Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max Go Global on November 17 in Paris

Xiaomi's 18 Pro series is set to go on sale worldwide after a launch event in Paris on November 17. Reports give the start time as 1 PM UTC, with the event streamed on YouTube and X. The series launched in China on September 23. Reports say the global lineup is the 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max, and that the Ultra model will not be part of this rollout.

What Xiaomi has said

In early November, Xiaomi said the 18 Pro series is going global this month. The November 17 date and the Paris venue come from reports that cite the company's announcements. When we checked, Xiaomi's global newsroom did not list the event, so the date should be treated as reported until Xiaomi publishes it.

What is still unknown

Xiaomi has not published the global specifications, memory options, prices or the list of countries. Reports say pricing and availability will be announced at the event. Until then, the battery figures and prices in circulation come from leaks and retailer listings, and they can change.

The colours

China sells the 18 Pro series in black, white, pink and blue. It also sells a transparent red Special Edition with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. Xiaomi's official website lists three colours for the global lineup: Black, Cosmic Blue and Velvet Red.

What to watch

The official global specifications and prices, the list of markets, and whether the red Special Edition reaches Europe. We will update this story when Xiaomi publishes them. For a full list of what is confirmed and what is reported, read our featured guide to the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max going global.
