La Derecha Diario Xiaomi 16: What is known about the smartphone that will compete with Apple and Samsung
The Xiaomi 16 will have a 6,800mAh battery, cutting-edge processor, and OLED screen. It will be released in September
Xiaomi is preparing the launch of its new flagship, the Xiaomi 16, which promises to compete in the high-end range with a battery larger than the average.
Recent leaks anticipate several key changes, including improved performance and autonomy that would put it in competition with the most expensive models on the market.
What is known about the Xiaomi 16 so far?
According to data leaked by the specialized site Phone Arena, the Xiaomi 16 is already in the production phase. Its battery would attract all the attention: it would have a capacity of 6,800mAh, a number that would put it well above the average in the premium segment.
For comparison, the iPhone 16 Pro Max, Apple's most expensive, incorporates a 4,685mAh battery. The leap in autonomy would be significant.
A battery that breaks the average
The battery size is surprising, especially given the screen size of the device: 6.3 inches. Generally, large batteries appear in phones with much larger panels.
The Xiaomi 16 could achieve a good balance between power, portability, and battery life, something that is scarce in the high-end range.
Leaked features of the Xiaomi 16
- Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 (Elite 2) processor, Qualcomm's next high-end chip.
- It would be the first phone to incorporate that processor, with 25% more performance.
- 6.3" OLED screen, with ultra-thin edges.
- Triple camera system, with a main sensor of 50 MP.
- It will come with the Android 16 operating system.
Everything points to the Xiaomi 16 aiming to position itself as a more accessible alternative to Apple or Samsung models, without sacrificing power.
When is the Xiaomi 16 being released?
According to the latest reports, the Xiaomi 16 would be presented in September 2025. This would mean an early launch compared to the previous model, which was released in October last year.
The month also coincides with the possible arrival of the iPhone 17, which would include an ultra-thin version called "Air," and the presentation of new Samsung foldables in August.
