Xiaomi 18 Pro series leak reveals painful global price
Xiaomi's global pricing might make last year's Ultra look like pocket change.
The Xiaomi 18 Pro series leak has unveiled a concerning aspect of the global pricing for these flagship devices. It appears that the European launch prices for the Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max might be steeper than initially anticipated.
According to the European Product Registry for Energy Labeling (EPREL), the Xiaomi 18 Pro will be equipped with a 6,000mAh battery, while the larger 18 Pro Max will house a 7,050mAh unit. While these battery sizes are still impressive for flagship phones, they are notably smaller compared to their Chinese counterparts.
The leak suggests that the Xiaomi 18 Pro could start at a price of €1,449, just €50 below last year's Xiaomi Ultra. This pricing strategy places the 18 Pro dangerously close to Ultra territory, potentially making it competitively priced but still a significant investment for consumers. The Xiaomi 18 Pro Max is expected to cost €1,849.
Overall, while the Xiaomi 18 Pro series boasts impressive battery life, the global price point could be a concern for potential buyers, especially when compared to the pricing of last year's model.
