Xiaomi 18 may have appeared in the GSMA database 👀
What the leak suggests:
• Codename: "madrid"
• Global, India, China & Japan variants spotted
• 6.3–6.4-inch compact flagship design
• Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro
• LPDDR6 memory
• HyperOS next-generation optimizations
Interestingly, Xiaomi's internal model-number strategy appears to have changed, making it unclear whether "madrid" is the Xiaomi 18 or Xiaomi 18 Pro.
The model number also hints at a possible November 2026 launch window, later than some earlier leaks suggested.
A compact flagship with next-gen silicon is still very much on track.
