Xiaomi 18T rumored upgrades, Digi Mart USA News: Xiaomi’s next premium mid-range smartphone, the 18T, is reportedly set to receive several significant hardware upgrades, according to information from the leaker @Gadgetsdata as reported by Notebookcheck. The Xiaomi 17T launched only in May, so the 18T is not expected to be officially unveiled for several more months.
The leak claims Xiaomi will keep three Leica-branded rear cameras on the phone, but two of them would offer much higher resolutions. Even the base model of the T series is reportedly set to get a 200-megapixel main camera, alongside a 50 MP ultra-wide camera and a 50 MP periscope telephoto camera.
The selfie camera is expected to keep its 32 MP sensor.
The display is also reportedly due for a notable change. The LTPS OLED panel’s refresh rate is said to rise from 120 Hz to 165 Hz during normal use, and to 185 Hz in supported games.
The fingerprint sensor is reportedly being integrated into the display.
Inside, the phone is reportedly built around a MediaTek Dimensity 8600, an unannounced ARM chip. The leak also says the chassis is IP69-certified for water resistance and that the device will ship with Android 17. One drawback, according to the report, is that Xiaomi is reportedly continuing to use a USB-C port limited to USB 2.0, which caps data transfer speeds at 480 Mbit/s.
These details remain unconfirmed. Because the launch could still be more than six months away and Xiaomi’s plans could change, the rumors should be treated with caution until the company makes an official announcement.
