Xiaomi's next number series smartphones, the "16" lineup, will launch later this year. However, instead of the regular trio, it seems like the Chinese smartphone brand is looking to introduce a new member to the family.
Prolific leaker Digital Chat Station has shared some details about the upcoming Xiaomi 16 series, including its display and camera information. And from the looks of it, Xiaomi could announce four devices in the lineup – one standard model, two Pro models, and one Ultra.
The base Xiaomi 16 could launch with the same 6.3-inch display as that on the Xiaomi 15. However, there could be two models of the Xiaomi 16 Pro this time, one with a 6.3-inch screen and another with a 6.8-inch display.
If we go by previous leaks, the smaller 6.3-inch display could belong to the Xiaomi 16 Pro Mini while the Xiaomi 16 Pro could sport the larger 6.8-inch screen. However, if we go by tipster Yogesh Brar, his post on X says a different story.
Xiaomi 16 lineup this year
— Yogesh Brar (@heyitsyogesh) July 1, 2025
- Xiaomi 16: 6.36" + Telephoto
- Xiaomi 16 Pro: 6.36" + periscope
- Xiaomi 16 Pro Max: 6.83" + periscope
Four devices in the flagship lineup is getting uniform across all brands..
Xiaomi 16 & Pro Max for India?
According to Brar, the Xiaomi 16 Pro will launch with a 6.3-inch display, and the 6.8-inch screen could be part of a new Xiaomi 16 Pro Max model. This new device will also reportedly offer a periscope telephoto sensor and a rear mini display. So, the new device can be either the Xiaomi 16 Pro Mini or the 16 Pro Max. At the time of writing, we are not sure which one will finally materialise later this year.
Additionally, Digital Chat Station also shared an image of what looks like the camera protectors for the Xiaomi 16 lineup. It features a big camera matrix design, which is on par with what was leaked previously. The design is eerily similar to the upcoming iPhone 17 series, whose CAD renders are already circulating online. However, only time will tell how well they will materialise in reality.
Other than that, the entire Xiaomi 16 series will reportedly sport the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 SoC and will launch by the end of Q3 2025 or the start of Q4 2025. A previous leak revealed a 7,000mAh battery on the Xiaomi 16. So, expect the other variants to pack bigger battery capacities compared to the Xiaomi 15 models.
With that being said, nothing is official yet. So, take this development with a grain of salt and stay tuned to Beebom Gadgets for more updates on the Xiaomi 16 lineup.
