Xiaomi 18 Pro Series Global Launch Teased for November 2026; Battery Capacities and Pricing Revealed

Xiaomi has begun teasing its latest flagship smartphone, the Xiaomi 18 Pro series, ahead of its global launch this November, after debuting in China in September. Shortly after the China launch, the company confirmed that the smartphones would make their way to global markets later in 2026. The lineup is expected to arrive in Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East later this month.

Ahead of the global release, the smartphones have appeared on an Italian retail website, revealing some differences in battery capacity compared to their Chinese counterparts. The global Xiaomi 18 Pro is listed with a 6,000mAh battery and 90W fast charging, down from the 7,000mAh battery and 100W charging offered in China. Similarly, the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max is expected to feature a 7,050mAh battery instead of the 8,500mAh unit in the Chinese variant, while retaining 100W charging support.

Both smartphones are expected to retain their key hardware features, including an LTPO OLED display with a 1–120Hz adaptive refresh rate, a secondary 120Hz AMOLED display, and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 processor. The camera setup is expected to include a 200MP primary sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide camera with a 102° field of view, and a 200MP 5x periscope telephoto camera. The devices are also expected to offer IP69-rated dust and water resistance.
