Xiaomi 18 latest leak reveals dual 200MP cameras, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipset, and more
Xiaomi 18 Pro series was launched in China last week as the latest flagship phones from the company. Both phones feature the newly launched Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipsets, along with secondary rear displays. Joining the lineup will be the standard Xiaomi 18, whose specs have now leaked online and suggest some major upgrades.

According to Weibo tipster Panda is Bald (translated), the Xiaomi 18 will feature a compact 6.4-inch 1.5K M11 OLED display, similar to the Xiaomi 18 Pro.

The highlight will be the dual 200MP camera setup on the Xiaomi 18. One of these is a telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. The smartphone is also tipped to house a 50MP camera, which will most likely be ultra-wide. This makes for not just a versatile setup but one with strong sensors. The Pro models come with a similar setup but with 3.2x optical zoom support. Still, the Xiaomi 18 is shaping up to be camera-first based on its leaked specifications.
The tipster adds that the Xiaomi 18 will house a 7,200mAh battery with 100W wired and wireless charging support. This is more than what the Xiaomi 18 Pro offers with its 7,000mAh battery.
Xiaomi 18 is said to be released around December, which would mean a China debut followed by a global launch. Although it is the standard model, the Xiaomi 18 is not compromising on the hardware and could sit very close to the 18 Pro but at a more accessible price, giving users more options to choose from. This makes the Xiaomi 18 worth waiting for, especially if you’re looking for a compact flagship with the latest chipset, large battery, and powerful cameras. Xiaomi 17 users may want to compare the upgrades properly before making the jump.
