The highly anticipated flagship smartphone from Xiaomi, the Xiaomi 16, is set to make its debut later this year. Recent insights from a reputable tipster shed light on the device’s display and battery features, aligning with earlier leaks regarding the upcoming smartphone. The Xiaomi 16 is expected to hit the market in September and could potentially be among the first devices to leverage Qualcomm’s advanced Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset, according to various reports.
Expected Specifications for the Xiaomi 16 Display and Battery
As per the tipster known as Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the Xiaomi 16 will feature a display described as “6.3X,” suggesting a screen size ranging between 6.31 inches and 6.9 inches. Another source had previously noted that the smartphone would likely have a 6.32-inch display.
While the upcoming model’s screen size may not surpass that of the current Xiaomi 15, it is anticipated to incorporate a significantly larger battery. Digital Chat Station reports that the Xiaomi 16 will contain a robust 7,000mAh battery. This new capacity is noticeably greater than the 5,240mAh battery found in Xiaomi’s latest flagship device. This claim is consistent with an earlier leak from April indicating the arrival of a similar battery size. It remains uncertain if the Xiaomi 16 will also feature a thicker profile compared to its predecessor to accommodate this enhanced power source.
With a September launch on the horizon, the Xiaomi 16 is poised to be among the first smartphones equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip, coinciding with Qualcomm’s planned announcement of its new generation processor around the same timeframe.
Anticipated enhancements over the Xiaomi 15 include improvements in various specifications, which currently boasts a 6.36-inch OLED screen, a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, a 50-megapixel triple camera, a 32-megapixel front camera, and a 5,240mAh battery. Further information regarding the Xiaomi 16 is expected to emerge in the weeks leading up to its anticipated launch.
