Xiaomi 16 Specs Leak Reveals Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, Triple 50MP Cameras & Massive Battery

The upcoming Xiaomi 16 is once again making headlines, thanks to a fresh specs leak from reliable tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo. The latest details point to a powerful flagship with top-tier hardware and a refined design.

According to the leak, the Xiaomi 16 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 / Elite 2 processor, Qualcomm’s next-generation flagship chip expected to be unveiled in late September 2025. This aligns with earlier speculation that Xiaomi would be among the first to launch a phone with this cutting-edge SoC.

Triple 50MP Camera Setup

The Xiaomi 16 is rumored to feature a triple 50MP rear camera system, including:

A main sensor with 1/1.3" size for high-quality imaging,

An ultrawide lens for broader shots,

A telemacro camera, though it's unclear whether this will be a periscope-style zoom lens.

While previous leaks suggested a periscope camera might be included, this latest information doesn't confirm it — leaving room for speculation on the phone's true zoom capabilities.

Huge Battery and Sleek Display

One of the standout features could be the battery capacity, reportedly over 6,500 mAh — a massive boost for a flagship phone. Combined with power efficiency from the new Snapdragon chip, this could deliver outstanding battery life.

The device is also tipped to sport a 6.3-inch flat OLED display with ultra-thin bezels, offering a clean and modern look.

 Possible Launch Before October

With Qualcomm expected to officially announce the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 / Elite 2 by the end of September 2025, Xiaomi may reveal the Xiaomi 16 series around the same time or shortly before. Given Xiaomi’s history of launching new flagships early, this timeline seems likely.
