TREE NEWS update: Xiaomi launched its 18 Pro series on stage, with partner and group president Lu Weibing saying both models run Qualcomm’s new flagship 2nm GAA platform. Pricing starts at 5,999 yuan. The announcement marks Xiaomi’s first Pro lineup built on a 2nm gate-all-around chip.
Xiaomi 18 Pro Series Launches Starting at 5,999 Yuan
The headline here is the silicon, not the phone. A 2nm gate-all-around platform in a volume Pro lineup signals that the leading-edge node has moved from sampling to shipping in consumer hardware, with Qualcomm supplying the first visible proof. Xiaomi's pricing suggests it is absorbing some of that cost rather than passing it all to buyers. What matters next is whether rival flagship launches follow on the same platform, and whether 2nm capacity holds up as more devices adopt it.
