Xiaomi may be preparing to revive one of its most experimental ideas. According to a string of recent leaks, the company is working on a new smartphone with a secondary rear display, much like the one on the Mi 11 Ultra.
We first heard about it last month via a leak claiming that the phone has a horizontal secondary screen next to its rear camera. Now, fresh details are emerging straight from Xiaomi’s own software.
Xiaomi Q200 leaks with dual-display support
Code spotted in the latest version of HyperOS includes references to a device with the model name Pandora and model code Q200. More notably, there is an explicit mention of sub-screen display support in the code string.
Xiaomi hasn’t offered a dual-screen phone since the Mi 11 Ultra, which featured a tiny rear display embedded into the camera module. It allowed for quick glances at notifications, selfie framing, and a few other gimmicks. It didn’t exactly catch on, and Xiaomi hasn’t revisited the concept since. Until now, it seems.
According to a previous leak, the Q200 will be the top-end variant of the Xiaomi 16 line after the Xiaomi 16 Ultra. It could take the place of the Xiaomi 15 Pro, while the Xiaomi 16 and Xiaomi 16 Pro are said to be compact models in the line.
There’s still no official confirmation, and hardware details are still under wraps. And the device’s model number, 25098PN5AC, doesn’t reveal much either.
However, sources say the Q200 could launch in September alongside the standard Xiaomi 16 and 16 Pro, with the initial rollout limited to China.
That’s typical for Xiaomi. The company often keeps more experimental models in China first, before considering global releases based on feedback. If history is any guide, the Q200 might not show up globally until early 2026—if it ever does.
