Xiaomi 18 leak points to 7200mAh battery and 2nm chip

Leaker @DigitalChatStation claims a mystery company’s 2nm engineering prototype has a 7200mAh battery. Based on their past leaks, that phone is almost certainly the Xiaomi 18.

The same source has been drip-feeding Xiaomi 18 standard edition specs for a while. The phone skips the Pro model’s new display technology, but keeps the same ultra-clear screen, ultra-narrow bezels, and the 2nm flagship processor. It also gets a bigger battery with 100W+ wired and wireless charging, a dual 200MP camera system, ultrasonic fingerprint scanning, IP68-level waterproofing, and a cleaner design.

7200mAh would be a step up from the Xiaomi 17, which launched last September with a 7000mAh cell and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. The 17 packed a 6.3-inch flat display, Corning Gorilla Glass, IP66/68/69 protection, a 1/1.31-inch Light Hunter 950 main camera, plus a 50MP ultrawide and a 50MP telephoto with floating lens.

Xiaomi hasn’t said when the 18 series will arrive. If the 17’s September launch is any indication, we might see it around late summer or early fall.
