A Xiaomi smartphone believed to be the upcoming Xiaomi 18 Pro has appeared in the Geekbench database, offering an early look at its processor, memory and software. The listing identifies a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chip, while Xiaomi has confirmed that the 18 Pro series will be unveiled later this month.

The benchmark entry uses model number M154FF and records a single-core score of 2,871 and a multi-core score of 8,836 in Geekbench 7. These results should be treated as preliminary because the tested phone is likely a prototype with unfinished hardware or software.

Snapdragon chip reaches 5.01GHz

According to the Geekbench entry, the processor in the device can reach a maximum clock speed of 5.01GHz. That points to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro as the main performance platform for at least one Xiaomi 18-series model.

The tested handset included 16GB of RAM. Xiaomi could release additional memory configurations, but the benchmark does not confirm which versions will be sold or whether the same specification will apply across the Xiaomi 18 Pro lineup.

The model number is also notable because it differs from Xiaomi's recent naming approach. The company has generally used identifiers beginning with the year and month, making M154FF an unusual entry. The naming difference alone does not establish that the listing is inaccurate.

HyperOS 4 and Android 17 expected

The Geekbench software information suggests that the Xiaomi 18 Pro series could ship with HyperOS 4. Xiaomi's next software version is based on Android 17, although the benchmark listing does not provide a full list of software features or confirm the final retail build.

Software shown in a prototype benchmark can change before launch. Xiaomi has not yet provided detailed information about the phone's final specifications, so the Geekbench entry is best viewed as an early indication rather than a complete product confirmation.

Xiaomi 18 Pro launch details

Xiaomi has started officially teasing the Xiaomi 18 Pro series and says the Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max will be unveiled later this month. The company has not announced an exact launch date in the available information.

Previous certifications indicate that both models will support 100W wired charging. Combined with the benchmark appearance, that suggests Xiaomi is gradually revealing the series ahead of its launch, but details such as pricing, camera hardware, battery capacity and regional availability remain unconfirmed.
