The Xiaomi 16 global variant has appeared on the EEC certification site, hinting at an international launch.
It is rumoured to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip, a 6.3-inch 2K RGB OLED display, 7,000mAh battery, and triple 50MP cameras for wide, ultra-wide, and periscope zoom.
The Xiaomi 16 series including Pro and Ultra model is expected to debut in China by September 2025, with the global rollout following months later.
Xiaomi’s next flagship will be the Xiaomi 16 and it has just popped up on Europe’s EEC (Eurasian Economic Commission) certification site, hinting at a global release. Although the release may still be months away.
According to a recent Xpertpick report, the phone appears under the model number 25113PN0EG, which matches previous entries seen in the IMEI database, confirming it’s indeed the Xiaomi 16. The “G” at the end of the model number suggests it’s the global version, while Xiaomi is also prepping China (25113PN0EC) and India (25113PN0EI) variants.
That said, EEC listings don’t always mean an immediate launch. For example, the Xiaomi 15 got certified in May 2024, but didn’t go global until March 2025, launching alongside the Xiaomi 15 Ultra.
As for the Xiaomi 16, it’s expected to debut in China as early as September 2025 along with the Xiaomi 16 Pro and 16 Ultra. The global rollout may not happen until early 2026.

Indian telecom companies may raise mobile tariffs by 10–12% by the end of 2025, especially targeting mid- and high-spending users.
In May 2025, India added 7.4 million active users with Jio gaining 5.5 million and Airtel 1.3 million, pushing the total base to 1.08 billion.
Future plans may shift to tiered pricing based on data usage, speed, time-of-day and user behaviour, aiming to protect low-end users while boosting revenue.

India’s telecom companies could raise mobile tariffs by 10–12% by the end of 2025, especially for mid- and high-spending users. According to a report from ET Telecom, this comes as mobile networks continue to see steady subscriber growth. Here’s what we know so far.
Telecom Subscriber Growth Hits New High
In May 2025, India added 7.4 million active users, marking the fifth month in a row of net gains and the biggest monthly increase in over two years. The total active user base now stands close to 1.08 billion.
Reliance Jio added 5.5 million users, boosting its market share to 53%
Airtel gained 1.3 million users, bringing its share to 36%
Analysts say this growth shows users have adjusted to the previous tariff hike in July 2024, which raised base plans by 11–23%. The recent surge is also driven by a comeback in secondary SIM usage and growing acceptance of higher prices. However, experts warn that another hike could further test user retention.
Company Might Opt for Tiered Pricing
Instead of blanket price increases, the next round of tariff changes could bring tiered pricing that offers different plans based on different parameters. These parameters could be –
Data usage volume
Network speeds
Time-of-day usage
User behaviour (especially low-data users)
This strategy aims to protect low-end users from more price shocks while increasing revenue from mid- and high-tier users who consume more data.
Indian Telecom Industry – What To Expect?
Industry watchers believe Jio’s continued growth and Vodafone Idea’s subscriber losses could push Jio and Airtel to increase their market share further and possibly hike tariffs selectively.
Brokerage firm BNP Paribas expects the telecom sector to maintain double-digit revenue growthfrom FY25 to FY27, driven by both price hikes and new bundled plans.
In a recent earnings call, Airtel MD Gopal Vittal said the old “one-size-fits-all” pricing model no longer works. Vittal reportedly stressed the need for more customised plans to suit different user needs.
While there’s no confirmed timeline, analysts say more pricing changes are likely to roll out in the coming months.
FAQs
Q1. Why are telecom tariffs expected to rise again in 2025?
Answer. India’s telecom companies could raise mobile tariffs by 10–12% by the end of 2025, especially for mid- and high-spending user, as mobile networks continue to see steady subscriber growth.
Q2. What is tiered pricing and how might it affect users?
Answer, Instead of blanket price increases, the next round of tariff changes could bring tiered pricing… based on data usage volume, network speeds, time-of-day usage, and user behaviour (especially low-data users).
Q3. How much did the telecom subscriber base grow in May 2025?
Answer. In May 2025, India added 7.4 million active users, marking the fifth month in a row of net gains and the biggest monthly increase in over two years.

iPhone 17 Pro render leak shows that the Apple logo is now aligned with the centre of the glass portion on the back, rather than the physical centre of the phone.
Apple is reportedly using an all-aluminium frame and matching camera bump, giving the phone a sleek two-tone look.
The render was shared by Majin Bu and supported by Sonny Dickson, adding credibility to the design changes ahead of the iPhone 17 launch.
The iPhone 17 Series launch still has some time but when did that stop leakers from giving us heads-ups on what to expect from Apple’s upcoming offerings? Several leaked images of dummy units and hands-on videos have already indicated the directions Apple is going with the next iPhone series.
We already saw an early preview of the iPhone 17 Pro series this last week and now, the latest render offers a much clearer view of what to expect.
iPhone 17 Pro – New Leaked Render
Apple leaker Majin Bu has shared a new image on X (formerly Twitter) that gives a better look at the updated Apple logo placement on the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro models.

One major change with the iPhone 17 Pro’s design is its shift toward a more two-tone look. Apple is said to be using an all-aluminium frame and matching camera bump this time around. But don’t worry, a glass section will still be there to support wireless charging, MagSafe, and wireless passthrough.
The image also confirms a key design detail that the Apple logo isn’t centred on the phone itself. Instead, it’s aligned with the centre of the glass portion on the back. So technically, it’s still “centred” and just not in the way you might expect.
Sharing the new render, Majin Bu wrote, “Do you like the new Apple logo position on iPhone 17 Pro?”
While the repositioned logo might feel a bit odd at first, it may not be such a big deal once you see it in person. In fact, another trusted leaker Sonny Dickson has backed up Majin Bu’s claim, adding more credibility to the leak.
So if this turns out to be true, the iPhone 17 Promodels will not only bring a fresh logo placement but also a striking new aluminium-based design.
