Fresh off the feeds, this is Tech After Dark. I'm Rocco, here with Nova. GSMArena reports a seller in China is taking blind pre-orders for the vanilla Xiaomi 18. Easy, Rocco. This isn't an official Xiaomi sale. Fans just put down a refundable deposit so they get first pick of color and memory configuration. Okay, but Nova, what's it gonna cost me? No price yet, and the launch might not even happen until December.

The rumored specs do list a 7,200 milliamp hour battery, though, so it should last a good long while. Okay, okay, I can wait. The full GSMArena post is linked, more as it comes in, see you next time!
