- Xiaomi 16 Ultra and Xiaomi Pro Overview: Rumors and speculations about the upcoming flagship.
The Xiaomi 16 Ultra and Pro Series are launching soon.
Even prior to its official debut, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is creating a stir in China, with conversations already pivoting towards the brand’s upcoming 16 flagship series. Speculation suggests that the Xiaomi 16 Pro and Xiaomi 16 Ultra will showcase a breathtaking 6.85-inch LTPO OLED display, featuring a remarkable “2K+” resolution.
As Samsung and Apple gear up to unveil their latest flagship devices, probably near the end of year 2025, a recent leak suggests that Xiaomi is set to introduce a smartphone featuring an enormous battery, nearly double the current average. Could this groundbreaking advantage reshape the landscape of the mobile market?
What to Anticipate
Following the anticipated release of the Apple iPhone 18 and the Galaxy S26, a new contender appears poised to disrupt the market with a significant move. Chinese tech powerhouse Xiaomi is set to unveil a groundbreaking device featuring an enormous battery, aimed at directly competing with the industry’s leading giants.
The latest reports reveal that the Xiaomi 16 device, which is scheduled to be unveiled next year, may boast a battery of no less than 7,000 mAh per hour. This is unprecedented capacity in the flagship device category, almost double the average capacity in premium devices today, and a figure that can give users a very significant advantage while using between charges.
The leak, which comes from a well-known source on the Chinese social network Weibo, raises a lot of curiosity about how Xiaomi intends to take advantage of this advantage to compete with Samsung and Apple, whose current devices come with significantly lower capacity batteries. Moreover, despite the powerful battery, it seems that Xiaomi aims to maintain compact dimensions for the Xiaomi 16 device, similar to the current generation, which can be a significant advantage in itself.
If Xiaomi succeeds in implementing these plans and releasing to the market a compact flagship device with a 7,000 mAh battery at a competitive price, it could pose a real threat to the hegemony of Samsung and Apple in the global smartphone market, and attract users looking for a solution to the battery life issue without compromising on performance.
If history is any guide, we can anticipate the announcement of the Xiaomi 16 Pro alongside the smaller Xiaomi 16 in October, with the Xiaomi 16 Ultra likely to debut approximately a year later. All three models are expected to feature the successor to the Snapdragon 8 Elite, as named by Qualcomm. The Ultra model, undoubtedly positioned as the premier photography flagship, has us eager to see how it will push the boundaries further than the already remarkable Xiaomi 15 Ultra, as hinted by various leaks and rumors.
