Redmi Note 18 Surfaces in 3C Certification With 67W Charging as Pro Max Battery Tip Emerges

Xiaomi looks to be moving fast on the successor to its Redmi Note 17 lineup. A new Xiaomi phone believed to belong to the upcoming Redmi Note 18 series has passed China's 3C certification, and the listing points to 67W wired charging — the first concrete trace of the next generation to surface in public records.

The sighting comes only a few months after Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 17 series, so the Note 18 remains at a very early stage. Nothing about it has been confirmed by Xiaomi, and the certification filing itself does not even carry the Redmi Note 18 name. What it does carry is a model number, a charging figure, and a tipster's reading of what they mean.

What the 3C listing actually shows

Tipster Digital Chat Station shared a screenshot on Weibo showing a Xiaomi device with the model number M841EE listed on China's 3C certification website. According to the listing, the phone supports 67W wired charging. The tipster believes the device is part of the Redmi Note 18 series, and notes that three models from the lineup have received certification so far.

That last detail matters. A 3C listing is a regulatory step every phone sold in China must clear before it reaches shops, so its appearance suggests the Note 18 family is real and already moving through the paperwork. It does not, by itself, confirm a launch date or a single specification beyond the charging speed on this one filing.

Which model carries the M841EE number?

Digital Chat Station did not say which of the three certified models carries the M841EE number. The leading guess is the Redmi Note 18 Pro: its predecessor, the Redmi Note 17 Pro, also shipped with 67W wired charging, so the figure lines up neatly with the mid-tier model rather than the base phone or the top variant.

For comparison, the current lineup charges at different speeds across its range. The standard Redmi Note 17 5G supports 45W wired charging, the Note 17 Pro supports 67W, and the top-end Note 17 Pro Max supports 100W. A 67W figure on the new filing therefore reads as continuity for the Pro model, not a leap forward — at least for whichever handset this listing belongs to.

The Pro Max battery claim

The more eye-catching claim concerns the top of the range. According to Digital Chat Station, the Redmi Note 18 Pro Max will pack a large 10,000mAh battery. That figure is a tip, not a certification detail, and should be treated as unconfirmed until Xiaomi says so.

It is worth noting what that number would mean in context. The current Redmi Note 17 Pro Max already carries a 10,000mAh battery, so the claim suggests the capacity would carry over to the next generation rather than grow. The Note 17 Pro, by contrast, uses a smaller 8,340mAh silicon-carbon cell. If the tip proves accurate, battery size may be an area where the Pro Max holds steady while other parts of the phone change.

What we still do not know

Almost everything else. There is no confirmed launch date, no pricing, no chipset, no camera detail and no official model list. Digital Chat Station also claims Redmi is planning to launch several new products ahead of the Chinese Lunar New Year, but no dates or product names have been attached to that claim.

Certification listings usually appear weeks before a launch, so more filings and leaks are likely to follow in the coming weeks. Until Xiaomi announces the series, the charging speed on this one listing is the only verified fact — and even the link between the M841EE model number and the Redmi Note 18 name rests on a tipster's reading, not on the filing itself.
