Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max (global launch)

Xiaomi takes its 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max global at a Paris event on Nov 17, the first time its Pro models leave China.

The Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max launched in China on Sept 23 with dual 200MP Leica cameras, rear displays and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chips (Extreme Gen 6 on the Pro Max). On Nov 2 Xiaomi said on X that the series is 'going global this November', without a date or prices. Last year only the standard Xiaomi 17 left China. European retailer listings point to smaller batteries and prices from about EUR 1,399; see the rumor tracker. Reports suggest India may get only the 18 Pro. Update Nov 3: Xiaomi president Lu Weibing repeated the November timing on Weibo; still no date, markets or prices. Update Nov 9: Xiaomi confirmed the global launch for Nov 17 at an event in Paris at 13:00 UTC, streamed on YouTube and X, promising 'more surprises'. Only the two Pro models are named, so a vanilla 18 or an Ultra is not expected; GSMArena suggests the China-only Xiaomi Watch S5 41mm could appear. Global prices and battery sizes are still unannounced. Update Nov 10: a tipster on X (via GSMArena) says India gets only the 18 Pro, in December, and not the Pro Max; see the rumor tracker.
