A leaker whose information has almost always been accurate in the past has now revealed what are likely the final euro prices for the four Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max models in Europe, with prices apparently having changed slightly. There is also "confirmation" of the specs and colors from France.

A few days ago, leaker Sudhanshu Ambhore shared information about the prices, specs, storage options and colors of the European Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max models, but some of the details may not have been entirely accurate. Another explanation could be that euro prices will vary, with the higher prices potentially applying to countries with higher taxes, for instance Portugal. In any case, French leaker billbil-kun is now reporting slightly different euro prices and also corroborating the information on colors, model variants and specs, including the reduced battery capacities in Europe.
According to the latest information from France (via Deallabs), the Xiaomi 18 Pro with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage will not cost €1,449 but "only" €1,399 (US$1,570), that`s €50 less. The version with 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage will reportedly cost €1,599 (US$ 1,795). That is also the starting price for the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max with 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage, while the version with 512 GB of storage will set you back €1,799 (US$ 2,018). All the prices mentioned are therefore €50 (US$56) lower than previously reported, though whether this will bring much joy to European Xiaomi remains to be seen.
Despite the potentially slightly lower recommended retail prices, the caveat remains that Xiaomi's smaller Leica camera flagship will launch with a 6,000 mAh battery rather than the 7,000 mAh battery offered in China. The larger Xiaomi 18 Pro Max will suffer an even greater reduction in battery life, with 7,050 mAh instead of 8,500 mAh. According to the leaker, the three standard colors planned for Europe are Bordeaux (Velvet Red), black and white. The Cosmic Blue color option could potentially be available exclusively from the manufacturer, at least that appears to be the plan in France. It remains to be seen what Xiaomi has planned for other regions in Europe and around the world, but we expect very similar plans, at least in the EU.
