Xiaomi is reportedly preparing to bring the Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max to European markets with new information revealing their prices, colour options, battery capacities, and storage configurations in France. Both smartphones are expected to retain the rear OLED display, camera setup, and processors available on their Chinese counterparts but with smaller batteries and some changes to charging speeds.
Xiaomi 18 Pro Could Come in Velvet Red, Cosmic Blue, Black and White
According to the latest report, the Xiaomi 18 Pro will be available in four colour options in Europe including Black, White, Velvet Red, and Cosmic Blue. The burgundy shade will be marketed as Velvet Red, while Cosmic Blue could be exclusive to Xiaomi’s Mi Store.
The Cosmic Blue variant is also expected to be slightly thicker than the other colour options. It will reportedly measure 8.56mm in thickness, compared with the standard variants.
Will the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max Get the Same Colours?
The Xiaomi 18 Pro Max is also expected to launch in Black, White, Velvet Red, and Cosmic Blue in Europe. Like the standard Pro model, the Cosmic Blue variant could be available exclusively through the Mi Store.
The blue version of the Pro Max is tipped to measure 8.47mm in thickness, making it slightly thinner than the corresponding blue variant of the Xiaomi 18 Pro.
For comparison, the Chinese models are available in Black, White, Ice Peach Pink, and Galaxy Blue, along with a transparent red edition. The European lineup will therefore have a different selection of colours.
