Xiaomi 16 Pro Max may revive rear display in leaked images

Leaked images circulating online suggest Xiaomi may revive a secondary rear display on its upcoming flagship, the Xiaomi 16 Pro Max, as the company prepares to unveil the 16 series in China later this month. The photographs, first shared on Chinese social media and picked up by multiple tipsters, show a wide camera island at the top of the phone’s back that appears to leave room for a rectangular secondary panel alongside the primary lenses.

The alleged live photos depict two vertically aligned sensors on the left of a large horizontal module, an apparently blank area to the right and a smaller third camera tucked below the main island with an LED flash nearby. Some posts identify Leica branding adjacent to the lower camera. One image shows the device in a protective case with a large cutout matching the module’s shape, and another reportedly shows a senior company manager holding the handset, details that analysts who shared the photos say increase the possibility the images are authentic. Tipster Ishan Agarwal and others have circulated the shots, while other leakers, including Kartikey Singh and Smart Pikachu, have previously suggested Xiaomi would revive a rear display.
