Xiaomi Android Rumors

New details about Xiaomi's upcoming compact flagship, the Xiaomi 18, have surfaced ahead of its rumored launch in China this September.

According to tipster Digital Chat Station, the Xiaomi 18 will pack a 7,200mAh battery in China.

That’s only a modest upgrade over the 7,000mAh battery found in the Chinese version of the Xiaomi 17. The global Xiaomi 17, however, shipped with a smaller 6,330mAh battery.

It is, therefore, likely that the global variant of the Xiaomi 18 could feature a smaller battery than its Chinese counterpart.

The Xiaomi 18 is rumored to sport a flat 6.4-inch display with a 2K resolution. It is said to come with a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chip and a triple-rear camera setup with a 200MP telephoto unit.

Sensor doesn't matter. Give me some cheap 12-13Mpix sensor but pair it with a proper GLASS lens and it will take better photos that every single phone on the market.

This image has been around for a while, it was even the supposed Xiaomi 17 render. Highly doubt it's AI and instead it's just photo editing
