The Xiaomi 18 series is expected to debut in China this September. A new report now claims that the lineup will launch without an Ultra variant and instead comprise three models. The report also suggests the series could arrive in India earlier than usual.

According to the report, Xiaomi's next flagship lineup will include the Xiaomi 18, Xiaomi 18 Pro, and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max.

Xiaomi is said to have scrapped development of the Ultra variant with the 18 Pro Max expected to serve as the company's flagship model this year.

The report also suggests the Xiaomi 18 series will make its India debut in December, roughly three months earlier than the company's usual launch timeline. However, the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max is expected to be available in limited quantities in the Indian market.
