The upcoming Xiaomi 16 is generating buzz with rumors suggesting a significant enhancement in its camera capabilities.
According to reports from China, the standard model of the Xiaomi 16 will be equipped with a periscope telephoto lens, marking a notable upgrade from its predecessor, the Xiaomi 15.

This feature is a first for Xiaomi's standard flagship series, which has long been anticipated given the competitive market landscape. While the Xiaomi 16 aims to catch up with rivals, the specifics of what other brands like vivo, with their X300, and Oppo's Find X9 will bring remain to be seen.
If these rumors materialize, the entire Xiaomi 16 lineup—including the 16, 16 Pro, and 16 Ultra—could potentially incorporate this advanced periscope zoom technology.
