Xiaomi 16 may arrive with Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, massive 6800mAh battery and more

Xiaomi 15

Xiaomi seems to be getting ready to launch its next big smartphone — the Xiaomi 16 — and it could be one of the most powerful phones we’ve seen yet. While Xiaomi hasn’t made anything official, a popular tipster who goes by the name Smart Pikachu has shared some exciting details.

According to the leak, the Xiaomi 16 could be the first phone to come with a brand-new processor called the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2. Another big highlight is the huge 6,800mAh battery, which should easily last more than a day on a single charge. It’s also said to support 100W fast charging, so it won’t take long to power up. To give you an idea, last year’s Xiaomi 15 had a 5,400mAh battery, and most phones with similar screen sizes don’t come close to this battery size.

Even with the big battery, the Xiaomi 16 is expected to be thin and light, which is good news for those who don’t like bulky phones.

The phone is likely to come with a 6.3-inch flat screen that has very slim borders on all sides.. It may also run the latest Android 16 with Xiaomi’s own updated software.

For those who love taking photos, the Xiaomi 16 is said to have a 50-megapixel triple camera setup, including a special zoom lens that helps take clear pictures even from far away.

Xiaomi might also launch the Xiaomi 16 Pro along with it later this year, while the more advanced Xiaomi 16 Ultra could arrive early next year.

If these details turn out to be true, the Xiaomi 16 could be a great pick for anyone looking for a powerful phone with long battery life and a solid camera.
