The upcoming Xiaomi 16 has surfaced in a fresh round of leaks, thanks to tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo. The new flagship from Xiaomi is expected to bring some major upgrades in performance, camera, and battery.
Xiaomi 16: Expected Specifications (Leaked)
According to the leak, the Xiaomi 16 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset, Qualcomm’s next-gen flagship processor set to launch by the end of September.
On the back, the phone may feature a triple 50MP camera setup, including a 1/1.3-inch main sensor, an ultrawide lens, and a telemacro shooter. Interestingly, the leak doesn’t confirm if the telemacro will use a periscope zoom lens, something that was rumored earlier.
The device could also pack a battery of over 6,500mAh, making it one of the biggest batteries in a premium flagship smartphone. For the display, Xiaomi is reportedly going with a 6.3-inch flat OLED panel with ultra-thin bezels on all sides, aiming for a sleek and immersive look.
Launch Timeline
Since Qualcomm is expected to announce the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 by the end of September, rumors suggest the Xiaomi 16 could debut before the month ends.
Until then, more leaks and renders are likely to surface, giving us a clearer picture of Xiaomi’s upcoming flagship.
Verdict
If these leaks turn out to be true, the Xiaomi 16 could offer a perfect mix of power, cameras, and battery life. A massive 6,500mAh+ battery with flagship performance and triple 50MP cameras makes it a highly anticipated launch in the premium segment.
