has not specified the name of the device.

Based on Xiaomi’s current lineup strategy, both the standard Xiaomi 18 and the Xiaomi 18 Pro are expected to retain a compact form factor like the Xiaomi 17 and 17 Pro. However, major camera enhancements are likely to be reserved for the Pro model. Hence, it can be assumed that the Xiaomi 18 Pro may feature dual 200-megapixel cameras, as per the new leak.

There’s a possibility that Xiaomi may continue mirroring hardware between Pro and Pro Max variants. Similar to how the Xiaomi 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max share siimlar camera systems, the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max may offer the same dual 200-megapixel setup while differentiating itself with different camera sensors, a larger display, and higher battery capacity. A 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens is also expected to complement the main sensors. Both the Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max feature a more versatile secondary display on the back.

DCS has previously claimed that the standard Xiaomi 18 could finally introduce a periscope telephoto camera, replacing the existing telephoto unit with improved optical zoom capabilities.

Across the lineup, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipset is rumored to power Xiaomi 18, 18 Pro, and 18 Pro Max, while the Xiaomi 18 Ultra may adopt a higher-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro variant. The Xiaomi 18 series is expected to debut in China around September, with the Ultra model potentially arriving later in the year.

Xiaomi is currently gearing up to launch the Xiaomi 17 and 17 Ultra globally. Reports have claimed that the Xiaomi 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max will remain exclusive to the Chinese market. Therefore, there is no clarity on whether Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max will be released globally.
