Xiaomi 18 Pro Max (CN Version)

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 two 200MP Leica cameras together with a 6.9-inch privacy display and a separate 2.9-inch rear screen. Its 2nm Snapdragon platform and 8,500 mAh typical battery support a phone built around photography, extended use, and flexible screen interactions. PDAPlaza offers this Chinese-market model with the memory and finish choices listed below; regional software and carrier requirements apply.

Key features

• 200MP Leica main and periscope cameras, plus a 50MP autofocus ultrawide.
• 6.9-inch Super Pixel 2.0 AMOLED privacy display with up to 120Hz refresh.
• 2.9-inch rear AMOLED screen for camera preview and customizable interactions.
• Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 with a 2nm process and CPU speeds up to 5GHz.
• 8,500 mAh typical battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging using compatible equipment.
• Dual Nano-SIM connectivity, Wi-Fi 7, and USB 3.2 Gen 1 with a separately purchased USB 3 cable.

Two high-resolution Leica cameras

The 200MP main camera pairs a 1/1.28-inch Light Hunter 960L sensor with a bright f/1.67 lens and optical stabilization. A separate 200MP periscope camera provides 3.2× optical zoom and focuses as close as 12 cm, while the 50MP ultrawide adds autofocus and 5 cm macro capability. These three perspectives let you move from broad scenes to details without treating digital cropping as optical zoom.

Rear-camera recording extends to 8K at 30fps and 4K at 120fps. The rear display can help frame selfies with the main camera system. Legendary Moment imaging uses uploaded sensor data for cloud processing; the advertised 75 mm lens simulation follows Xiaomi’s late-September OTA schedule rather than being assumed available on every initial software build.

A privacy display and a useful second screen

The main AMOLED panel combines 2624 × 1208 Super Pixel resolution with hardware privacy control. Its app-specific privacy features cover supported applications and pages, so availability depends on the installed software. Both screens support adaptive refresh up to 120Hz and full-range DC dimming, with a stated multi-scene peak brightness of 4,000 nits.

On the back, a 2.9-inch display provides camera preview and application cards without turning the phone around. AI customization can create different results from the same prompt, and the custom-avatar feature follows Xiaomi’s announced OTA rollout. The screen is also a visual distinction between the standard finishes and the transparent design.

Performance with room for large files

The Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 uses a fourth-generation Oryon CPU rated up to 5GHz, alongside Adreno graphics and Qualcomm’s AI Engine. LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage accompany Xiaomi’s loop liquid cooling system. Choose a verified pair of physical RAM and internal storage rather than relying on virtual-memory figures.

Battery capacity and charging choices

An 8,500 mAh typical battery supports 100W Xiaomi wired charging and 50W wireless charging. Maximum wired charging requires a Xiaomi 100W charger, while wireless charging requires a compatible Xiaomi set of at least 50W, sold separately. Up to 100W PPS provides another option with a compatible charger; 27W wired reverse charging and wireless reverse charging can supply compatible accessories.

Configurations and regional details

The Storage choices are 12GB/256GB, 12GB/512GB, 16GB/512GB, and 16GB/1TB; the first figure is RAM and the second is internal storage. Black, White, Ice Peach Pink, and Galaxy Blue are available with each pair. Transparent Edition is limited to 16GB/1TB. This PDAPlaza listing uses the standard phone package, without the optional pocket-guitar bundle or manufacturer-store service promotions.

This CN version has two Nano-SIM slots, but supported bands do not guarantee service with every carrier. Dual-active operation and some 5G bands have carrier or software requirements detailed below. The included cable does not support USB 3 data speeds. NFC transit, payment, access-card, and car-key functions depend on supported services and vehicles.
