The countdown for the Xiaomi 16 series has started, and developments about the models are unfolding day by day. According to reliable sources, the Xiaomi 16 Pro model is expected to be inspired by a key feature used in Apple’s iPhones.
Xiaomi 16 Pro will come with a customizable button
Renowned for industry leaks, Digital Chat Station claims that the Xiaomi 16 Pro will feature a customizable button. Although it’s not confirmed, it’s rumored that this button could be used for various functions, such as AI, camera shutter, pressure-sensitive gaming button, or mute.
In short, the button allegedly featured in the Xiaomi 16 Pro is expected to resemble the Action button found in Apple’s latest iPhone models. However, all of this remains speculative, and it would be more accurate to wait for an official announcement from the company.
In addition, the source claims the phone will be powered by a 7,000 mAh battery and will sport a 3D printed metal frame. The series is expected to launch in October.
