Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max were launched in China in September as the company's flagship handsets. Following the unveiling of the two handsets, the tech giant teased the launch of the lineup in India. However, the company has yet to reveal the exact launch date. Months after its debut, the India launch details of the Xiaomi 18 Pro have surfaced online. Apart from this, the company is said to be gearing up to launch the Xiaomi 18T in the country. The key specifications and features of the rumoured handset have been leaked, hinting at the presence of a MediaTek Dimensity 8000 series chipset.

Xiaomi 18 Pro to Launch in India in December (Expected)

Citing a tipster, The Tech Outlook reports that the Xiaomi 18 Pro will be launched in India in December. The smartphone is set to be the first Pro model from the company to launch in the country in more than three years. The last Pro model to debut in India was the Xiaomi 13 Pro, which was unveiled in February 2023. The tech giant changed its product strategy for India in the following year, bringing only the standard and the top-of-the-line Ultra models to the country.

It could be powered by the unreleased octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 8600 chipset, along with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.1 onboard storage. The handset will reportedly carry a Leica-tuned triple rear camera system, headlined by a 200-megapixel primary shooter, along with a 50-megapixel ultrawide camera and a 50-megapixel telephoto camera.
