After Xiaomi announced the Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max, it revealed that the 2 are headed for a global launch. That was a spot unusual, since the Xiaomi 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max ne'er near China. Maybe this has thing to bash with the rumor from August that claimed that the Xiaomi 18 Ultra had been canceled.
Now leakster Digital Chat Station is reporting the aforesaid – the Ultra is disconnected the motorboat calendar. Apparently, it would person outgo CNY 10,000 for a 12/256GB unit, which Xiaomi felt would person been excessively overmuch and wouldn’t person generated capable sales.
CNY 10,000 is not inexpensive – it converts to $1,500 / £1,125 / €1,330 / ₹143,500. It’s a hefty terms hike implicit the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, which was CNY 7,000 for a 12/512GB portion (with treble the storage) and adjacent the Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Edition was CNY 8,000 for a 16/512GB unit.
Digital Chat Station’s station astir the Xiaomi 18 Ultra (machine translated)
Still, if the specs reported by DCS are true, this would person been 1 mighty camera phone. The Xiaomi 18 Ultra was reportedly planned with a 200MP 1/1.12” LOFIC main camera, a 200MP 1/1.28” LOFIC periscope with a continuous zoom lens and a 200MP 1/1.56” ultra-wide camera.
It would person had different niceties similar a flagship chipset, a level show with adjacent 1mm bezels and symmetric stereo speakers, but astir of the fund would apt person been spent connected the camera hardware – particularly considering the basal level RAM and representation configuration.
For what it’s worth, it looks similar DCS’ archetypal station is nary longer accessible, truthful we’re not definite whether the leakster inactive stands by this information. The terms would person surely been an contented for sales, but we haven’t seen what the vivo X500 Ultra and Oppo Find X10 Ultra volition outgo – possibly CNY 10,000 is the caller mean for a camera-focused Ultra flagship.
