Fresh details about Xiaomi’s next flagship are beginning to surface, offering an early look at what the company may deliver later this year. A new leak suggests Xiaomi is sticking with proven hardware while making a few meaningful upgrades for its upcoming phone.
According to the source, the Xiaomi 18 will feature a periscope telephoto camera. Reports suggest it will use the same 50MP f/3.0 sensor with 5x optical zoom found on the Xiaomi 17 Pro. This move signals Xiaomi’s focus on consistent camera performance rather than a complete overhaul.
The leak also points to several premium features making their way to the device. Xiaomi 18 is expected to include an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner for faster unlocking. It will also support wireless charging and offer very high dust and water resistance. These additions align with what users now expect from a flagship phone.
On the performance side, Xiaomi 18 will likely run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 processor. However, the exact variant remains unclear. Rumors suggest Qualcomm may release both an 8 Elite Gen 6 and an 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro. Xiaomi could choose the standard version for the base model to manage rising RAM costs.
For now, details about the Xiaomi 18 remain limited. Still, more information should surface in the coming months.
