Xiaomi 16 specs leaked, performance and camera seem to be in focus
It's crazy that we're even talking about the Xiaomi 16 series this early, but that's just how things move in the internet age. Following the recently leaked render of the Xiaomi 16, fresh details have now emerged regarding the phone's specs and features. If you're unaware, we're talking about a phone expected to succeed the Xiaomi 15 — a device that only launched in India a couple of months ago. Even if we consider the Xiaomi 15's original China launch, which happened in October last year, and assume Xiaomi sticks to a similar timeline for the 16 series this year — we're still discussing details of a phone that's at least five months away from becoming to Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the Xiaomi 16 will likely be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip — the spiritual successor to the current-gen 8 Elite processor. This isn't surprising, considering the Xiaomi 15 runs on the 8 Elite, so it's only logical the next model will move to the next-gen version. Qualcomm is expected to unveil the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 at the company's Snapdragon Summit, which is scheduled to take place between September 23 and 25. That said, Xiaomi has also recently introduced its own in-house chip — the Xring 01 — which currently powers the 15s Pro and Pad 7 Ultra. So, the possibility of the Xiaomi 16 using company's own chip can't be ruled out either. Again, this is purely speculative, and realistically, the Xiaomi 16 will most likely continue with the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 interesting detail is the rumoured battery capacity. Reports suggest that the Xiaomi 16 could pack a battery of over 6,500mAh. Early leaks even hint at the possibility of a 7,000mAh unit under the hood. Following the trend in the industry, this will probably be a silicon carbon battery — something we've started seeing more brands adopt for better energy density and efficiency. In the camera department, the Xiaomi 16 is expected to feature a triple rear camera setup. This includes a 50-megapixel primary sensor (reportedly 1/1.3-inch in size), a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel telephoto camera with macro functionality. The display is also said to be similar to the one on the Xiaomi 15 — a 6.32-inch panel, likely AMOLED with 12-bit colour support and an adaptive 1–120Hz refresh mentioned earlier, if Xiaomi sticks to its usual launch cycle, we can expect the Xiaomi 16, 16 Pro, and 16 Ultra to debut in China sometime in October. As for the Indian launch, it's safe to assume we'll see the Xiaomi 16 series arrive around March 2026. For context, the Xiaomi 15 was launched in India this past March and is currently available in a single 12GB RAM + 512GB storage variant, priced at Rs 64,999.

Xiaomi 16 specs leak
The Xiaomi 16 has a new round of leaked specs to speak of, courtesy of the prolific Weibo account Digital Chat Station. According to him, the phone will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset, and will have three 50 MP rear cameras: a main one with a 1/1.3" type sensor, an ultrawide, and a telemacro. The phone will allegedly have a battery over 6,500 mAh in capacity, and a 6.3-inch flat OLED panel with thin bezels on all sides. None of these specs is unexpected, perhaps only the fact that the telemacro isn't specifically called out as a periscope - the Xiaomi 16 was previously rumored to be getting one of those. Xiaomi 16 leaked illustrative render Since Qualcomm is making the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 official at the end of September, don't be surprised if the Xiaomi 16 will also be unveiled before that month ends. In the meantime, we'll surely be hearing much more about it, so stay tuned. Source (in Chinese) | Image source
