The alleged global version of the Xiaomi 18 has also been spotted on Europe’s EEC certification database, where it appeared in July 2026.
Xiaomi 18 Series Launch Timeline
Xiaomi has recently launched the Xiaomi 18 Fold in China alongside the Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max. Both devices are powered by Xiaomi’s in-house XRING O3 chip. While the Xiaomi 18 series is expected to debut in China first, some of its models could later be introduced in global markets.
The Chinese smartphone brand is expected to follow a launch strategy similar to the previous Xiaomi 17 series.
Rumours suggest that Xiaomi could first introduce the Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max in China. The standard Xiaomi 18 and Xiaomi 18 Ultra are then expected to be launched together in the company’s home market. The Xiaomi 18 and 18 Ultra could eventually reach global markets soon after their Chinese debut.
As of now, Xiaomi has not officially confirmed the global launch details of the Xiaomi 18 series.
