Xiaomi’s recent rumor mill has begun leaking details about the Xiaomi Mi 16 series of phones. A new leak from a more credible tipster on the Internet talks about the display design and specifications of the Xiaomi Mi 16 Pro.

Although the more credible tipster has not yet explicitly revealed the name of the phone in the above leak, I guess the tipster might be talking about the Xiaomi 16 Pro phone. According to the leak, the Xiaomi 16 Pro phone will adopt a flat design with ultra-thin and uniform bezels. It will be a massive 6.85-inch LTPO OLED panel that offers 2K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.

In the past, Xiaomi has always offered similar displays on its Pro and Ultra flagship models. For example, the Mi 12 Pro and 12s Ultra, the Mi 13 Pro and 13 Ultra, the Mi 14 Pro and Mi 14 Ultra all have the same screen size. The upcoming Mi 16 Ultra is also expected to be equipped with a 6.73-inch display, the same as the Mi 16 Pro.

Given this pattern, the Mi 16 Ultra may also come with a 6.85-inch screen, considering that the Mi 16 Pro is rumored to have a 6.85-inch display.

The more credible tipster had previously claimed that the 2025 flagship phone will have a completely flat design. In a recent leak, he revealed that the entire OPPO Find X9 series, which is said to include four models, will have a flat design. Therefore, it is expected that the Xiaomi Mi 16 Ultra will also have a flat panel.

What LIPO technologies are used in Xiaomi 16 Pro and Ultra?

It is reported that the two high-end models of the Xiaomi 16 series – Xiaomi 16 Pro and Xiaomi 16 Ultra – introduced the “low-pressure jet transition” (Lipo) technology for the first time, pushing the true full-screen design to the limit.

This technology can precisely control the width of the body frame (including the screen edge) to between 1.1 mm and 1.2 mm, and all four frames are extremely narrow and uniform, which further enhances the visual immersion and brings display quality and control experience that traditional curved screens cannot achieve. In addition, this extremely narrow frame design has also been optimized in terms of grip and drop resistance, ensuring that users do not have to worry about the screen being fragile or accidentally touching it while enjoying the ultimate visual experience.

Unlike the four-curved screen solution used on the Xiaomi 15 Pro, the Xiaomi 16 series returns to a full-flat design – this is the first time since the Xiaomi 9 in 2019, and it is also a major turning point in Xiaomi’s design concept. The full-flat screen not only simplifies the connection process between the screen and the middle frame, but also effectively reduces the color distortion caused by light refraction, making the display effect purer and the color reproduction higher.

The current beta version is very close to the final mass production form. The body material, color scheme and detail polishing are all being repeatedly verified. It is expected that no major adjustments will be made during the mass production stage, and we strive to achieve perfection in stability and reliability.

On the surface, the return to flat screens seems to be due to cost considerations; but Xiaomi’s deliberate use of the expensive Lipo process just shows that it attaches more importance to the balance between visual aesthetics and practicality, rather than simply judging success by “cost reduction”.

Lipo technology places higher demands on precision control, material selection, and assembly processes, which means that manufacturers need to invest more resources and energy in R&D and production. It is this innovative spirit at all costs that enables Xiaomi Mi 16 Pro/Ultra to not only ensure the ultimate integration of appearance, but also take into account screen durability and user grip experience, further demonstrating the brand’s persistent pursuit of product quality.

To sum up, with Lipo technology, the Xiaomi 16 series has pushed the full-screen design to a new height, which not only meets the user’s demand for ultimate visual immersion, but also maintains a good balance between craftsmanship and practicality. It can be called a brilliant breakthrough in the field of flagship mobile phone design this year.

This difference can be considered a deliberate division by price range and target audience, or it can be interpreted as a strategic structure that enhances the overall appeal of the series. However, it is still possible that some trend elements will be introduced to the standard model, such as the reduction of bezels, so we have to pay attention to the trends that have been made up before the official announcement.

Finally, the Mi 16 Pro is expected to debut in October this year with the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2. On the other hand, the Mi 16 Ultra model is expected to use the same chip in the first half of 2026.
