Xiaomi 18 Pro global launch in November 2026, Europe prices still unconfirmed

Xiaomi’s 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max may reach Europe at suggested prices €50 lower than earlier estimates, according to a leak published on 23 October 2026 by the French informant billbil-kun. The cut applies to all four memory configurations of the two phones, which make up the new Xiaomi 18 family.

Before this revision, informant Sudhanshu Ambhore had projected higher starting prices for the European launch. Both models come with 12 GB of RAM and either 256 GB or 512 GB of storage, and the €50 reduction equals about R$296 in direct conversion.

Price per model and storage in the leaked European list

• Xiaomi 18 Pro, 12 GB RAM and 256 GB: €1,399 (about R$8,268), down from €1,449 (about R$8,564)
• Xiaomi 18 Pro, 12 GB RAM and 512 GB: €1,599 (about R$9,450), down from €1,649 (about R$9,744)
• Xiaomi 18 Pro Max, 12 GB RAM and 256 GB: €1,599 (about R$9,450), down from €1,649 (about R$9,744)
• Xiaomi 18 Pro Max, 12 GB RAM and 512 GB: €1,799 (about R$10,632), down from €1,849 (about R$10,926)

Prices from a different source already appear in retail channels. The Italian retailer Epto listed the 18 Pro 256 GB at €1,398.90 and the Pro Max 512 GB at €1,783.90, figures that sit below the leaked values. Retailers often use irregular prices, so these numbers are not the official tag.

Battery cuts and charging limits for the European models

The European versions have smaller batteries than the Chinese units. Those figures appear in the database of EPREL, the European Union registry for energy labelling, which tests battery autonomy and durability under standard procedures in the bloc. The label also states that each battery keeps at least 80% of its original capacity after 1,000 full charge cycles.

• Xiaomi 18 Pro: 6,000 mAh in Europe, against 7,000 mAh in China, with estimated autonomy of 66 hours and 30 minutes
• Xiaomi 18 Pro Max: 7,050 mAh in Europe, against 8,500 mAh in China, with estimated autonomy of 70 hours and 40 minutes
• Wired charging: 90 W on the European 18 Pro, against 100 W in China; 100 W kept on the Pro Max
• Wireless charging: 50 W on both models
• Weight: 199 g for the 18 Pro and 231 g for the 18 Pro Max, 4 g less than the Asian versions because of smaller cells

Xiaomi has confirmed that the European units keep the camera system developed with Leica and the Snapdragon 8 processors. The two leaked lists disagree on colours. The French leak points to black, white and Burgundy, plus a blue sold only in the Mi Store in France. The Sudhanshu Ambhore listing names black, white, Cosmic Blue and Velvet Red.

How the leaked prices compare with the Xiaomi 17 line

Even with the €50 cut, the new family costs more in Europe than the previous generation. The Xiaomi 17 reached the continent at €999 in the 256 GB version and €1,099 in the 512 GB version, while the Xiaomi 17 Ultra with 16 GB of RAM sold for €1,499.

With the apparent cancellation of a Xiaomi 18 Ultra in this generation, the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max becomes the most expensive model in the line. The €50 gap between the two leaks may come from tax rates that differ across European Union countries, such as the higher rates charged in Portugal compared with France.

Xiaomi confirms November launch, but no date or prices yet

The Xiaomi 18 Pro series was unveiled in China on 24 September 2026. On 2 November 2026, the company confirmed on its official X account that the models will launch worldwide in November, targeting Europe, the Americas and the Middle East. The post gave no specific date, no list of countries and no official prices.

Unofficial sources point to 17 November as the launch day, but Xiaomi has not confirmed it. For South America, the company’s own video suggests sales will not start before December 2026. For Brazil, there is still no forecast of arrival and no official price.
