Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max Are Launching Globally on November 17

Xiaomi has officially confirmed that the Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max are launching globally next week, on November 17. The launch event will take place in Paris at 13:00 UTC and will be live streamed on YouTube and on X, promising "more surprises". The Xiaomi 18 Pro series launched in China in late September. Since then, the company has dialed in the time frame for the global launch – initially, it only confirmed there will be a global launch and later it said that it will be in November. Now we have the exact date.

Only the two Pro models

Since the company has confirmed that only the two Pro models are coming, the surprises won't include the rumored vanilla version or the likely canceled Ultra version. Xiaomi says: "Xiaomi 18 Pro Series is arriving with the innovative Back Display and Leica Dual-200MP Camera System. Personalization and imaging, pushed to the next level. Two sizes. One refined flagship experience."

What else might appear

We might get the Xiaomi Watch S5 41mm, which is only available in China for now, though. GSMArena also notes its own expectation that the global versions of the Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max will have smaller batteries and high prices — that is the publication's expectation, not a confirmed fact. No prices are given in the article, and no other specifications (chipset, RAM, display size, battery capacity) appear in it.
