Xiaomi 18 Pro Confirmed for India: Rear Display and 200MP Cameras Are Coming, but There Is No Date or Price Yet

Xiaomi has confirmed that the Xiaomi 18 Pro will launch in India. The company teased the phone as "coming soon" on its India social media account, and a Xiaomi executive confirmed it at Qualcomm's Snapdragon Day event during India Mobile Congress 2026 in New Delhi. Xiaomi has not given a launch date or a price.

What Xiaomi has said

Gautam Batra, who handles product marketing at Xiaomi India, showed the phone at the event with its rear display switched on. He said the Xiaomi 18 Pro takes the experience "further, combining exceptional performance with innovations such as its distinctive back display". The India teaser names only the Xiaomi 18 Pro, with no mention of any other model in the series.

The small second screen on the back was earlier a China-only feature on the Xiaomi 17 Pro, so its arrival in India is a notable change.

What the China version offers

The Xiaomi 18 Pro was unveiled in China in September 2026. Xiaomi has not published the India specifications, so the details below come from reports on the China model and could differ in India.

Feature	Xiaomi 18 Pro (China, as reported)
Main display	6.4-inch 1.5K LTPO OLED, 120Hz
Rear display	About 2.7-inch OLED (reports say 2.66 to 2.7 inches)
Chip	Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6
Rear cameras	200MP main, 200MP telephoto, 50MP ultrawide, tuned with Leica
Selfie camera	50MP
Charging	100W wired, 50W wireless
Battery	Reports differ, from 6,000mAh to 7,000mAh
Connectivity	Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC

The reports also disagree on the camera details and on the name of the software. We will use the official India specifications once Xiaomi publishes them.

Launch date and price in India

Xiaomi has given no date. Tips point to a launch around December 2026, but that is not from Xiaomi, so a November launch looks unlikely. There is no official price either. Some reports expect the phone to cost under Rs 1 lakh, but that is only an expectation, and memory costs could push prices higher.

What about the Pro Max?

Xiaomi's teaser names only the Xiaomi 18 Pro. The Xiaomi 18 Pro Max is not confirmed for India, and one tip says Xiaomi has dropped it from its India plans. The same tip says the 18 Pro will be Xiaomi's only flagship in India this year. Xiaomi has not confirmed either claim.

If you want a Xiaomi flagship today, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra is on sale in India. See our Xiaomi Diwali sale price breakdown for its current price. We will update this post when Xiaomi announces a launch date.
