According to a report by Kuai Technology on September 6th， blogger iIce Universe has revealed front renders of the Xiaomi 16， stating that the Xiaomi 16 is the flagship device with the narrowest equal bezels in history.
The same blogger previously disclosed that the black border of the Xiaomi 16 panel measures 1mm， a reduction from the Xiaomi 15’s 1.38mm bezels. This further sets a new industry record for Xiaomi and promises a significantly improved visual experience.
According to insider information， the Xiaomi 16 series will adopt a new LIPO packaging process. LIPO， which stands for “Low Injection Pressure Overmolding，” involves using high-viscosity liquid material to encapsulate the wiring areas， thereby eliminating the need for buffer protection zones. This innovation allows for extremely narrow bezels， leading to a superior visual experience. Furthermore， the LIPO packaging offers enhanced protection and consistency.
The Xiaomi 16 series has already received its 3C certification. This series will be among the first to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen5 flagship processor. This new processor utilizes Qualcomm’s proprietary Oryon CPU， comprised of two large cores and six performance cores， and integrates the Adreno 840 GPU， with its independent GPU cache upgraded to 16MB. The adoption of this cutting-edge processor signifies a substantial leap in raw processing power and graphical capabilities for the Xiaomi 16.
It is worth noting that Qualcomm is scheduled to host its Snapdragon Summit from September 23rd to September 25th， during which the flagship platform， Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen5， will be officially unveiled. The Xiaomi 16 series is expected to make its formal debut shortly after the conclusion of the Snapdragon Summit， positioning it as a direct contender in the premium smartphone market segment.
