Recent rumors suggest the Xiaomi 16 will feature a slightly larger display, potentially around 6.39 inches, with minimal noticeable difference from its predecessor’s 6.36-inch screen. The new display aims to be aesthetically superior, with ultra-thin bezels and enhanced eye protection. Additionally, the smartphone is expected to include a triple rear camera system, highlighted by a 50 MP main sensor and a periscope telephoto camera. The device promises a thin profile combined with the largest battery in its segment, speculated to exceed 6,270 mAh. It will run HyperOS 3.0, based on Android 16, likely launching in October.
Back in March, there were rumors indicating that the Xiaomi 16 would feature a larger display compared to its predecessor’s 6.36-inch screen. While that speculation didn’t specify an exact size for the upcoming model, a new report from China suggests otherwise, claiming that the Xiaomi 16’s display will still be in the 6.3″ range.
This could mean a size of up to 6.39″, which is technically larger than 6.36″, but barely enough to be noticeable. Regardless, this latest rumor suggests that the upcoming screen will be remarkably beautiful and compact, boasting extremely slim bezels and eye protection features that are said to place it “far ahead” of competitors.

Additionally, the phone is expected to include a triple rear camera setup featuring a 50 MP main sensor. Previous reports also indicated that the Xiaomi 16 would come with a periscope telephoto camera. The device is rumored to be very slim while housing the largest battery of any phone in its category.
This claim is particularly intriguing, especially considering that OnePlus recently launched the 13T, which features a 6.32″ display and a 6,260 mAh battery. For the Xiaomi 16’s claim to hold true, its battery would need to be at least 6,270 mAh. If accurate, this is certainly exciting news. The Xiaomi 16 is expected to launch with HyperOS 3.0, likely based on Android 16, which Google plans to unveil by the end of June. So, with the Xiaomi 16 likely debuting in October, the timeline appears to align.
