Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max’s periscope telephoto camera will be different | Infinium-tech
Xiaomi is expected to unveil the 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max in September, a year after their predecessors. According to a new rumor from a tipster on the X, both upcoming devices will use the same 200MP periscope telephoto camera.
Interestingly, it will have an 85mm focal length, which is significantly shorter than the 115mm focal length of the 50MP periscope telephoto camera of the 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max. Thus, the output on the 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max will likely be marketed as 3x or 3.5x instead of 5x like the current generation.

Along with the higher-resolution sensor used, Xiaomi will likely also advertise “lossless” digital zoom up to 6x, 7x or even more, and we’re sure marketing will focus on this to placate those asking why there’s suddenly less optical zoom than last year.
The next Xiaomi Pro phone should use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro SoC. The 18 Pro will reportedly have a 6.3-inch screen and a 7,000 mAh or larger battery, while the Pro Max will come with a 6.9-inch display with narrower bezels than its predecessor.
