Xiaomi has not yet released the global Xiaomi 17 series, but rumors about the next-generation Xiaomi 18 series are already circulating. A new leak suggests that the standard Xiaomi 18 could bring long-awaited upgrades to the company’s flagship lineup.
According to Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station, the Xiaomi 18 series may include several high-end features across all models. These could include:
- A periscope telephoto camera with up to 5x optical zoom (up from 2.6x on Xiaomi 17).
- 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.
- Wireless charging.
- High-level waterproofing.
The addition of a periscope lens on the standard model would make it a more versatile all-round device, bringing flagship-level photography to a wider audience.
Xiaomi executives have also hinted at upgrades for the Pro model. Wang Le, director of Xiaomi’s application software department, mentioned that the back screen on the upcoming phone (likely Xiaomi 18 Pro) will remain, despite rumors about high development costs.
The series is also expected to use the new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 processor, offering top-tier performance.
Since the Xiaomi 18 launch is still months away, these details are unconfirmed and may change. Fans should treat early leaks with caution.
