Xiaomi 18T Series Leak Points to a 200MP Main Camera and 50MP Periscope

The Xiaomi 18T series could pair a 200MP main camera with a 50MP periscope telephoto offering roughly 3x optical zoom. The distinction matters: the leak puts the 200MP sensor behind the main lens, while a 200MP telephoto is expected to remain exclusive to the flagship Xiaomi 18 series.

The same leak points to a Super Pixel OLED display, 3nm MediaTek Dimensity chips and HyperOS 4. These are preliminary details, and the leak does not identify which features belong to each 18T model.

Xiaomi 18T series camera leak: three lenses with different roles

Leica optics tipped, but the telephoto sensor may change

Leica optics are tipped for the rear camera system. The leak names the JN5 as a backup option for the periscope camera, so the identity of the final 50MP sensor remains open. It does not suggest that the JN5 would be an additional lens.

Super Pixel OLED display: 165Hz or 185Hz?

The display is described as a Super Pixel OLED panel, likely using LTPS technology. Two possible maximum refresh rates are mentioned: 165Hz and 185Hz. The leak does not say whether Xiaomi is considering both for the same phone or planning different panels across the series.

3nm Dimensity chipsets and HyperOS 4

The processor details point to MediaTek's Dimensity 9000- and 8000-series families, referred to as D9 and D8 in the leak. Both are described as 3nm options, but no exact chip names or model pairings are given. HyperOS 4 is the expected software.

The leak does not provide battery capacity, charging speeds, prices or a launch date. For now, the clearest rumored difference from the flagship Xiaomi 18 lineup is the telephoto: the 18T series is tipped to use a 50MP periscope even as its main camera reaches 200MP.
