Redmi Note 18 Surfaces in 3C Certification: 67W Charging Confirmed, Pro Max Tipped With 10,000mAh Battery
Xiaomi’s next mid-range lineup has made its first appearance in public records. A new Xiaomi phone carrying the model number M841EE has cleared China’s 3C certification, and well-known tipster Digital Chat Station believes the device belongs to the upcoming Redmi Note 18 series. The filing confirms one hard fact — 67W wired charging — while the rest of the story is still leak territory.

What the 3C listing actually confirms
The certification record, which went live on November 12, lists the M841EE with support for 67W wired charging. That is the only specification the filing itself proves: it names no marketing name, no display, no camera and no battery size. The link to the Redmi Note 18 series comes from Digital Chat Station, who shared a screenshot of the listing on Weibo and identified the device as part of the upcoming lineup. GSMArena, 91mobiles and GizmoChina have all reported the same filing, so the 67W figure is solid — the Note 18 name attached to it is still a tipster’s reading, not an official confirmation.
What is tipped, not confirmed
According to Digital Chat Station, three Redmi Note 18 models have been registered so far, and the top model is tipped to be called the Redmi Note 18 Pro Max, packing a battery in the 10,000mAh range. That figure should be treated with care: the current Redmi Note 17 Pro Max already offers a 10,000mAh battery, so a 10,000mAh Note 18 Pro Max would match its predecessor rather than beat it. No charging speed has been tipped for the Pro Max itself, and no chipset, display or camera details have leaked yet. Until Xiaomi says something on the record, all of this stays unconfirmed.
How it compares with the Redmi Note 17 series
The 67W charging figure is familiar ground. The Redmi Note 17 Pro, which launched in China in July 2026, also shipped with 67W wired charging and a 9,000mAh battery, while the base Redmi Note 17 settled for 45W charging. The Note 17 Pro also brought a 6.83-inch 1.5K display and a 50MP main camera in a rectangular rear module. If the M841EE turns out to be the Note 18 Pro, the charging speed would be unchanged from its predecessor — the upgrade, if there is one, would have to come from the battery, the cameras or the chip. Xiaomi’s other current flagship push is the Xiaomi 18 Pro series, which goes global on November 17 — read our coverage of that launch here: https://mobileinner.com/xiaomi-18-pro-series-global-launch-november-17/
When could it launch?
There is no official launch date. GSMArena reports the series is said to go official ahead of the Chinese Lunar New Year, while a separate leak picked up by 91mobiles suggests more Redmi phones could arrive before the end of the year — though it is not confirmed whether those are Note 18 models. The Note 17 series reached China in July 2026 and went global in August, so a Note 18 debut only four months later would be an unusually fast turnaround for the lineup. For now, the 3C listing is best read as early regulatory groundwork, not a launch announcement.
The Redmi Note 18 is real enough to be in the certification system, but almost everything about it is still unwritten. The 67W charging is confirmed; the 10,000mAh Pro Max is a rumour worth watching, not a fact worth repeating as one. We will update this story when Xiaomi confirms the lineup.
