The latest leaks from China reveal a significant camera upgrade for the Xiaomi 16 series. According to reliable sources, the device will feature a periscope telephoto lens, a feature reserved for Xiaomi’s flagship models.
Xiaomi 16 series comes with advanced zoom features
This will be a significant upgrade compared to the Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro, which use a standard telephoto lens instead of the periscope system found on competing flagships from brands like vivo and OPPO.
For those who don’t know, the periscope lens offers more advanced optical zoom capabilities compared to telephoto. Rumor has it that the entire Xiaomi 16 family, including the 16, 16 Pro and 16 Ultra, will benefit from this camera upgrade. This will provide a significant improvement for zoom compared to the Xiaomi 15 series.
A new study from Case Western Reserve University has shown that zinc batteries outperform lithium-ion batteries.
While the Xiaomi 15 Pro includes a periscope lens, it is also planned to extend this feature to the standard Xiaomi 16. This will strengthen the photographic capabilities of the entire flagship lineup.
If the rumors are true, this could be a significant improvement in the smartphone’s zoom capabilities. As is well known, periscope lenses offer superior optical zoom by bending the light path at a 90-degree angle. They also provide a wide zoom range without compromising image quality, taking the photography experience to the next level.
