Xiaomi to Unveil 18 Pro Series Flagships in Paris on 17 November
Chinese tech company Xiaomi will present its new Xiaomi 18 Pro flagship smartphone series globally in Paris on 17 November. Leaked data suggests European versions will have smaller batteries than those sold in China.
Chinese technology company Xiaomi has confirmed that the global launch of its latest flagship smartphone line, the Xiaomi 18 Pro series, will take place in Paris on 17 November, starting at 15:00 Latvian time. The series is positioned as a direct rival to Apple's iPhone 18 Pro models, so its arrival in Europe matters to buyers of top-tier devices.
The manufacturer has already published a link to the event's YouTube livestream. Separate product pages have also appeared online, indicating that the devices will come in black, cosmic blue, white and velvet red.
Expected specifications
The global version of the Xiaomi 18 Pro is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 processor, while the more powerful 18 Pro Max should use the even faster Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6. Both devices will run the HyperOS 4 interface.
Leaked data supports earlier rumours that European versions will have smaller batteries than those sold in China. The Xiaomi 18 Pro could get a 6,000 mAh battery with 90 W charging, compared with 7,000 mAh and 100 W in China. The 18 Pro Max battery may be reduced from 8,500 mAh to 7,050 mAh, while keeping 100 W charging.
Price
According to recent leaks, prices for the Xiaomi 18 Pro series in the eurozone will start at around 1,399 euros, putting it in direct competition with the most expensive flagships on the market. Until the official presentation, all specifications and prices remain unconfirmed.
