Xiaomi's Gorgeous New 18 Series Phones With Triple Leica Cameras Will Go Global
The flagships add a 50MP ultrawide, a rear display and a hardware privacy screen, while the Pro Max packs an 8,500mAh battery.
- On Wednesday, September 23, 2026, Xiaomi launched its 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max flagship smartphones in China, featuring dual 200MP Leica-backed cameras, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipsets, and batteries up to 8,500mAh.
- Hardware-Level baffles in Xiaomi's Smart Privacy Display restrict viewing angles to reduce side brightness to roughly 1%, improving on the hardware-based approach pioneered by the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra earlier this year.
- Configurations start at 5,999 CNY for the Xiaomi 18 Pro, while the top-tier Xiaomi 18 Pro Max 16GB/1TB satellite version reaches 10,999 CNY, offering premium storage options.
- Global availability for the 18 Pro series is confirmed for later this year, and the devices include flexible software privacy triggers such as location-aware activation and front-camera shoulder-surfer detection.
- Mimicking professional camera quality, Xiaomi introduced 'Legendary Moment' AI imaging to position the handsets as powerful flagships; while the series skips a U.S. release, the launch intensifies competition among Android flagships globally.
