Xiaomi 16 specs leak

Vlad, 30 May 2025

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.

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.
