Xiaomi is preparing to launch two new flagship devices, the Xiaomi 18 and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max, with indications pointing toward a global release. The devices, with model numbers 2609BPN61G and 2611FPNFAG, have been certified by the EEC, according to a tipster. This certification suggests that both models will be available outside of China, unlike the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, which was released exclusively in the country. The news comes as part of Xiaomi’s ongoing strategy to expand its market presence internationally. The certification process is a key step in the launch of any new smartphone, as it ensures compliance with international standards. While details about the features and specifications of the new models remain scarce, the confirmation of EEC certification marks a significant milestone in their development. The global launch is expected to follow shortly after the certification process is complete. This move aligns with Xiaomi’s broader efforts to strengthen its position in key international markets.
