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.
