. It is said to come with a 6.3-inch flat OLED display. The screen is tipped to feature thin bezels on all four sides. The phone could ship with Android 16 with Xiaomi’s HyperOS 3.0 interface. The preceding Xiaomi 15 runs on the company’s HyperOS 2.0 skin for Android.

Xiaomi 16 is expected to run on Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset. The chipmaker will release the SoC at the Snapdragon Summit, scheduled for late September; the Xiaomi 16 series is believed to be the first to ship with this chipset.

The handset is said to feature a triple rear camera unit comprising a 50-megapixel 1/1.3-inch main camera, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide sensor, and a 50-megapixel telephoto sensor with macro support. The existing Xiaomi 15 model has a similar camera setup.

Further, Xiaomi 16 is said to pack a battery unit with more than 6,500mAh capacity. This would be a considerable upgrade over Xiaomi 15’s 5,240mAh battery (Indian variant). The ******** variant of the phone comes with a 5,400mAh battery.

Xiaomi is rumoured to launch the Xiaomi 16 series in late September or early October in China. The phone’s global launch may take place a few months later, likely early next year.

Xiaomi 15 was released in China in October last year alongside the Xiaomi 15 Pro. The handset landed in the Indian market in March 2025 with an initial price tag of Rs. 64,999 for the 12GB RAM + 512GB storage configuration.
