Chinese technology company Xiaomi is finalizing preparations for the release of a new flagship smartphone — Xiaomi 16 Pro Max. The device will become a key representative of the future line focused on the premium segment, and will be equipped with a number of technical solutions aimed at competing with leading manufacturers of mobile electronics.
According to industry sources, Xiaomi 16 Pro Max will receive a triple main camera module, each sensor will have a resolution of 50 megapixels. The main sensor-SmartSens 590 1/1.28-inch optical format - will be equipped with support for LOFIC 2.0 technology, designed to expand the dynamic range and improve shooting in variable lighting conditions. The periscope module will receive a 1/1. 95-inch sensor and provide 5x optical zoom.
The model will be equipped with a 7,500 mAh battery that supports 100-watt fast charging. This will be one of the most capacious batteries among the flagships in 2025. The hardware platform is built on the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 processor, a chipset designed for premium smartphones with a focus on artificial intelligence, energy efficiency, and image processing. The operating system will be Android 16, supplemented with the proprietary HyperOS version 3.0 shell, which includes updated interface adaptation algorithms and improved mechanisms for working with large screens.
According to the established practice, Xiaomi presents its flagships among the first after the presentation of new processors from Qualcomm. Given the fact that Qualcomm has scheduled the announcement of its platform for the second half of September, the official premiere of the Xiaomi 16 line, including the Pro Max, may take place at the end of September or in October of this year.
Against the background of growing competition in the segment of Android flagships, Xiaomi is striving not only to strengthen its position in China, but also to strengthen its influence in international markets. In particular, the focus is on improving mobile photography, power consumption of devices and integration with smart home ecosystems, which is in line with the company's long-term strategy of moving from a smartphone manufacturer to a provider of integrated digital solutions.
