Summary
By the end of September 2026, Xiaomi plans to launch the 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max and 18 Fold, making the month the centerpiece of its flagship rollout.
The 18 Fold will lead the push as the first device with Xiaomi’s XRING O3 AI processor, while the Mi Pad 9 Pro Max will use the same chip in the tablet lineup.
The standard Xiaomi 18, codenamed Venice, is being held back until December 2026 or early January 2027, signaling Xiaomi is prioritizing Pro and foldable models first.
India is expected to get only the Pro variants rather than the full family, while Xiaomi also plans to revive a transparent edition design last seen on older premium models.
