According to a new rumor out of China, the Xiaomi 16 will be the first device to launch with the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset on board. This likely will only be the Chinese launch, mind you, and the exclusive is probably only going to last a few days, if that, judging by how these things have taken place in the past.<\/p>\n
What’s perhaps more notable here is that the Xiaomi 16 is allegedly going to get unveiled in September, earlier than its predecessor<\/a> which was only announced in October. This implies Qualcomm will be revealing its next flagship chipset in September too.<\/p>\n The Xiaomi 16 is currently being tested with a gigantic 6,800 mAh battery, and when we say gigantic please bear in mind that while its screen is expected to grow<\/a> compared to the 15’s, it probably won’t do so by much. So it’s very likely to have the biggest battery we’ve ever seen on a device of its size. The battery will also support 100W wired charging, if this rumor turns out to be accurate, of course.<\/p>\n It’s also previously been rumored to sport the best screen for that size<\/a>, which will apparently be far ahead of the competition. The phone will have a 50 MP main camera, and it is rumored to be getting a periscope telephoto as well.<\/p>\n![\"Xiaomi](\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/25\/05\/xiaomi-16-battery-launch-timeline\/inline\/-1200w5\/gsmarena_001.jpg\"\/)
