You might not want to commit to a phone yet – Xiaomi's 16 series could change everything
On the back, the Xiaomi 16 is rumored to rock a 50 MP main sensor with a 1/1.3" type size . The Pro model gets the same but adds "ultra high dynamic range" and a ToF (time-of-flight) sensor, which helps measure depth and distance by firing out light pulses and timing their return. That's great for more accurate focus, better portrait mode shots, and improved AR features.

The leak doesn't reveal anything beyond that. Still, if this information turns out to be true, the upcoming Xiaomi 16 could bring a noticeable boost in camera performance compared to the. It probably won't match the leap we expect from the Xiaomi 16 Ultra, which is set to follow up on the current champion in our camera now, theUltra is neck and neck with the Galaxy S25 Ultra , but the Xiaomi 16 Ultra might push things even further with something truly game-changing – like continuous optical zoom. Basically, if a subject is too far for your 3x zoom but too close for your 5x, you could nail it at 3.5x or 4.1x without losing sharpness.
