Xiaomi 18 Ultra Cancelled: 3 200MP Cameras Lost in 2026
The canceled flagship would have packed three 200MP cameras and 12GB of RAM, but Xiaomi reportedly saw its CNY 10,000 price as unsustainable.
- Xiaomi 18 Ultra was canceled, ending the Ultra moniker for its top-tier lineup this year, according to a recent leak from leaker Digital Chat Station.

- The phone would have included a flagship chipset scoring over 500 million on benchmarks, paired with 12GB of RAM and a 200MP main camera alongside ultrawide and periscope telephoto lenses.
- Had the 18 Ultra launched at CNY 9,999, pricing could have reached €1,899 in Europe, a steep jump from the previous model's €1,499 launch price at CNY 6,999 .
- Digital Chat Station reported the canceled model would have featured a multispectral lens and magnetic external lens, resembling attachments seen on competing flagship phones like the X300 Ultra.
