Xiaomi confirms the 18 Pro smartphone series will be sold globally this year, ending prior China-only exclusivity for the lineup. The company’s announcement indicates the phones will be available beyond its home market during the current rollout cycle.
According to NDTV, Xiaomi’s earlier “Pro” models from the previous year were not released outside China. The reporting also says India could receive the phones earlier than other regions, though no specific release dates for each market are provided.
Across the information shared, the emphasis is on the shift from a China-exclusive distribution to a worldwide launch for the 18 Pro series. While outlets agree on the global availability and the end of China-only sales, they focus differently on timing implications for specific markets such as India rather than on detailed pricing, specifications, or carrier availability.
