The Xiaomi 18 series is expected to debut as the first smartphones powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro.
The lineup will likely include three models: the Xiaomi 18, Xiaomi 18 Pro, and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max.
The standard and Pro models are anticipated to be compact devices, while the Pro Max will serve as the large-screen flagship.
Tipster Digital Chat Station has shared exclusive details about the camera hardware of this top-tier model.
Camera Specifications
According to the leak, the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max will pack a 200MP main camera with a large 1/1.28-inch sensor.
It will feature next-generation LOFIC technology, which improves dynamic range in challenging lighting conditions.
The telephoto setup is equally impressive.
The engineering sample reportedly includes a 200MP 1/1.56-inch telephoto sensor with a 3x± focal length and an F2.4± aperture.
It supports close-up, telephoto, and macro photography. Both the sensor and lens assembly have been completely redesigned.
Other Expected Features
Previous reports indicate the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max will have a 6.9-inch flat display, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset, and a battery capacity of around 8,500mAh with 100W wired fast charging.
It is also likely to support 50W wireless charging.
On the software side, it is expected to ship with HyperOS 4 based on Android 17.
Design-wise, the device is expected to continue the rear-display concept from the previous generation, evolving into an AI-powered smart window for dynamic interactions.
The Xiaomi 18 series is expected to launch in September 2026.
