Xiaomi 18 has appeared on China's 3C certification website, revealing 100W fast charging support. Meanwhile, the Xiaomi 18T could feature a 200MP camera, Dimensity 8600 chipset, 185Hz display and an expected India launch.
It seems like Xiaomi is ready to make some upgrades in its flagship smartphones range with Xiaomi 18 and Xiaomi 18T being talked about before their release. However, while Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max are set to go on sale globally on November 17, the standard Xiaomi 18 is now revealed on China’s 3C certification site, suggesting that its release can happen soon. On the other hand, specifications of Xiaomi 18T were also discovered on the Internet with India launch speculated as well.
According to the most recent certification, it seems like Xiaomi 18 will get support for fast 100W wired charging. Thus, Xiaomi would be able to keep the charging speed of its previous flagship smartphones line the same, allowing it to remain competitive among the rivals. While the information about the battery capacity has not yet been obtained via certification, the rumors state that Xiaomi 18 might boast 7,200mAh capacity of the battery. To give you an idea, Xiaomi 16 has a 7,000mAh battery in China and 6,330mAh battery elsewhere.
Apart from its battery life and charging capabilities, the Xiaomi 18 will also come with improved hardware features. It will likely run on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipset, which is expected to give significant performance improvements over its predecessor. Moreover, its cameras will also see an upgrade in their megapixels as the primary rear camera of the device will likely have a 200MP camera sensor, unlike the 50MP sensor found in its previous variant. It should be noted that these are unconfirmed specs at this time.
On the other hand, the Xiaomi 18T is rumored to bring a decent set of hardware features to a relatively lower tier of the brand's product lineup. Based on the alleged specifications, the smartphone will have a 1.5K flat LTPS OLED panel with a 165Hz or 185Hz refresh rate. As far as its internal hardware goes, the phone will likely feature the Dimensity 8600 chipset designed by MediaTek. Despite being a previous-gen chipset, it is still expected to provide good performance for gaming and multitasking.
Another possible major highlight of the Xiaomi 18T can be the camera department. This smartphone is rumored to come equipped with a 200MP main camera alongside a 50MP ultra-wide camera and 50MP periscope telephoto camera. The front-facing camera is said to be a 32MP sensor. The device is rumored to come equipped with Android 17 and receive an IP69 rating. It may feature an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner as well.
Among the most exciting aspects of the upcoming Xiaomi 18T smartphone is the possibility of its availability in India. Along with other Xiaomi 18 series models, including Pro models, the Xiaomi 18T may become available in India. However, there are some reasons why the Xiaomi 18T will be an excellent choice among all 18 series smartphones for the Indian market.
For now, Xiaomi has not officially revealed the launch dates or specifications of the standard Xiaomi 18 and Xiaomi 18T. The 3C certification does suggest that the standard model is moving closer to its launch, while the leaked specifications provide an early look at what the Xiaomi 18T could offer. Those planning to buy a new Xiaomi flagship may want to keep an eye on these upcoming models, particularly the Xiaomi 18T if it launches in India at a competitive price.
