Xiaomi 18 and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max Launch In Pakistan as Global Launch Nears with EEC Certification

Xiaomi launched the Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max in China on September 23, 2026. Xiaomi has confirmed that the Pro series will also go global this year. It has not announced a date, a list of countries or global prices. The standard Xiaomi 18 has not launched yet.

Xiaomi 18 Pro and Pro Max price in PKR

These are China launch prices. The PKR figures are a direct conversion at Rs 41 per yuan. They are not Pakistan prices. They leave out taxes, duties and shipping, so a Pakistan price will be higher.

The special editions come with 16GB + 1TB. The Pro costs CNY 9,999 (about Rs 410,000) and the Pro Max costs CNY 10,999 (about Rs 451,000).

The Pro now starts 20% above the Xiaomi 17 Pro’s China price of CNY 4,999. Xiaomi’s president has said the new phones cost more than last year’s models.

Why the Pro Max Certification Actually Matters

The regular Xiaomi 18 Pro had already shown up on global certification databases more than once, so its international release was never really in doubt. The Pro Max was the uncertain one, no prior listings meant industry watchers had largely written off a global version entirely, assuming Xiaomi would repeat last year's China-only approach for its top model. Today's EEC listing directly contradicts that assumption.

Global launch status

Xiaomi has confirmed that the 18 Pro series will launch outside China this year. That includes the Pro Max.

This is a change. The last numbered Xiaomi Pro phone to go global was the Xiaomi 13 Pro in 2023.

What about the standard Xiaomi 18?

Xiaomi did not launch it with the Pro models. Xiaomi has confirmed that it will launch separately later this year.

The date and the specs are not confirmed. Leaks point to a December launch, a 6.4-inch screen, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and a 7,200mAh battery. Leaks also point to a dual 200MP camera setup and no rear display. Treat all of this as unconfirmed until Xiaomi announces it.

What the EEC listings showed

In July 2026, the Eurasian Economic Commission certified two Xiaomi models. Their numbers are 2609BPN61G and 2611FPNFAG. The listings do not show device names or specs.

A tipster linked the numbers to the global Xiaomi 18 Pro Max and the standard Xiaomi 18. That link did not come from Xiaomi. Xiaomi’s global-launch confirmation is stronger proof, but it covers the Pro series only. A global launch for the standard Xiaomi 18 is not confirmed.

What is the Xiaomi 18 Pro price in Pakistan?

There is no official price. The China price converts to about Rs 246,000 before taxes and duties.

When does the global launch happen?

Xiaomi only confirms “this year.”
