Xiaomi has cancelled a high-end smartphone that was expected to carry a triple camera setup with a 200 MP sensor, according to 4gnews. The same report mentions a magnetic feature that would have been part of the device.
The cancellation was reported on 6 October 2026. A separate report from estadao.com.br, citing a leaker, states that the model — referred to as the Xiaomi 18 Ultra — was dropped because it was considered too expensive.
Coverage of the company's upcoming lineup has since moved toward other devices. Terra reports that the Xiaomi 18 Pro hides one of Xiaomi's most ambitious bets in years on its rear panel, with more than 100 functions described as only the beginning. Showmetech reports that the Xiaomi 18 Pro will also get a global version, and raises the question of when it will reach Brazil.
TudoCelular.com, in its Plantão TC roundup, links the Xiaomi 18 leak with the POCO X8s and a new Motorola Razr Flex. The 4gnews headline places the cancelled device's camera at the centre of the story, while the cost explanation comes from the estadao.com.br report.
None of the reports cited here include official confirmation from Xiaomi, and no launch date or pricing for the cancelled model has been given. The details available so far come from leaks and press coverage rather than company statements.
What to watch next: whether Xiaomi confirms anything about the cancelled Ultra model, and when the Xiaomi 18 Pro's global rollout, including any Brazilian launch, is officially announced.
