Xiaomi 18 camera rumors spark excitement

Recent leaks surrounding the upcoming Xiaomi 18 series have sparked immense excitement, particularly with the rumored addition of 200MP cameras across multiple models.

• The base Xiaomi 18 could feature a 50MP + 50MP + 200MP camera setup.
• The Xiaomi 18 Pro and Pro Max might boast even more impressive 200MP + 50MP + 200MP configurations.
• The top-of-the-line Xiaomi 18 Ultra could sport a 200MP primary sensor.

Snapdragon 8 elite gen 6 and 7,000mah battery

According to tipster Debayan Roy, three out of four Xiaomi 18 models could be powered by the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 processor, while all four devices may come equipped with a massive 7,000mAh battery.

Expected price hike

Given the premium specs, a price increase for the Xiaomi 18 series appears likely. The previous Xiaomi 17 lineup started at 4,449 yuan (~$645) and reached 6,999 yuan (~$1,013) for the Ultra model. European prices for the 17 Ultra have even been rumored to start at a whopping €1,499.

With the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset reportedly featuring the high-demand LPDDR6, costs for the Pro variant are expected to be exceptionally high. This could result in a significant price increase for the Xiaomi 18 Ultra and possibly the entire series.

Conclusion

Despite the expected price hike, the Xiaomi 18's impressive specs, particularly the rumored 200MP cameras, make it an enticing prospect for many fans. With the added bonus of a powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 processor and 7,000mAh battery, this upcoming flagship series is shaping up to be a winner.
