The Xiaomi 18 Pro series launched in China in late September. Since then, the company has dialed in the time frame for the global launch – initially, it only confirmed there will be a global launch and later it said that it will be in November. Now we have the exact date.
The Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max will launch for the global market on November 17 (Tuesday next week) with an event in Paris. The event is scheduled for 13:00 UTC and promises “more surprises”.
The Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max global launch will be in Paris on November 17
The event will be live streamed on YouTube and on X.
Xiaomi says: “Xiaomi 18 Pro Series is arriving with the innovative Back Display and Leica Dual-200MP Camera System. Personalization and imaging, pushed to the next level. Two sizes. One refined flagship experience.”
Since the company has confirmed that only the two Pro models are coming, the surprises won’t include the rumored vanilla version or the likely canceled Ultra version. We might get the Xiaomi Watch S5 41mm, which is only available in China for now, though.
PS. Prepare yourself – we expect that the global versions of the Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max will have smaller batteries and high prices.
