Leaked European prices and battery cuts for Xiaomi 18 series

A fresh leak says Xiaomi's next flagship pair will arrive in Europe at premium prices and with smaller batteries than their Chinese counterparts. The report offers specific euro figures for the Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max and details battery ratings and charging limits for the European models.

The Xiaomi 18 Pro is said to land in Europe in two storage trims: 256GB for €1,449 and 512GB for €1,649, with colour options reported as black, Cosmic Blue, Velvet Red, and white. The Xiaomi 18 Pro Max will allegedly be sold only with 512GB of storage, priced at €1,849, a figure the report notes is on par with the iPhone 18 Pro Max recommended retail price in Europe for the same capacity.

Battery changes and charging

According to the leak, the European Xiaomi 18 Pro will carry a battery rated at 6,000 mAh, which may be marketed with a typical capacity of 6,100 mAh, 6,150 mAh, or 6,200 mAh. That represents a reduction from the 7,000 mAh cell used in the Chinese model. The 18 Pro Max is reported to have a 7,050 mAh battery in Europe, likely advertised with a typical capacity of 7,200 mAh, down from the 8,500 mAh unit in the Chinese variant.

Charging specifications are said to change less dramatically. The Xiaomi 18 Pro will reportedly support 90W wired charging in Europe, while the Pro Max should retain 100W wired charging, matching both Chinese versions. Wireless charging is expected to stay at 50W for both models.

The devices' European Energy Labels have been published, which the report treats as a sign that a European launch is imminent.

Those published labels also indicate Xiaomi expects the batteries to retain at least 80 percent of their original capacity after 1,000 full charging cycles.
