A source says the smartphone will have the narrowest symmetrical bezels and the most rounded screen corners in the history of cell phones. The manufacturer claims they’ll be even more rounded than the iPhone 17 Pro.
If you’re a little confused about the lineup’s positioning, the scheme is simple: the Xiaomi 16 and Xiaomi 16 Pro share the same compact size, but the Pro comes equipped with more advanced hardware. And the Pro Max, in turn, will become a larger version of the Pro. This approach has already been used by Google, Apple and vivo, and now Xiaomi has also decided to offer users a compact smartphone with top-notch specs.
