Xiaomi 18 Pro Is Coming to India in December — but the 18 Pro Max Isn't Coming at All, Tipster Says

The Xiaomi 18 Pro will launch in India in December, but the 18 Pro Max will not be sold in India at all, tipster Gadgetsdata claims. The duo goes global on November 17 after launching in China in September. The same tipster also leaked purported Xiaomi 18T specs: a Dimensity 8600 chip, a flat 1.5K LTPS OLED display at 165Hz or 185Hz, a 200MP main camera, and IP69 dust and water resistance.

Xiaomi 18 Pro Is Coming to India in December — but the 18 Pro Max Isn't Coming at All, Tipster Says

Xiaomi launched the 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max in China in September, and the company just revealed that the duo will be going global on November 17. For India, though, the news is mixed: the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max will not be sold in India, according to tipster Gadgetsdata on X. And while the Xiaomi 18 Pro will be offered there, it will only be launching in December.

The 18T's purported specs

The same tipster also shared purported specs for the Xiaomi 18T, which will be headed to India too. The 18T is said to run on the MediaTek Dimensity 8600 SoC, with a flat LTPS OLED screen at 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz or 185Hz refresh rate — no screen size is given. It would pair LPDDR5X RAM with UFS 4.1 storage, run Android 17 on board with HyperOS 4, and carry an IP69 rating for dust and water resistance, plus an under-display fingerprint scanner. The selfie camera is said to be 32MP, and the triple rear setup a 200MP main camera, a 50MP ultrawide likely using the Samsung ISOCELL JN5 sensor, and a 50MP periscope telephoto camera. No battery capacity and no charging speed are given for the 18T.

When the 18T could arrive

It is unclear when the 18T should be expected to launch. Its predecessor, the Xiaomi 17T, only got official this May, so it might still be a while. No prices are mentioned for the Xiaomi 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max or 18T.
