Xiaomi is expected to expand its flagship smartphone lineup with the Xiaomi 18 series later this year. While the company has yet to publicly reveal any details about the purported lineup, the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max has now surfaced on a benchmarking platform. The listing offers an early glimpse at its performance and also sheds light on some of its specifications. The Xiaomi 18 Pro Max could feature Qualcomm's next-generation flagship processor and run Android 17.
The Xiaomi 18 Pro Max has appeared on Geekbench with model number M1544F, which is believed to correspond to its Chinese variant of the handset (via Gizmochina). The listing identifies the chipset as the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, although this name is still tentative. The processor carries the SM8975 model number and has an eight-core configuration.
According to the Geekbench listing, three cores are clocked at 3.74GHz, another three cores run at 4.03GHz, while two performance cores reach up to 5.11GHz. Graphics are handled by Qualcomm's Adreno 850 GPU.
The purported model could be paired with approximately 11.0GB of RAM, which could then be marketed as 12GB of memory. The handset is listed as running Android 17 and could run on the company's next-generation HyperOS skin.
