Xiaomi 16 series leak reveals it's bringing back the secondary display
The Xiaomi 16 series is rumored to debut in China next month. While the company has yet to confirm any official details, a new leak hints at the return of a feature last seen on the Xiaomi 11 Ultra.
Leaked images, allegedly of the Xiaomi 16 Pro Max, reveal a redesigned rear camera module that appears to house a secondary display. The images, shared by tipster Ishan Agarwal, suggest Xiaomi may be reviving one of its most distinctive design elements.
The leaked images show a prominent horizontal camera module on the back of the alleged Xiaomi 16 Pro model. The module features two vertically aligned sensors on the left and appears to house a secondary display that reminds us of the Xiaomi 11 Ultra.
Below the module sits a third camera alongside an LED flash. Notably, the overall design also resembles the rumored camera layout of the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro series.
It’s also possible that the Xiaomi 16 is merely adopting the rumored design of the iPhone 17 Pro, and may not actually feature a secondary display. For now, we’ll have to wait until Xiaomi begins its official teasers or makes the formal announcement.

If the display is big , I'm sold. Always nicer to take a picture with main cams, rather than the selfie.

Xiaomi should have retained the back LCD display as that would render inferior front cam obsolete for selfies. The rear display is really useful for selfies with main cams just like the foldable phones.
