Xiaomi will be very busy in India in 2027, with the Xiaomi 18 Pro and new Redmi Note 17 Aura launching in the first week of January and the Xiaomi 18T in March/April. However, none of these dates have been officially confirmed by Xiaomi, instead they are based on leaks and filings.
Xiaomi 18 Pro – Will be priced at around ₹1.5 lakh
The Xiaomi 18 Pro will be coming to India, Xiaomi confirmed this at the India Mobile Congress 2026. This has been confirmed as the Xiaomi 18 Pro variant will be coming to India, now appearing on the BIS database. This will launch in the first week of January, with sales beginning in the second week. It’s expected to be priced at around ₹1.5 lakh, which will be more expensive than the 17 Ultra. The phone is said to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chip, which was confirmed by Xiaomi during the event. There’s not much else to report here, as the details will be revealed when Xiaomi officially announces the device.
Redmi Note 17 Aura – Launches in January
The Redmi Note 17 Aura is also said to launch in the first week of January. This will be a new Note 17 variant, however it might only receive minor upgrades and a new colour. The Note 17, Note 17 Pro and Note 17 Pro Max are already available in India, so this will be a new version of the device. It’s said this might be exclusive to India, however there’s no information on pricing or specification.
Xiaomi 18T – Launches in March/April 2027
The 18T is tipped to launch in March/April 2027. It’s said to have Leica tuned cameras and the Dimensity 8600 chip, making it a more mid-premium option. This is the furthest out of the three, so details are early speculation.
What does this mean?
If you’re looking for a premium Xiaomi then the 18 Pro is what to look out for. However it’s expected to be very pricey. If you’re looking for something mid range in Q1 2027 then the Redmi Note 17 Aura will be the important one to watch. The 18T is a good choice if you’re able to wait until Spring. All three devices are still unconfirmed so keep an eye on Xiaomi India for their official details.
