The Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max debuted in China in September, with Xiaomi confirming a day later that both smartphones would launch globally. Now, Italian retailer Epto has listed the two devices ahead of their international debut, revealing their European prices, available colors, and specifications.

The Xiaomi 18 Pro is listed at €1,398.90 for the version with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, while the 12GB RAM and 512GB storage model costs €1,591.90. The Xiaomi 18 Pro Max is listed with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage for €1,783.90. Some listings for the Pro Max in white and Velvet Red, featuring different model numbers, are slightly cheaper at €1,761.90.

Both smartphones are listed in black, white, and Velvet Red. This differs from the Chinese lineup, where the standard color options are black, white, pink, and blue, while red is exclusive to the Transparent Special Edition with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. The European versions therefore appear to offer a standard red finish while leaving out the blue and pink options.

The retailer’s listings also support last week’s reports about smaller batteries in the European models. The Xiaomi 18 Pro features a 6,000mAh battery with 90W wired charging, compared with the 7,000mAh battery and 100W charging available in China. The Xiaomi 18 Pro Max has a 7,050mAh battery, down from 8,500mAh in the Chinese version, while retaining 100W wired charging. Epto lists endurance figures of 66 and 70 hours per charge cycle for the two devices, respectively, and rates both batteries for 1,000 charging cycles.
The chipsets remain unchanged, with the Xiaomi 18 Pro powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and the Pro Max featuring the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6. Both smartphones run HyperOS 4. Epto’s listed prices are slightly lower than the starting prices of €1,449 for the Pro and €1,849 for the Pro Max reported in last week’s leak. However, the two smartphones still appear to be expensive offerings. Epto’s listings are also known for unusual pricing, whereas recommended retail prices typically end in €49.99 or €99.99.
