New information has emerged about Xiaomi 18, which is expected to be Xiaomi’s next flagship model. According to a recent leak originating from China, the company plans to introduce the device in September. The information in question reveals some details about the basic technical features of the phone, such as screen size and battery capacity. Accordingly, Xiaomi 18 may come with a larger screen and a significantly increased battery capacity compared to the previous generation.
According to the shared information, Xiaomi 18 will appear before users with a 6.4-inch flat screen. This value slightly exceeds the 6.3-inch screen on Xiaomi 17. Despite this, no change is expected in the screen aspect ratio of the device. The leak shows that Xiaomi will keep the 19.5:9 ratio. The slight increase in screen size is expected to offer a larger viewing area, especially in multimedia consumption and daily use experience.
It is stated that the new model will not be satisfied with just an increase in size on the screen side. Allegedly, Xiaomi 18 will use a “2K” resolution panel. If this information turns out to be true, the device will also offer an upgrade in terms of resolution compared to its predecessor Xiaomi 17. In addition, it is stated that the screen will be surrounded by extremely thin frames and the corners will be more noticeably rounded. Considering the efforts of manufacturers to increase the screen-to-body ratio in recent years, this design approach can contribute to the device looking more modern.
Battery capacity may attract attention in the Xiaomi 18 series
One of the most striking parts of the leak was the information about battery capacity. According to the source, the battery of Xiaomi 18 will have a capacity value starting with 7. The exact figure is not clear yet. However, comments made on China’s social media platform Weibo suggest that the battery capacity can reach 7,800 mAh. Although it is stated that this figure is not confirmed information, there will be a significant increase even if the capacity is at least 7,000 mAh.
To compare, Xiaomi 17 came with a battery with a capacity of 6,330 mAh. Therefore, it is evaluated that the new model can make a serious leap in terms of battery. Recently, especially thanks to Chinese manufacturers turning to silicon-carbon battery technologies, it has become possible to offer higher capacities without significantly increasing the thickness of the devices. It would not be surprising if Xiaomi adopts a similar approach.
On the camera side, the latest leak focuses more on the upper models of the series. According to Digital Chat Station, known as one of the reliable leak sources, 200 megapixel resolution can be used for both the main camera and the telephoto camera in the Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max models. However, no new details have been shared about the camera system of the standard Xiaomi 18.
On the other hand, previously revealed information showed that Xiaomi 18 may also have a 200-megapixel telephoto camera. It was claimed that the main camera would maintain the 50 megapixel resolution used in Xiaomi 17. If this happens, Xiaomi may choose to maintain the current structure on the main camera side while strengthening the telephoto capabilities in the basic model.
Considering that the official launch of the Xiaomi 18 series is only a few months away, it is necessary to remind that all available information is based on leak sources. Despite this, the emerging details indicate that the company is preparing remarkable updates in areas such as screen quality, battery life and camera hardware in its new generation flagships. The technical structure of the series will become clearer with new information that will emerge in the coming period.
