Following its initial debut in China back in late September, the Xiaomi 18 Pro series is finally gearing up for its international release. Xiaomi had previously teased a global rollout and later narrowed it down to November — and now the official launch date has been locked in.
The Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max will make their global debut at an event in Paris on November 17
Fans around the world will be able to follow along, as the launch event will be streamed live on YouTube as well as on X.
Teasing the upcoming flagships, Xiaomi stated: "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."
Xiaomi has confirmed that only the two Pro models will be heading to international markets, meaning there will be no sign of the rumored standard variant or the reportedly scrapped Ultra model at the event. However, there is a chance we could see the Xiaomi Watch S5 41mm, which remains exclusive to China for the time being.
PS. A word of caution — the global editions of the Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max are expected to arrive with reduced battery capacities and steeper price tags.
