Xiaomi has confirmed that the Xiaomi 18 Pro series will launch globally this November. The company announced it on its official X account on November 2, its first official word on global timing. The post doesn’t give a launch date, a list of markets or prices.
Xiaomi’s official account posted: “Xiaomi 18 Pro Series is going global this November.” It also asked followers which market they were most excited about. The attached teaser repeats the November message and carries the series’ Leica co-engineering branding.
Xiaomi 18 Pro global prices: what a retailer listing shows
Until Xiaomi announces prices, the clearest hint is a listing from Italian retailer Epto, reported by GSMArena on October 26. These are a retailer’s figures, not Xiaomi’s, and they could change before launch.
- Xiaomi 18 Pro, 12GB/256GB: €1,398.90
- Xiaomi 18 Pro, 12GB/512GB: €1,591.90
- Xiaomi 18 Pro Max, 12GB/512GB: €1,783.90 (€1,761.90 for the white and Velvet Red versions, per GSMArena)
Those prices undercut the leak we covered on October 20. That report put the 18 Pro at €1,449 for 256GB and €1,649 for 512GB, with the Pro Max at €1,849. The two sets differ by €50 to €65 per model, and neither is official.
For context, vivo’s X500 Pro series starts at €1,399 in Germany.
What we know so far
Both phones launched in China in September 2026. The 18 Pro Max runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6. A global Pro Max model has already shown up on Geekbench AI with 12GB of RAM.
The Epto listing also repeats the smaller global batteries from our earlier report. It shows 6,000mAh for the 18 Pro and 7,050mAh for the Pro Max, down from 7,000mAh and 8,500mAh in China. If that holds, buyers outside China would pay European flagship prices for less battery, and no explanation from Xiaomi has surfaced.
The listing shows Black, White and Velvet Red. GSMArena notes that the pink and blue colours sold in China are missing.
FoneArena expects the global rollout to cover Europe, the Americas and the Middle East. Xiaomi has not named any markets yet, and its announcement doesn’t mention India.
