Xiaomi 18 Pro Max 16GB/1TB Black (China Version) – Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, 2.9-Inch Rear Display, 8500mAh, 100W, Dual 200MP Leica

The Xiaomi 18 Pro Max Black is the largest phone in Xiaomi’s new 18 series, launched in China on 23 September 2026. This unit is the China version with 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage, finished in black glass fibre. Xiaomi lists the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, a 6.9-inch AMOLED display with a built-in privacy screen, a 2.9-inch second screen on the back, two 200 MP Leica cameras and an 8500 mAh battery with 100 W wired charging.

China version: what to know before you buy

This Xiaomi 18 Pro Max Black is the model Xiaomi sells in mainland China, running the China edition of Xiaomi HyperOS 4. Xiaomi has not released a global version yet, and its China spec sheet does not list Google Play or other Google services. If Google apps are essential for you, message us before ordering and we will check the software on this unit in the warehouse. For UAE networks, Xiaomi’s band list covers GSM 900/1800, LTE bands 1, 3, 7, 20, 28 and 40, and 5G n1, n28, n41 and n78; Xiaomi notes that 5G n3 needs a later software update. There are two physical Nano-SIM slots and no eSIM.

16 GB and 1 TB for heavy work

The 1 TB version is the one to choose if you shoot a lot of video. Xiaomi rates the rear cameras at up to 8K 30 fps and 4K 120 fps, and a few minutes of 8K fills storage quickly, so the extra space matters more here than on most phones. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 is built on a 2 nm process with Qualcomm Oryon CPU cores reaching 5 GHz, paired with 16 GB of LPDDR5X memory and UFS 4.1 storage. For editing clips, keeping many apps open and long gaming sessions, the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max Black has plenty of headroom.

The black glass-fibre finish

Black is the low-key choice of the four standard colours. The glass-fibre back is lighter than the glass used on the blue and transparent versions, so the black model weighs 235 g and measures 8.39 mm thick, against 240 g and 8.47 mm for the glass-backed models. It hides fingerprints well, suits a work setting, and the included case keeps the camera island protected from the first day.

Who This Is Not For

At 235 g and 6.9 inches, the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max Black is heavy for one-handed use and big for small pockets. Buyers who depend on Google apps, eSIM or a local Xiaomi UAE warranty should wait for the global model, because this is the China version and Xiaomi lists no eSIM. And if you will never shoot 8K video or store large files, the 512 GB versions cost less for the same phone.
