Xiaomi 18 Pro Max (CN Version)

Important Notice: This is a Chinese-market Xiaomi model. The system supports English and Chinese languages only. The Google Play Store can be installed, but it is not pre-installed on the device. Please consider these software and language differences before purchasing.

The Xiaomi 18 Pro Max brings a 6.9-inch AMOLED privacy display, a useful 2.9-inch rear screen and a Leica camera system with two 200MP sensors to a large-format flagship. Its Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 platform and 8,500mAh typical battery support demanding everyday use. IVORION offers this Chinese-market model in the verified memory and color combinations listed below.

Key features

• 6.9-inch Super Pixel 2.0 AMOLED main screen with hardware privacy controls and up to 120Hz refresh.
• 2.9-inch AMOLED rear display for camera previews, selfies and supported interactive features.
• 200MP main and 200MP periscope telephoto cameras, plus a 50MP ultrawide camera.
• Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage.
• 8,500mAh typical battery, 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging with compatible equipment.
• Dual Nano-SIM, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0 and three stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos.

Three Leica cameras for different perspectives

The 200MP main camera pairs a large 1/1.28-inch sensor with optical stabilization and a bright f/1.67 lens. A separate 200MP periscope camera provides 3.2× optical zoom and close focusing at 12 cm, while the autofocus ultrawide covers wider scenes and 5 cm macro subjects. The rear screen lets you frame selfies with the rear cameras. Advanced cloud-based image processing and software-dependent modes have the qualifications listed in Specifications.

A main display with a useful second screen

The main display combines a flat 6.9-inch viewing area with privacy controls for supported situations and apps. Around the back, the 2.9-inch AMOLED panel adds a camera preview and supported application cards. Both displays offer adaptive refresh up to 120Hz and single-pulse DC dimming throughout the brightness range. The 4,000-nit figure is a multi-scenario peak rating, not a claim of constant full-screen brightness.

Fast processing and clearly defined memory choices

The 2 nm Snapdragon platform works with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage for responsive applications and room for photos and video. At IVORION, the Storage selector shows physical RAM first and internal storage second, so 16GB/512GB means 16GB of RAM with 512GB of storage. The transparent special edition is offered only with 16GB/1TB; the other four colors are available across all four verified memory pairs.

A large battery with flexible charging

The 8,500mAh typical battery supports Xiaomi Surge wired and wireless charging, along with compatible PPS charging. Wired reverse charging is rated at 27W, and wireless reverse charging is also supported. Charging performance depends on the charger, conditions and software; the wireless charging equipment requirements are detailed below. The standard USB-C cable is suitable for charging but does not provide USB 3 data-transfer capability.

Connected features for the Chinese-market model

Xiaomi HyperOS 4 brings rear-screen features, compatible device connections and regional Wallet services. Two Nano-SIM slots, the published cellular-band set and modern wireless standards give you several ways to connect, but carrier service, dual-active combinations and regional services remain dependent on network and software support. Check the specific band and service requirements of your operator before choosing this CN version.
