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.

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.
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.
