Xiaomi is reportedly working on its next flagship smartphone, the Xiaomi 18 Pro. Early leaks are already pointing to some major upgrades, as the tipster from China referred to the device as a “small-screen flagship.” While the device name is not mentioned, it is believed to be the Xiaomi 18 Pro, as the Pro Max variant is expected to come with a larger display. Here’s what we know.

Xiaomi 18 Pro Could Bring Dual 200MP Cameras

image

Tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo. (Translated via Google Translate)

According to tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, a prototype of the upcoming smartphone is said to include a battery capacity of 7,000mAh or even higher.

The leak also highlights major camera improvements. The Xiaomi 18 Pro is tipped to feature a 200-megapixel primary rear camera along with a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto lens.

Interestingly, the same tipster had previously mentioned this dual 200MP setup indicating a significant upgrade over the triple 50-megapixel camera system found on the Xiaomi 17 Pro. If this information turns out to be accurate, the device could become one of the few compact flagship smartphones to offer both a 200-megapixel main sensor and a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera.

Xiaomi 18 Pro – What Else We Know?

Apart from the camera and battery upgrades, the Xiaomi 18 Pro is also expected to include an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, support for wireless charging, and full water resistance.

For comparison, the current Xiaomi 17 Pro series comes with an IP68 rating for dust and splash resistance and the upcoming model is likely to continue or improve upon this level of protection.

Earlier leaks suggest that the Xiaomi 18 lineup including the Xiaomi 18, Xiaomi 18 Pro, and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max could be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 6 series.

The standard Xiaomi 18 is expected to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipset, instead of the more premium Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro variant, likely to keep costs in check.

All these details are based on leaks and not officially confirmed. We can expect Xiaomi would reveal more details closer to the actual launch.

FAQs

Q1. What battery capacity is the Xiaomi 18 Pro expected to feature?

Answer. Leaks suggest the Xiaomi 18 Pro could include a massive 7,000mAh battery or even higher, making it one of the largest in its segment.

Q2. What camera setup is tipped for the Xiaomi 18 Pro?

Answer. The device is rumoured to feature dual 200MP cameras, a primary sensor and a periscope telephoto lens, an upgrade from the Xiaomi 17 Pro’s triple 50MP system.

Q3. What other features are expected in the Xiaomi 18 Pro?

Answer. It may include an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, wireless charging, full water resistance, and run on Snapdragon 8 Gen 6 series processors.

Apple has updated its list of vintage and obsolete products, adding two older iPhone models to the obsolete category. The iPhone 5 and the 8GB variant of the iPhone 4 have now officially been classified as obsolete devices.

Both models were previously listed as vintage but have now transitioned to the obsolete category as per Apple’s product lifecycle policy.

iPhone 5 Moves From Vintage to Obsolete

The iPhone 5 was originally launched in 2012 and was discontinued a year later in 2013 following the arrival of the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c.

Apple added the iPhone 5 to its vintage products list in 2018, after which repair support became limited and dependent on parts availability. With its move to the obsolete category, repair services for the device will now be largely unavailable.

The iPhone 5 introduced a refreshed design featuring a glass and aluminium body, a taller 4-inch display, support for LTE connectivity, and the debut of Apple’s Lightning port, which replaced the older 30-pin connector.

8GB iPhone 4 Also Added to Obsolete List

Alongside the iPhone 5, Apple has also marked the 8GB variant of the iPhone 4 as obsolete. This model was first introduced in 2011 and was discontinued in 2013.

Both the iPhone 5 and the 8GB iPhone 4 continued to be sold as affordable options in emerging markets even after being phased out in the United States.

With this update, both devices have now reached the end of their official support lifecycle. This means users should not expect repair services or spare parts availability from Apple going forward.

What Apple’s ‘Obsolete’ Category Means?

Apple categorises a device as “vintage” when it has been more than five years since it was last available for sale. A product is considered “obsolete” once it crosses the seven-year mark, although the company may sometimes extend these timelines.

For vintage products, Apple Stores and authorised service providers may still offer repairs, provided the required components are available. However, once a device is marked obsolete, it typically becomes ineligible for repairs and Apple stops supplying spare parts.

FAQs

Q1. Which iPhone models have Apple recently marked as obsolete?

Answer. Apple has classified the iPhone 5 and the 8GB variant of the iPhone 4 as obsolete devices.

Q2. What does it mean when an iPhone is marked obsolete?

Answer. Once a device is obsolete, Apple and its authorized service providers stop offering repairs and spare parts, making official support unavailable.

Q3. Why did the iPhone 5 and 8GB iPhone 4 move from vintage to obsolete?

Answer. Apple categorises products as vintage after five years of discontinuation and obsolete after seven years. Both models have now crossed the seven-year mark.

Built on the understanding that better visual environments lead to better thinking, the 28-inch 3:2, 120Hz, 4K+ RD280UG is engineered to reduce visual fatigue, enhance readability, and help developers maintain deep focus across long coding sessions.

Rather than being just another display, RD280UG is designed as a productivity companion that supports sustained mental flow and precision work.

India’s developer community is one of the most dynamic and resilient in the world, often working long hours across complex stacks and fast-moving projects,” said Rajeev Singh, Managing Director, BenQ India.

With RD280UG, our goal was simple to remove everyday visual barriers that slow developers down. From reducing eye fatigue to improving text clarity and minimizing distractions, RD280UG helps developers stay immersed in their work and perform at their best for longer.”

RD280UG Features & Specifications

Designed to Help Developers Stay Focused and Productive

At the core of RD280UG is a commitment to making code easier to read and workflows easier to manage.

The 3:2 Aspect Ratio Nano Matte Panel minimizes reflections and glare, ensuring consistent clarity across different lighting conditions so developers can focus without distraction.

BenQ’s intelligent Coding Modes adapt the display to different visual preferences and workflows.

Whether working in dark themes, light themes, or switching between environments, developers experience optimized contrast and readability that reduces strain and speeds up scanning and debugging.

Paper Color Mode offers a softer visual experience for moments when eyes need relief, supporting longer, more comfortable sessions.

With a 120Hz refresh rate and a 3:2 aspect ratio, developers can scroll smoothly through large codebases and view more lines of code at once, improving context awareness and reducing interruptions.

Enhanced contrast and pixel clarity ensure sharper characters and clearer syntax differentiation, helping developers process information faster.

Built for Comfort During Long and Late Coding Sessions

Recognizing that coding often extends beyond traditional work hours, RD280UG integrates features designed to support developers throughout the day and night.

MoonHalo bias lighting creates balanced ambient illumination that reduces contrast strain, while Night Hours Protection minimizes eye fatigue during low-light usage.

Flexible ergonomics including rotation, auto pivot, and height adjustments allow developers to customize their setup for comfort and posture.

Intelligent eye-care technologies automatically optimize brightness and color temperature, helping reduce cumulative strain and supporting long-term visual wellness.

The result is a monitor that helps developers maintain energy, reduce fatigue, and stay mentally sharp during demanding workloads.

Supporting Real-World Developer Workflows

RD280UG is designed to integrate seamlessly into diverse development environments with compatibility across macOS, Windows, and Linux.

A dedicated Coding Hotkey enables quick adjustments to display settings without interrupting workflow, allowing developers to stay focused without navigating complex menus.

By prioritizing readability, reducing visual noise, and simplifying adjustments, RD280UG enables uninterrupted thinking, faster debugging, and deeper immersion, helping developers focus on solving problems rather than managing their screen.

Advancing the Future of Developer Experience

With RD280UG, BenQ continues its commitment to designing technology that supports the people behind innovation.

By focusing on real user needs, clarity, comfort, and focus, the company aims to help developers work more efficiently while protecting long-term visual health.

RD280UG represents a shift in how displays are designed: not just as tools for viewing content, but as environments that actively support better thinking and better work.
