Xiaomi’s next flagship series is beginning to take shape outside of China. A new device, believed to be the Xiaomi 16, has surfaced in Europe’s EEC (Eurasian Economic Commission) certification database, indicating that a global release is on the horizon, although not immediately.
It appears on the certification site with the model code 25113PN0EG. This confirms that the device is indeed the Xiaomi 16, as it has also appeared in the IMEI database with the same model number.
The G suffix at the end indicates it’s the global version, while Xiaomi is also preparing a separate China (25113PN0EC) and India (25113PN0EI) variants of the phone.
Historically, Xiaomi’s EEC listings don’t always point to imminent launches. The Xiaomi 15, for instance, received certification in May 2024 but didn’t debut globally until March 2025, alongside the Xiaomi 15 Ultra.
In the case of the Xiaomi 16, it is expected to launch in China as early as September 2025 alongside Xiaomi 16 Pro and 16 Ultra. Globally, it might not hit shelves until Q1 2026.
What to expect from the Xiaomi 16?
According to reports, the Xiaomi 16 will be the first smartphone to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset. It is said to sport a 6.3-inch RGB OLED panel with 2K resolution and a battery capacity close to 7,000mAh.
It will include a trio of 50MP sensors, covering wide, ultra-wide, and periscope telephoto roles. The device is also expected to ship with HyperOS 3.0, layered over Android 16.
While no official word has come from Xiaomi yet, the EEC filing adds to mounting evidence that the company’s next flagship is gearing up for a broader launch. Just don’t expect it too soon.
