Xiaomi has launched its latest flagship smartphones, the Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max, in China. The new Pro series combines Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipsets with Leica-branded cameras, large batteries and secondary displays on the rear.
Xiaomi 18 Pro Max is the more premium model, featuring a 6.9-inch OLED display, an 8,500mAh battery and the higher-end Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset.
The standard 18 Pro comes with a 6.4-inch display, a 7000mAh battery and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6.
The rear display is one of the new phones' key features. It can show notifications, provide quick controls and support mini-games and AI-generated cards.
Xiaomi has also introduced a privacy display feature designed to reduce visibility from side angles when viewing sensitive content.
Both phones feature a Leica-tuned triple-camera setup with two 200MP sensors and a 50MP ultra-wide camera. Xiaomi has also confirmed that the 18 Pro series will be available globally, although international pricing and availability details are yet to be announced.
