Xiaomi 16 leak reveals screen size and massive 7,000mAh battery

Xiaomi 16 leak reveals screen size and massive 7,000mAh battery

India Today05-06-2025
Even though we're still months away from the rumoured launch of the Xiaomi 16 series, new leaks are already giving us a pretty good idea of what to expect. The phone is expected to be the successor to the Xiaomi 15 — a device that launched in India just a few months ago. And yet, fresh information about its features and hardware continues to surface online. The latest scoop comes from tipster Digital Chat Station, who claims that the Xiaomi 16 will feature a 6.3x-inch display. We speculate this could be the same 6.36-inch AMOLED panel used on the Xiaomi 15. The leak also brings more clarity on the phone's battery — and it looks like we're in for a serious upgrade.advertisementEarlier leaks had hinted at a battery larger than 6,500mAh, and now Digital Chat Station has specifically mentioned a 7,000mAh cell under the hood. That's a significant jump compared to most flagships on the market today. To put that into perspective — the just-released OnePlus 13s already features a 6.3-inch screen paired with a 6,000mAh battery. So, Xiaomi going even bigger with battery capacity by the end of the year doesn't feel far-fetched. Technology is clearly moving fast, and battery innovation — especially with silicon carbon cells — seems to be gaining momentum. It's high time Apple and Samsung also joined the bandwagon.As for performance, the Xiaomi 16 is expected to be powered by Qualcomm's next-gen Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip, which will likely be announced during the Snapdragon Summit later this September. This would make it the direct successor to the current Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, which powers the Xiaomi 15 and many other current Android flagships. While there's a chance that Xiaomi could even potentially use its own Xring 01 chip — the same one that's in the Xiaomi 15s Pro and Pad 7 Ultra — it seems more likely the company will stick with Qualcomm's top-end silicon for this one.advertisement
The camera system on the Xiaomi 16 is also said to feature three 50-megapixel sensors — a primary lens, an ultra-wide lens, and a telephoto lens with macro support. Nothing wildly different from the Xiaomi 15 on paper, but we'll likely see improvements in processing and software.All in all, the Xiaomi 16 looks like it'll be a compact flagship phone with some serious battery muscle — possibly the biggest in its class if this 7,000mAh rumour turns out to be true. If Xiaomi follows the same release pattern as last year, we can expect the Xiaomi 16, 16 Pro, and 16 Ultra to be unveiled in China by October, with an India launch likely around March 2026.Stay tuned to India Today Tech for all the latest on the Xiaomi 16 series.

Qualcomm Slides After Posting Lackluster Phone Chip Sales

(Bloomberg) -- Qualcomm Inc., the biggest maker of chips that run smartphones, fell in late trading after reporting lackluster growth in that market, fueling concerns that tariffs will take a toll on the industry. Phone-related sales rose 7% to $6.33 billion in the fiscal third quarter, which ended June 29, Qualcomm said in a statement Wednesday. The average analyst estimate was $6.48 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The results add to broader fears that a chip growth resurgence is under threat. In recent days, chipmakers such as Texas Instruments Inc. and Intel Corp. gave cautious outlooks, triggering concern that a sales rebound will be short-lived. Qualcomm shares fell more than 6% in late trading following Wednesday's announcement. Heading into the earnings report, the chipmaker's stock had already lagged a general rally by semiconductor stocks this year. Arm Holdings Plc, another chip technology provider that serves the smartphone industry, also reported results on Wednesday. Its shares declined after a profit forecast came in below estimates, hurt by spending on new products. Qualcomm's revenue in the quarter ending in September will be $10.3 billion to $11.1 billion, the San Diego-based company said. That compares with an average analyst estimates of $10.6 billion. Third-quarter profit was $2.77 a share, excluding some items. Revenue gained 10% to $10.37 billion. Wall Street had predicted a profit of $2.72 a share and sales of $10.33 billion. Revenue from chips used in vehicles rose 21% to $984 million. Connected-device semiconductor sales, meanwhile, climbed 24% to $1.68 billion. Qualcomm supplies processors and modems that are the main components of the world's most advanced smartphones. The chipmaker also collects fees calculated as a percentage of the cost of a handset, regardless of whether the phone maker uses its chips. An ongoing challenge for Qualcomm is Apple Inc.'s decision to make its own modem chips for the iPhone. Qualcomm has told investors to expect its supplies in the device to be fully replaced, but delays in the development of an Apple part have lengthened this transition. Apple currently has an in-house modem in one of its iPhones, the low-end 16e. (Updates shares starting in fourth paragraph.) More stories like this are available on

iPhone 18 could be a flip phone! Apple's first foldable tipped for 2026 with eye-watering price tag

Apple 's first foldable tipped for 2026: Apple is reportedly preparing to enter the foldable phone race finally after all these years. While Samsung, Huawei, and Motorola have all announced folding smartphones, Apple has remained silent. However, that silence may come to an end in 2026 with the rumored release of the iPhone Fold, which is expected to debut alongside the iPhone 18 lineup. Apple appears to be on track to shake up the foldable market, with revenue projections in the billions.

If Apple keeps using the same naming system, the device might come out at the same time as the iPhone 18 series. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Bolivia: Bathroom Remodeling Trends in 2025 May Surprise You Bathroom Remodeling | Search Ads Search Now Undo What will Apple's foldable be like compared to Samsung's? People think that Apple's rumored foldable device will look like Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold series, which is shaped like a book. It will probably have a 5.5-inch outer screen and a 7.8-inch inner display, making it one of the biggest iPhones ever. One big plus? Apple may have figured out how to get rid of the ugly crease that Samsung's foldables have. Reports say that Apple is working on a folding screen that doesn't have any creases, which would be a big step forward in foldable technology, as per a report by the Daily Mail. Live Events ALSO READ: iOS 18.6 is live — change these 10 hidden settings now to supercharge your iPhone Samsung's new Galaxy Z Fold 7 has an 8-inch inner display, but it still has a crease and a starting price that is very close to what Apple is said to be planning. Why does the iPhone Fold cost so much? That new idea won't be cheap. Chatterjee says that the foldable iPhone could come out with a starting price of $1,999, which is about $1,000 more than the base model of Apple's current flagship phone, the iPhone 16 Pro. Even the 1TB iPhone 16 Pro Max, which costs $1,599 and is Apple's most expensive phone, doesn't come close. This price isn't too far off from what other things are selling for right now. Depending on the amount of storage, Samsung's foldables cost between $1,999 and $2,419. Apple's high-end customers might be willing to pay a lot for something new, especially if it has big design improvements. What Features Could Set the iPhone Fold Apart? The iPhone Fold is expected to have all the features that Apple fans love, plus maybe a little more power, in addition to the foldable display. We don't know the final hardware specs yet, but people are very excited about them. Chatterjee says that Apple's new foldable could bring in an amazing $65 billion in sales, which would give the tech giant a "high-single-digit" boost in earnings over the next few years. He thinks that shipments will start off slowly, with sales in the "low teens" of millions by 2027 and then grow to 45 million units by 2029. Apple's entry could change the way foldable phones work. This move, which many people have been waiting for, is still a big change for Apple. The company is well-known for being cautious about changes to form factors. But Apple is the only company that can make foldable smartphones as popular as touchscreens. FAQs Will the iPhone 18 be foldable? According to reports, the iPhone 18 could include Apple's first foldable model, which is expected to launch in 2026. How much will the iPhone Fold cost? Analysts predict that the foldable iPhone will cost $1,999, making it Apple's most expensive phone yet.

Electronics exports from India likely safe from US tariff hike—for now

Indian exporters of electronics products, such as smartphones, laptops, servers, tablets etc, are unlikely to be affected immediately by the latest US duties. The products fall under the Section 232 tariffs that are going to come up for review in the coming weeks, officials aware of the details told ET. As of now, electronics exporters don't pay any duties for sending shipments to the US. "Until the 232 tariffs are announced, there won't be any impact on exports of smartphones like that of Apple, Samsung, Motorola etc to the US," said a person privy to the details.
