Xiaomi could bring three new smartphones to India over the next few months. A fresh leak suggests that the Xiaomi 18 Pro and Redmi Note 17 Aura may launch in the first week of January 2027. The Xiaomi 18T could follow in March or April.
The reported schedule comes from tipster Abhishek Yadav, who shared the information on X. Xiaomi has not confirmed these launch plans. The dates and pricing should therefore be treated as unverified until the company makes an official announcement.
Xiaomi 18 Pro and Redmi Note 17 Aura India launch timeline
According to the leak, Xiaomi plans to launch the Xiaomi 18 Pro and Redmi Note 17 Aura in India during the first week of January 2027. Sales of the Xiaomi 18 Pro could begin in the second week of January.
The tipster also claims that Xiaomi may price the flagship at around ₹1,50,000 in India. This is an estimated price, not an official retail price. Xiaomi has not shared the Indian RAM and storage configurations either.
The Xiaomi 18T could arrive later, with the leak pointing to a March or April 2027 launch window. Details about its specifications, variants and expected price remain unavailable.
Xiaomi 18 Pro price and specifications
Xiaomi launched the 18 Pro in China in September 2026. Its starting price was CNY 5,999, or roughly ₹86,000, for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage variant. The leaked India estimate of ₹1.5 lakh is considerably higher, although taxes, configuration and market positioning could affect the final price.
The Chinese Xiaomi 18 Pro features a 6.4-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It also has a 2.7-inch secondary screen on the rear. The phone runs Android 17-based HyperOS 4 and uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipset.
The China model offers up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. Its triple rear camera system includes two 200-megapixel sensors and a 50-megapixel camera. A 50-megapixel front camera handles selfies and video calls.
The phone packs a 7,000mAh battery. It supports 100W wired charging, 50W wireless charging and 27W wired reverse charging. These are China-variant specifications; the final India configuration could differ.
What to expect from the Redmi Note 17 Aura and Xiaomi 18T
The leak identifies the Redmi Note 17 Aura as another January launch. However, it does not reveal the phone’s hardware, price or position within the Redmi Note 17 family. Xiaomi has also not confirmed whether Aura will be the final retail name.
The Xiaomi 18T has an even longer wait. Its reported March–April 2027 launch window gives no indication of its chipset, cameras, battery or pricing. More details may emerge closer to the expected launch period.
India launch plans remain unconfirmed
The latest leak points to a busy start to 2027 for Xiaomi in India. The Xiaomi 18 Pro could target the premium flagship segment, while the Redmi Note 17 Aura may address a different price category. The Xiaomi 18T could expand the company’s lineup later in the quarter.
For now, buyers should treat the reported dates and ₹1.5 lakh price as estimates. Xiaomi has not announced an India launch event or confirmed these three devices. We will update this report when the company shares official details.
