Xiaomi 16 Series Leak Hints at Pro Mini Model; 50MP Selfie Camera and September Launch Tipped

Xiaomi's next flagship, the Xiaomi 16, is already in development. While the brand has yet to reveal details of the upcoming flagship, rumours suggest that the Xiaomi 16 series could debut in China by the end of September.

Now, the recent info by tipster Digital Chat Station reveals the Xiaomi 16 series will include a total of three models - Xiaomi 16, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Mini (tentative name). Moreover, the same tipster has shared a few details about the upcoming smartphones. Let's dive into the details.

Xiaomi 16 Series Leak

According to the latest leak, the Xiaomi 16 series will feature a 50MP front-facing camera. However, the tipster hasn't mentioned anything if all the models have the same selfie camera.

The Xiaomi 16 Pro Mini is tipped to come with a larger main camera sensor, a periscope telephoto lens, and support for wireless charging. However, its prototype reportedly houses a smaller battery compared to the standard Xiaomi 16. He also says this is not final, as the company is still working on refining the hardware.

The standard Xiaomi 16 is also said to be a more appealing option for users, which will offer a very balanced experience with a large battery. Moreover, the Xiaomi 16 Pro Mini is expected to sport a 6.3-inch screen, the standard Xiaomi 16 a 6.5-inch panel, and the Xiaomi 16 Pro a larger 6.8-inch display. All three devices in the lineup are said to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip. Apart from this, nothing is known at this moment.

Xiaomi 16 Series Launch (Expected)

As noted, the Xiaomi 16 series will likely go official by September in its homegrown market, while it will make their way in the global markets next year. Xiaomi is also expected to expand the lineup in 2026 with the launch of the Xiaomi 16 Ultra and Xiaomi 16S Pro.
