  "account": "A major setback looms for buyers of the Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max, as reports suggest the global versions may have reduced battery capacities. Kacper Skrzypek, a tipster, claims HyperOS code indicates the international Xiaomi 18 Pro will have a 6,000mAh battery, a 1,000mAh decrease compared to the 7,000mAh battery in the Chinese model. Similarly, the global Xiaomi 18 Pro Max could feature a 7,050mAh cell, down from the 8,500mAh battery in the Chinese version. While the global 18 Pro Max would still have a larger battery than the Chinese 18 Pro, the reductions still represent significant capacity cuts. These cuts aren't unique to Xiaomi; previous international versions of the Xiaomi 17 and Xiaomi 17 Ultra saw similar reductions in battery size. The reasons behind these reductions remain unclear, though transportation regulations for lithium-ion batteries in certain regions have been speculated. With global launch details still pending, the exact impact of these battery cuts on the Xiaomi 18 series remains to be seen.",
