Xiaomi 16 Series Bezels May Narrow to 1mm, Surpassing iPhone 16 Pro Max
According to recent reports from tech blogger Ice Universe, Xiaomi's upcoming 16 series smartphones are expected to feature significantly narrower bezels than previous models and even Apple's anticipated iPhone 16 Pro Max. Sources indicate that the standard Xiaomi 16 model will have bezels measuring approximately 1.0 mm, while the Pro and Pro Max variants will measure 1.1 mm and 1.15 mm, respectively. In comparison, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is projected to have 1.36 mm bezels, positioning Xiaomi's new devices as having slimmer frames. This design advancement is reportedly enabled by a new LIPO packaging process, which utilizes high-polymer liquid material to cover cable areas and eliminate buffer zones. Although Xiaomi has not officially commented on these specifications, the 16 series is rumored to launch in late September. The lineup is also expected to be powered by Qualcomm's next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset. This development highlights the intensifying competition in the premium smartphone market, where manufacturers are increasingly focusing on maximizing screen-to-body ratios through innovative engineering solutions.
