Xiaomi 18 Pro Max launching globally without 16 GB RAM or massive battery

Amazon Japan has offered a few new details about Xiaomi's upcoming flagship smartphone release. For context, the company has already confirmed it will be launching the Xiaomi 18 Pro series globally on November 17. Incidentally, the Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max have been available since September 23 in China.
Currently, Xiaomi is posting numerous teasers on its global social media channels, many of which focus on the Xiaomi 18 Pro series' secondary display. However, Amazon Japan appears to have confirmed a few hardware specifications that were the subject of leaks earlier this year.
Specifically, the retailer reports that the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max contains a 7,050 mAh battery for its global release, a 17% downgrade from its Chinese counterpart. Still, this capacity would provide the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max with a much larger battery than competing flagships, such as by 41% compared to the Galaxy S26 Ultra (curr. $1,042 on Amazon).
Moreover, Xiaomi Japan reports that the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max will be limited to 12 GB of RAM, with 16 GB of RAM offered in China. Likewise, the smartphone will come with a choice between 256 GB or 512 GB of storage and Black, Cosmic Blue, Velvet Red and White colours. While the retailer has not revealed pricing information yet, previous leaks suggest that the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max will start at €1,799 ($1,993) in the Eurozone.
