- A new leak has shed light on the impressive specs of the Xiaomi 18 Ultra.
- The phone could’ve featured a triple 200MP rear camera setup and a flagship processor.
- Xiaomi reportedly canceled the phone because it would have been too expensive at around $1,490 (converted).
Xiaomi’s top-of-the-line flagships have, until this year, carried the “Ultra” moniker. Last year, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra sat above the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, but things have changed this time around. In August, we saw reports that said the company canceled plans to launch the Xiaomi 18 Ultra, opting instead to limit its lineup to the Xiaomi 18 Pro and Pro Max. Now, a new leak offers insight into what the Xiaomi 18 Ultra could have been like and why it was canceled.
According to a Weibo post by leaker Digital Chat Station (DCS), had Xiaomi not canceled the 18 Ultra, it would have boasted extremely impressive specs. The leaker states that it would have featured a high-end flagship chipset with a benchmark score over 500 million, paired with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
