Recent leaks suggest the Xiaomi 16 Pro will sport a modestly bigger screen, measuring around 6.8 inches—potentially stretching to 6.85 inches—compared to the 6.73-inch panel on the Xiaomi 15 Pro. Tipster Smart Pikachu brings welcome relief for fans who weren’t thrilled with the 2024 model’s quad-curved edges, as Xiaomi is opting for a flat display this go-around.
To counter the illusion of thicker bezels that flat screens can create—since curves tend to mask them—Xiaomi plans to trim down the borders on the new model, ensuring it visually matches up to the 15 Pro.
This upgraded panel promises advanced eye-care features practical even at brighter settings, though the specifics remain under wraps.
Earlier reports indicated that both the Xiaomi 16 Pro and 16 Ultra will boast identical 6.85-inch LTPO OLED screens with “2K+” resolution. They’ll run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset, per insiders.
On the front-facing side, the Xiaomi 16 and 16 Pro are set for a boost with a 50MP sensor behind an ultra-wide lens equipped with autofocus, capable of 4K video at 60fps. That’s a step up from the 32MP ultra-wide selfies on the 15 series, which skipped autofocus.
