Xiaomi’s official calendar of presentations for 2026

Xiaomi traditionally holds major events in February, April, July and October, which are the months in which flagship series are usually announced, but in 2026 the schedule may shift due to changes in supply chains and competition with Samsung and Apple.

• 📅 February 2026 – presentation of Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro (already held on 25.02.2026 in Beijing).
• 📅 April 2026 – expected to announce POCO F6 Redmi Note 13T Pro (date confirmed by the CEO) POCO Twitter).
• 📅 July 2026 – the likely release of the folding smartphone Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 and budget Redmi 13C.
• 📅 October 2026 – presentation of the flagship Xiaomi 15 with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor.

Important: Redmi and POCO dates can be shifted by ±2 weeks — these series are often announced without any teasers. For example, the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ was introduced a week earlier in 2023 due to network leaks.
