Leak Details Canceled Xiaomi 18 Ultra: Triple 200MP Camera and Flagship Chip

The leak, attributed to a Weibo post by Digital Chat Station, adds detail to what the device would have offered. The leaker said the Xiaomi 18 Ultra would have been powered by a high-end flagship chipset with a benchmark score of more than 500 million, paired with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Those specifications suggest a device positioned at the top of Xiaomi's lineup, though the company chose not to bring it to market.

Xiaomi's Ultra branding has until this year marked its most advanced flagship phones. Last year, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra sat above the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max. That hierarchy changed in 2026. In August, reports said Xiaomi had canceled plans to launch the Xiaomi 18 Ultra and would limit its flagship lineup to the Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max.

The new leak offers a clearer picture of why the canceled model may have been dropped. At roughly $1,490, the Xiaomi 18 Ultra would have been expensive, and Xiaomi apparently judged that price too high. The cancellation means consumers will not be able to buy the phone, despite the high-end components described in the leak. Android Authority described the device as a spec monster that no one will be able to buy, capturing the contrast between its leaked hardware and its commercial fate.

Xiaomi has not publicly confirmed the leaked specifications or the reported cancellation. The details come from a single leak and earlier reports about the company's plans. As a result, the final specifications and pricing of the canceled Xiaomi 18 Ultra have not been verified by Xiaomi.
