Xiaomi 18 will offer a great telephoto lens. We also know details about the display and performance

Xiaomi hasn’t even managed to bring the current Xiaomi 17 series to Europe yet, and rumors about its successor are already circulating online. The well-known Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station revealed several details on Weibo about the upcoming Xiaomi 18, which is expected to arrive in the autumn.

Larger display and better zoom

According to the leak, the Xiaomi 18 should feature a 6.4″ display, which would represent a slight increase compared to the 6.3″ panel on the Xiaomi 17. The larger diagonal is said to provide space for improved components, including a larger battery. The main attraction is expected to be a 200Mpx periscope telephoto lens, which all models in the series, including the Pro, Pro Max, and Ultra versions, should boast.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, but not Pro

The base Xiaomi 18 is expected to be powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6. The more powerful Pro variant is reportedly too expensive, so Xiaomi will reserve it for the 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max models. The most advanced chip could then go into the Xiaomi 18 Ultra, which traditionally arrives several months later.

But first, Xiaomi 17

It’s still early for Xiaomi 18 speculations, as Xiaomi is only just preparing to launch the Xiaomi 17 series on the European market. Along with it, the Xiaomi Pad 8 tablets and the global version of the Xiaomi Watch 5 smartwatches are also expected to arrive, about whose features we were the first in the world to report.
