The Xiaomi 18 Pro and the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max could be available globally very soon, as an Italian retailer has already listed the two flagship smartphones, showing them in Velvet Red for the first time. The online store confirms prices, launch discounts and specs.
European pricing of the Xioami 18 Pro and Xioami 18 Pro Max have been confirmed by a reliable source, and now the Italian online shop Epto has announced three variants available in White, Black and Velvet Red. The latter color is new, the smartphones are sold in Pink color in China. The devices will be on sale at launch, Epto says, at a 10% discount, for the following price:
- Xiaomi 18 Pro 256 GB: €1,399 (instead of €1,549)
- Xiaomi 18 Pro 512 GB: €1,591 (instead of €1,761)
- Xiaomi 18 Pro Max 512 GB: €1,783 (instead of €1,974)
These somewhat uneven prices are not unusual for early retailer listings, as prices are often only adjusted at launch to account for each country’s VAT and rounded accordingly. Indeed, the online store also confirms what rumors have hinted at – Xiaomi is selling the flagship smartphones in Europe with smaller batteries.
The 6.4-inch Xiaomi 18 Pro is expected to come with “only” a 6,000 mAh battery in Europe, which can be charged at up to 90 watts, while the larger 6.9-inch Xiaomi 18 Pro Max is expected to offer a 7,050 mAh battery with 100-watt fast charging instead. Both smartphones have an AMOLED screen with Privacy Display, a 120 fps refresh rate and a maximum peak brightness of 4,000 nits, plus a secondary screen on the back.
Additionally, the processor is slightly different as the Xiaomi 18 Pro is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 whereas the flagship has the more powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6. They each feature a 200 MP f/1.7 main shooter sensor, a 200 MP periscope telephoto sensor and 3.2x zoom, a 50 MP f/2.4 ultra-wide-angle camera and a 50 MP f/2.2 selfie camera.
