The Xiaomi 16 series smartphones are expected to return to a completely flat screen: flagship devices will completely say goodbye to curved displays!

On March 27, news broke from the leaker Kartikey Singh that according to the latest NPI (New Product Introduction) phase...The Xiaomi 16 Pro and 16 Ultra will both feature a flat screen and utilize LTPO technology across the entire series.

Among them, the Xiaomi 16 still maintains a 6.3-inch small screen design, while the Xiaomi 16 Pro and Xiaomi 16 Ultra have slightly increased, changing to 6.8X inches.

This is the first time since the Xiaomi 9 that the entire Xiaomi digital series adopts a flat screen solution, and the top flagship will completely say goodbye to curved screens.

Although the current depth-four curve has achieved a balance in terms of feel and visuals, it still inevitably makes the whole device appear relatively bulky, and it is very unfavorable for applying screen protectors, making the drawbacks outweigh the benefits.

Apart from Xiaomi, other domestic manufacturers are also preparing to gradually replace curved screens with flat screens on their flagship models.

The Xiaomi 15 Pro features a quad-curved screen with equal depth.

It is worth noting that Guo Mingqi previously mentioned.The Xiaomi 16 Pro is expected to feature a 3D-printed frame for the first time.

Using 3D printing to produce mobile phones allows for hollow designs, which can further reduce the weight of the device without sacrificing the structural strength of the phone's frame, while also improving heat dissipation, achieving two benefits at once.

In addition, the Xiaomi 16 is also evaluating a periscope telephoto lens, which will greatly enhance the shortcomings of the compact flagship, making it a well-rounded flagship.

In terms of performance, it is naturally equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 (SM8850), upgraded to TSMC's N3P process technology, which further enhances energy efficiency and transistor density compared to N3E.
