Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max Prepare for Global Launch with Smaller Batteries

Xiaomi is preparing the international release of the Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max following their domestic debut in China. Both smartphones retain a secondary rear display, dual 200 MP camera systems, and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 processors. Early retail leaks point to smaller battery capacities for international buyers alongside European starting prices near €1400.

Xiaomi confirmed the global models will arrive in 4 colors: white, black, blue, and red. The rear chassis includes a secondary OLED screen positioned next to the camera array. Core specifications carry over from the original models, featuring 1 to 120 Hz OLED panels and an IP69 rating against water and dust. The 18 Pro runs on the standard Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 processor, while the 18 Pro Max uses the Extreme edition of the chip. Photography is handled by 2 separate 200 MP cameras.

Retail listings from Italian merchant Epto reveal that international models will carry smaller batteries than the Chinese editions. The Xiaomi 18 Pro drops to a 6000 mAh battery with 90W charging, down from the 7000 mAh capacity and 100W speed found on the original version. The 18 Pro Max decreases from 8500 mAh to 7050 mAh while retaining 100W wired charging.

Pricing data from Epto lists the Xiaomi 18 Pro at €1400 for the 12/256GB storage configuration and €1592 for the 12/512GB option. The top tier 18 Pro Max with 12/512GB appears with a price tag of €1784. Official confirmation of these regional specifications will arrive during the scheduled Paris launch stream on YouTube.
