Lu Weibing shows off the new color of the Xiaomi 18 Pro
Fast Technology reported that Lu Weibing, President of Xiaomi Group, announced that the Xiaomi 18 Pro series will officially launch in Europe on November 17th. At the same time, he also revealed the new color scheme of the international version of the Xiaomi 18 Pro, which sparked heated discussions among netizens.
Judging from the leaked images, the new color scheme features a highly recognizable burgundy tone with a distinctive overall texture, quite similar to the Nishino Red color scheme of the mid-folding flagship Xiaomi 18 Fold. Many netizens praised its outstanding appearance in the comments section, while others inquired whether this color scheme would also be available in the Chinese version.
Aside from the changes in appearance, the biggest highlights of the Xiaomi 18 Pro series remain the rear screen and imaging system. First, there’s the signature AI-powered versatile rear screen, which the new phone continues the design of its predecessor while further enriching the functional experience.
The rear screen can display information such as time and notifications, and also supports personalized wallpapers, AI-generated avatars, and various application cards, allowing users to customize the displayed content according to their preferences. Furthermore, the rear screen can also serve as a preview screen for the rear camera, making it convenient for users to take selfies or record videos using the main camera, thus enhancing both practicality and playability.
In terms of imaging, the Xiaomi 18 Pro series is equipped with a Leica dual 200-megapixel imaging system, including a 1/1.28-inch large-sensor main camera and a 1/1.56-inch large-sensor periscope telephoto lens. The periscope telephoto lens supports 3.2x optical zoom and also has telephoto macro capabilities, which can handle both long-distance shooting and close-up shots.
In addition, the new phones are equipped with the next-generation Snapdragon flagship mobile platform. The Xiaomi 18 Pro is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Ultra, and the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Super Ultra.
It’s worth mentioning that the Xiaomi 17 Pro series was not previously available in overseas markets. Therefore, the launch of the Xiaomi 18 Pro series overseas means that overseas consumers can finally experience Xiaomi’s flagship back screen design through official channels.
For domestic users, the newly added burgundy color option in the international version is undoubtedly more appealing. Whether the Chinese version will be launched simultaneously remains to be confirmed by Xiaomi.
