"In September, Qualcomm is rumored to be unveiling the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, with the latter being the company's new top dog in the smartphone SoC space until 2027. Now a new rumor from China claims the Xiaomi 18 will use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, and not the Pro version of the SoC, since the Elite Gen 6 Pro is apparently going to be too expensive."
"Xiaomi will allegedly unveil its next flagship family in September, right after Qualcomm makes the new chips official, in the latest installment of the two companies' long-running agreement which gives Xiaomi dibs on Qualcomm's newest top of the line chips (even if the exclusivity doesn't really last all that long)."
"A previous rumor from last month claimed the Xiaomi 18 would sport a periscope telephoto camera, which will very likely be the same 50MP one with f/3.0 aperture that the Xiaomi 17 Pro uses today."
Qualcomm is expected to launch the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro in September, with the Pro positioned as the flagship through 2027. Rumors from China indicate the Xiaomi 18 will adopt the non‑Pro Elite Gen 6 because the Pro chipset will be too costly. The Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max are anticipated to ship with the Elite Gen 6 Pro. Xiaomi's 18 series is likely to be revealed in September shortly after Qualcomm's announcement, continuing the pattern of Xiaomi receiving early access to Qualcomm's top chips. Previous leaks suggest the Xiaomi 18 may include a 50MP f/3.0 periscope telephoto camera similar to the Xiaomi 17 Pro.
