Xiaomi will officially unveil its Xiaomi 18 Pro series on September 23, according to an announcement made by the company. The lineup includes the 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max models, which feature touch-enabled rear screens embedded within the camera module, backed by a dedicated artificial intelligence infrastructure. According to the company, users can leverage this AI to create custom mini-applications for the secondary displays.
Xiaomi 18 Pro Max Battery and Display Specs
The top-tier 18 Pro Max model will pack an 8,000 mAh battery and support 100W fast charging, according to prior leaks. The device is expected to feature a flat 144 Hz OLED screen. For imaging, it may house a 200-megapixel LOFIC wide-angle camera alongside a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto lens. Meanwhile, Teknoblog reports that the standard 18 Pro will run on the standard Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chip, while the 18 Pro Max will upgrade to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro platform.
Weibo Video Teases Camera and Design Layout
Xiaomi released a short video on Weibo showcasing the initial official look of the new phones, highlighting a refined version of the rear screen seen on previous models like the Xiaomi 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max. Teknoblog notes that the triple camera system retains a familiar layout, placing two lenses inside a large rectangular module while keeping the third sensor outside. Additionally, Xiaomi may introduce a “Privacy Display” feature on the Pro models—similar to Samsung’s setup on the Galaxy S26 Ultra—which dims viewing angles to protect personal information from onlookers, though local availability for Turkey remains unconfirmed.
Pro Tip: Keep an eye on official manufacturer announcements for confirmed charging capacities and regional launch dates, as certification leaks often precede official specification adjustments.
