As Qualcomm is widely rumored to launch a new generation of flagship chips, the S8E Gen6 series, in September, information about the first models of each brand has been circulating on the Internet in recent days.
Among them, the tipster “Digital Chat Station” revealed earlier that the first round of devices equipped with this 2nm process chip may include Xiaomi’s Xiaomi 18 Pro Max mobile phone.

Xiaomi 18 Pro Max is expected to be equipped with top hardware specifications such as a 200MP LOFIC main lens, a 200MP outsole telephoto macro, a battery with a capacity of over 8,000mAh, and an ultra-narrow ultra-clear direct screen with four equal sides and four corners.

However, in response to netizens’ concerns about the device price, the tipster stated that the price of Xiaomi 18 Pro Max may not be cheap. It seems that with the current increase in RAM/NAND costs, the selling price of mobile phones will also be affected.
Mobile Magazine’s short comment: Taking into account the price situation, it is expected that many flagship mobile phones in the second half of this year will shift from a cost-effective approach to targeted improvements in hardware configuration to ensure that they remain competitive in high-price scenarios.
