Don’t buy the Pro just yet: This smaller, metal flagship could be worth the wait

Credit: Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR The Xiaomi 18 is tipped to run on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 processor and house an unusually large ~7,000mAh battery. In terms of design, the Xiaomi 18 is tipped to feature an expansive camera island, a two-tone metal-splicing rear finish, and fresh color options. The device is rumored to carry a dual 200MP camera configuration, though it will omit the Smart Privacy Display found on the pricier Xiaomi 18 Pro.
