TL; DR
- Digital Chat Station says a next-gen 6.3-inch compact flagship is testing a dual 200 MP rear camera setup.
- The leak doesn’t name the phone, but the size and timing point to Xiaomi’s next Pro lineup, possibly the Xiaomi 18 Pro.
- This fits a wider 2026 trend where OPPO, vivo, OnePlus, and realme also push dual 200 MP main + telephoto setups.
Digital Chat Station has posted another leak on Weibo, and this one is about compact flagships. He says a “next-generation 6.3-inch small screen” phone is currently being tested with “dual 200 MP imaging.”
DCS doesn’t name the device, but the combination of a 6.3-inch-class display and a very aggressive camera setup immediately points toward Xiaomi. Recent leaks have already hinted that Xiaomi wants a more serious compact “Pro” model in its next lineup, so it’s easy to see why people are connecting this to the Xiaomi 18 Pro (or a similar Pro variant in the Xiaomi 18 series).
The interesting part is that this isn’t just a “big number” move. Most dual 200 MP rumors across Chinese flagships mention large telephoto sensors too, often in the 1/1.56-inch or even 1/1.4-inch range.
This also lines up with a wider trend that’s starting to form for late 2026. OPPO’s Find X9 Ultra/X10 series has already shown up in multiple leaks tied to a 200 MP main + 200 MP periscope setup. vivo’s X300 Ultra rumors keep circling around the same idea. OnePlus 16 and realme’s GT 9 family have also been mentioned in similar “200 MP telephoto” discussions.
