HUAWEI has officially launched the HUAWEI nova 16s Series in the Philippines. The new lineup includes the HUAWEI nova 16s and the HUAWEI nova 16s Pro.
50MP Ultra Portrait Selfie Camera with 0.8x to 5x Zoom
The 50MP Ultra Portrait Front Camera features a versatile 0.8x to 5x Selfie Zoom, letting you capture wide-angle group shots or close-up makeup details without flipping the phone around.
200MP RYYB Ultra-Large Main Sensor and 50MP Periscope Telephoto
For primary photography, the smartphones pack a flagship-grade 1/1.28-inch 200MP RYYB Ultra-Large Sensor main camera with an F1.8 aperture that lets in ample light during sunset and night outings.
Thanks to 200MP High-Res capture, users can take one broad landscape snapshot and crop in freely for full-body outfit shots or artistic portraits without sacrificing resolution.
The HUAWEI nova 16s Pro takes things further with a 50MP RYYB Periscope Telephoto Camera.
Built-in AI-Powered Imaging Suite for Instant Creative Edits
HUAWEI also includes a suite of on-device AI creative tools to ensure every picture turns out picture-perfect.
Tools include AI Composition for real-time framing assistance, AI Move to reposition or resize people and pets in one tap, AI De-Glare to erase window reflections, and AI Best Expression to fix accidental blinks in group photos.
6.84-inch 120Hz LTPO Flat Display and 10x Drop-Resistant Kunlun Glass
The front of the phone features a 6.84-inch 120Hz LTPO flat display with up to 6,000 nits of peak brightness for effortless readability under intense Philippine sunlight.
For durability, the nova 16s Pro combines an aerospace-grade aluminum mid-frame with nanocrystal Kunlun Glass, providing 10x higher drop resistance and 5x higher wear resistance at just 7.1 mm thickness.
7,000 mAh Super Battery, 100W SuperCharge Turbo, and 5G Speed
The HUAWEI nova 16s Series carries a 7,000 mAh Super Battery capable of up to 29 hours of continuous video playback.
When battery levels dip, 100W HUAWEI SuperCharge Turbo restores up to 40% battery life in just 15 minutes.
Under heavy gaming, the built-in IceBridge Heat Dissipation Architecture prevents thermal throttling, maintaining up to 120 FPS in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.
Smart Features with Cross-OS Sharing and Celia Voice Assistant
Cross-OS Sharing via the Petal Interconnect app allows quick direct transfers to iOS devices, while HUAWEI AppGallery provides seamless access to local essentials such as GCash, BDO, and Shopee.
