The Xiaomi 16 has been rumored to launch in China by the end of September, right after Qualcomm unveils the chipset that will be powering it. The phone has now received the EEC certification, ahead of its global launch.
It’s unclear when that will take place – its predecessor was introduced to international markets this February at MWC, but if the Xiaomi 16 launches in China in September, waiting five months for it to make its global debut is stretching things quite a lot, so perhaps Xiaomi will change things this time around – it remains to be seen.
The certification reveals the Xiaomi 16’s model number for global markets, which is 25113PN0EG. The Chinese model will have a “C” at the end instead of the “G”, while the Indian model – you guessed it – will end in “I”.
According to previous rumors and leaks, the Xiaomi 16 will have a massive 7,000 mAh battery, a 6.3″ to 6.39″ flat OLED display, and three 50 MP cameras on the rear (including a main with a 1/1.3″ type sensor and a periscope telephoto).
