As soon as it launches its flagship smartphone, the Xiaomi 16 Pro, in October 2025, Xiaomi will shake up the smartphone industry. The new smartphone, as Digital Chat Station reported, will boast a 3D-printed metal middle frame that will help decrease the weight of the smartphone without decreasing its structural intensity. Other than attempting to make the cell phone lighter and more comfortable in terms of handling the heat of the device, the design also seeks to cut down on the cost of manufacturing.

The incorporation of advanced materials and technology is also consistent with the history of Xiaomi in disrupting, as has been the case with its previous devices, such as the Xiaomi 15 Pro, which provided phenomenal performance with its Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite and innovative cooling technology. When the Xiaomi 15 Pro was launched in the market on October 29 last year, it raised the bar for its subsequent versions.
