In September, Xiaomi is expected to unveil the Xiaomi 16 series, which may include three models, such as the Xiaomi 16, Xiaomi 16 Pro Mini (tentative name), and Xiaomi 16 Pro. Since the Xiaomi 15 Ultra was announced in February this year, it is likely that the 16 Ultra may break cover around the same time next year. As per a new Weibo post released by Lu Weibing, Partner and President of Xiaomi Group, as well as the President of the Smartphone Department and General Manager of the Xiaomi brand, the 16 Ultra will set heights in the world of mobile photography.
Xiaomi 16 Ultra promised to deliver top-notch photography experience
In a new Weibo post, Weibing said he was honored to be invited to Shanghai to celebrate Leica’s 100th anniversary. As a special gesture, he presented the Xiaomi 15 Ultra “Centennial Tribute” global limited collector’s gift box to Mr. Kaufmann, Chairman of Leica’s Supervisory Board.
Reflecting on the Xiaomi-Leica partnership, he noted that over the past four years, both companies have collaborated on more than 20 smartphone models. He described the cooperation as both enjoyable and highly productive. Emphasizing the strength of their relationship, he said Xiaomi and Leica have always been close partners and will continue to be so in the future.
He expressed strong confidence that the upcoming Xiaomi 16 Ultra will represent a new milestone in mobile imaging. Meanwhile, tipster Digital Chat Station speculated that since Xiaomi has already started teasing the 16 Ultra, it might even debut earlier than expected, possibly before the end of this year.
Like the Xiaomi 16 series models, the 16 Ultra is expected to feature a flat display. However, it is unclear whether the device will feature the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset or the company’s in-house and forthcoming Xring O2 chip. A recent leak claimed that it may feature a 1-inch 50-megapixel main camera, a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera backed by a 1.28-inch sensor with up to 5x optical zoom, a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-600 ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel front camera. It may pack a 7000mAh to 7500mAh battery.
