Xiaomi’s upcoming 18 Pro is listed on Geekbench, indicating the handset is powered by Qualcomm’s unreleased Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro. The entries mention a chipset associated with QTI’s SM8975 and link the device to a new model identifier on the benchmarking platform.
Both reports point to the same general development: Geekbench results are being used to confirm chipset details ahead of an announced launch. GSMArena adds that Xiaomi has started officially teasing the 18 Pro lineup, with the 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max expected to be unveiled later this month, though no specific date is provided. NDTV further includes clock and configuration details for the SM8975 variant, describing a multi-cluster CPU layout and peak clock figures. The outlets differ mainly in what they provide beyond the Geekbench confirmation—NDTV emphasizes expected CPU core speeds and a 2nm manufacturing process, while GSMArena focuses more on the broader confirmation from the database and Xiaomi’s newer model-number scheme.
