Xiaomi usually launches two flagship devices every fall in China, and typically, one of them — the standard “vanilla” model — gets a global release in February alongside the Ultra variant.

However, this year things are expected to be a little different. Rumors suggest that Xiaomi will introduce three flagship models instead of just two. But don’t confuse this with the Xiaomi 16 Ultra — that’s still planned for a later launch.

This fall, we’re likely to see the Xiaomi 16, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max. The 16 and 16 Pro are expected to share a slightly smaller display size, while the Pro model could pack more premium features and higher-end specs. All three models have already been certified for sale in China, and this certification has also revealed their charging specifications.

All three models are set to support 100W wired charging, a slight bump up from the 90W offered by last year’s Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro. It’s not a massive upgrade, but it’s still a welcome improvement.

Rumors also suggest that all three devices will be powered by Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset, which is expected to be unveiled in late September. Interestingly, Xiaomi is tipped to be the first brand to launch smartphones with this new chip, potentially just a few days after Qualcomm’s announcement.

As for the global launch, it’s likely to happen sometime next year. However, it’s still unclear exactly which of these three models will make it to international markets.
