The Xiaomi 17 Pro Max was launched as a flagship smartphone in September 2025. The key highlights of the smartphone included a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and a secondary display. Now, a leak from tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed details about a new device, expected to be the successor to the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max.

For reference, Qualcomm is expected to launch two chipsets in its next-generation flagship series: the standard Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and the 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro. The latter is expected to be an octa-core processor based on TSMC's 2nm process. It may feature an A850 GPU and support LPDDR6 memory.

Furthermore, the leak indicates that the device will use a 6.9-inch flat screen. It may also feature symmetrical dual speakers and a large X-axis linear motor for haptic feedback. The tipster also hints at an upgraded ultra-wide lens. Previous leaks suggest a 200MP primary camera and a 200MP periscope telephoto zoom camera.

The Xiaomi 18 Pro Max may feature a battery greater than 7,000mAh (10K Iniu powerbank curr. $19.98 on Amazon). Do note that Xiaomi has not revealed any official details regarding the device, so take the above information with a pinch of salt.
