Xiaomi is finally bringing its latest flagship smartphones to international markets. The brand has confirmed that the global launch of the Xiaomi 18 Pro series will be held sometime in November 2026.
The official Xiaomi X account shared an image confirming the global launch of the Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max. The image shows the back of the smartphone in a close-up shot, showcasing the rear display and the Leica camera setup, along with the text "See you this November".
Although it didn't reveal the exact countries it will cover, the brand could launch it across Europe, the Americas and the Middle East. Xiaomi 18 Pro India launch is confirmed already, so that could happen soon after the global launch.
While the Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max are expected to deliver a familiar experience, a recently surfaced Italian retail listing (via AndroidTreasure) points to a few hardware downgrades to comply with local norms.
For starters, the International variant of the Xiaomi 18 Pro is tipped to house a 6,000mAh battery with 90W charging. That's a noticeable drop from the 7,000mAh and 100W speeds offered in China.
The top-tier 18 Pro Max may also see a capacity reduction from 8,500mAh down to 7,050mAh, though it could retain its 100W fast-charging capabilities.
The core specifications remain largely the same, with an LTPO OLED display and a 120 Hz refresh rate, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset, and a secondary 120 Hz rear AMOLED display. The same goes for optics, with a 200 MP main, 200 MP Periscope telephoto and 50 MP ultrawide snappers.
The leaked retail listing also hinted at steep European pricing, with the base 12 GB + 256 GB of the Xiaomi 18 Pro starting at 1,398 Euros (approx . Rs 1,47,000). The larger Xiaomi 18 Pro Max price could be set at 1,783 Euros (approx. Rs 1,89,000) for the 12 GB + 512 GB variant.
That said, with Xiaomi now teasing the global launch of the Xiaomi 18 Pro series, expect an exact launch date to be revealed soon.
