Xiaomi 18 won’t have Qualcomm’s top next-gen chipset | Infinium-tech
In September, Qualcomm is rumored to unveil the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, with the latter being the company’s new top dog in the smartphone SoC space by 2027.
Now a new rumor from China claims that the Xiaomi 18 will use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and not the Pro version of the SoC, as the Elite Gen 6 Pro is apparently going to be too expensive. As said, the Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max will likely come with the Pro chipset.

Xiaomi will reportedly unveil its next flagship family in September, right after Qualcomm makes the new chips official, in the latest installment of the two companies’ long-running agreement that gives Xiaomi a discount on Qualcomm’s latest top chips (even though the exclusivity doesn’t actually last that long).
A previous rumor from last month claimed that the Xiaomi 18 would have a periscope telephoto camera, likely the same 50MP one with an f/3.0 aperture that the Xiaomi 17 Pro uses today.
