With about five months until the official launch of the Xiaomi 18 series, rumors about the Xiaomi 18 Pro have already started to surface.

This time, there are two key points in the exposure. First, the back panel renderings. From the images, it can be seen that the Xiaomi 18 Pro continues the previous design concept, with a triple camera setup on the back, and the secondary screen is also retained. However, it should be noted that these renderings are for an early version and may not represent the final production appearance; just take them as a general direction.

The second point is a new dedicated AI button. This might be a more interesting detail in this exposure. The button is expected to be placed on the side of the device, supports customizable functions, and can quickly trigger AI features. More interestingly, it may also have the ability to control smart home devices, and even be integrated with compatible Xiaomi electric vehicles— if true, this button could offer a wide range of usage scenarios, not just a simple shortcut key.

In terms of other specifications, previous leaks indicate that the Xiaomi 18 Pro will feature a 6.3-inch screen on the front, with the main camera and 3x telephoto lens possibly both using two 200-megapixel sensors. The battery capacity is over 7000mAh, supports wireless charging, and has full waterproof capabilities.

Naturally, all the above information comes from leaks, and the final configuration and design will be confirmed by the official release. See the real thing in five months. For now, there's nothing else to do but keep waiting for more news.
