Xiaomi 16 grabs a certification on its way to launch
Vlad, 08 July 2025 The Xiaomi 16 has been rumored to launch in China by the end of September, right after Qualcomm unveils the chipset that will be powering it. The phone has now received the EEC certification, ahead of its global launch. It's unclear when that will take place - its predecessor was introduced to international markets this February at MWC, but if the Xiaomi 16 launches in China in September, waiting five months for it to make its global debut is stretching things quite a lot, so perhaps Xiaomi will change things this time around - it remains to be seen. The certification reveals the Xiaomi 16's model number for global markets, which is 25113PN0EG. The Chinese model will have a "C" at the end instead of the "G", while the Indian model - you guessed it - will end in "I". According to previous rumors and leaks, the Xiaomi 16 will have a massive 7,000 mAh battery, a 6.3" to 6.39" flat OLED display, and three 50 MP cameras on the rear (including a main with a 1/1.3" type sensor and a periscope telephoto).

Xiaomi And Leica Ending Their Partnership? Here's What The Company Has Said
Last Updated: Xiaomi and Leica have partnered to make premium phone cameras in the last few years but will that deal end soon? The company has shared its response. Xiaomi and Leica have partnered for a range of premium phones in the last few years and a report this week suggested the tie up may soon come to an end. However, the company has now rubbished those rumours, and clarified that all is well between the two giants and will continue their association for years. 'Recent rumors suggesting the end of our collaboration are entirely unfounded. Both companies remain committed to deepening this strategic partnership and bringing even more innovative imaging solutions to Xiaomi smartphones," a Xiaomi spokesperson shared the statement with News18 Tech on Tuesday. 'Together, Xiaomi and Leica have collaborated closely to integrate advanced optics and imaging technologies into Xiaomi devices, delivering industry-leading mobile photography experiences to users around the world. This partnership continues to thrive, grounded in a shared vision of pushing the boundaries of mobile imaging," the company added in the statement. The tipster even suggested this development could benefit Redmi and Poco, as Xiaomi looks to up the ante with its hardware production cost now being more manageable. We are glad that Xiaomi will continue to work with Leica for its products and excited to see how the tie up delivers more premium devices in the near future with the Xiaomi 16 series launch widely expected before the end of the year.

Xiaomi affirms ongoing collaboration with Leica amidst rumours: Know more
Chinese smartphone brand Xiaomi has clarified that it has no plans to end its long-standing partnership with German optics company Leica. The announcement follows multiple reports suggesting that Xiaomi would remove Leica branding from its upcoming flagship smartphones, including the anticipated Xiaomi 16 series. In response, a Xiaomi spokesperson called the claims 'entirely unfounded.' In a statement to Business Standard, Xiaomi spokesperson said: 'Together, Xiaomi and Leica have collaborated closely to integrate advanced optics and imaging technologies into Xiaomi devices, delivering industry-leading mobile photography experiences to users around the world. This partnership continues to thrive, grounded in a shared vision of pushing the boundaries of mobile imaging. Recent rumours suggesting the end of our collaboration are entirely unfounded. Both companies remain committed to deepening this strategic partnership and bringing even more innovative imaging solutions to Xiaomi smartphones." This is in response to the reports claiming that Xiaomi's upcoming flagships, including the Xiaomi 16 series, as well as high-end Redmi and POCO devices, would not feature co-engineered camera systems from partners like Leica. These reports suggested that Xiaomi was planning to reallocate licensing fees toward hardware upgrades, including better camera sensors and improvements in computational photography. It was also speculated that Xiaomi and its sub-brands would shift to using proprietary imaging technologies or adopt in-house colour tuning similar to Huawei, which ended its collaboration with Leica in 2022 to develop its own 'XMAGE' camera system. While Xiaomi has firmly denied these rumours, other smartphone brands appear to be reevaluating their camera collaborations. Last month, 9To5Google reported that OnePlus may be ending its partnership with Swedish camera brand Hasselblad, with its upcoming flagship expected to drop the Hasselblad branding altogether.

Xiaomi 16 series may skip Leica cameras for in-house imaging tech: Report
Xiaomi is reportedly ending its Leica partnership to cut licensing costs and invest in upgraded sensors, better image processing, and in-house colour tuning Harsh Shivam New Delhi Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi is reportedly planning to end its long-standing partnership with German optics brand Leica. According to a report by GizmoChina, Xiaomi's next-generation flagship devices—including the anticipated Xiaomi 16 series—and high-end Redmi and POCO smartphones will no longer feature any external branding such as Leica logos. The report claims that co-branding with Leica added between $3 and $5 per device in licensing fees, in addition to other authorisation costs. Xiaomi now reportedly plans to redirect these expenses into improving hardware, particularly camera sensors and computational photography capabilities on its smartphones. Furthermore, Xiaomi and Redmi devices may begin using proprietary imaging technologies or customised colour tuning developed in-house. This shift is expected to significantly enhance camera performance on Redmi smartphones, with image processing inspired by Xiaomi's flagship devices. It is worth noting that, as of now, the Leica partnership is exclusive to premium Xiaomi smartphones and does not include any Redmi or POCO models. This move reflects a broader industry trend, where smartphone makers are gradually moving away from third-party imaging collaborations. For instance, China's Huawei ended its long-term partnership with Leica back in 2022 to focus on its proprietary 'XMAGE' camera system. Similarly, it was reported last month that OnePlus may be ending its partnership with Swedish camera company Hasselblad. According to 9To5Google, the upcoming OnePlus flagship series models may drop Hasselblad branding altogether.
