HUAWEI Philippines has officially opened local pre-orders for the HUAWEI nova 16s Series. The new lineup includes both the HUAWEI nova 16s and the top-tier HUAWEI nova 16s Pro starting at an introductory promotional price of Php 29,999.
Front True-to-Color Portrait System and 5x Selfie Zoom
The HUAWEI nova 16s Pro puts front-facing photography at center stage with the industry first Front True-to-Color Camera system.
By detecting changes in ambient color temperature, the system accurately reproduces authentic skin tones and makeup shades even under challenging lighting environments like concerts and cafes.
Up front, a 50MP Ultra Portrait Camera with a large 1/2.5-inch sensor capture while offering a versatile 0.8x to 5x optical selfie zoom range.
200MP RYYB Rear Main Camera with High-Res Cropping
Around the back, the HUAWEI nova 16s Pro features a 200MP RYYB Ultra-Large Sensor primary camera sporting a 1/1.28-inch sensor footprint and an f/1.8 aperture.
The light-gathering sensor is stabilized with advanced optical stabilization to deliver clean and noise-free handheld photos during night outings.
Through its dedicated 200MP High-Res mode, photographers can capture a single ultra-detailed frame and crop freely into wide, half-body, or macro crops without losing fidelity.
Rear True-to-Color calibration is applied across the main, telephoto, and ultra-wide cameras, working alongside AI Composition to provide real-time framing suggestions.
7000mAh Battery, 100W SuperCharge, and 6000 Nits AMOLED Display
The series packs a massive 7,000mAh battery that delivers up to 29 hours of continuous video playback on YouTube or 21 hours of browsing on TikTok.
When battery levels run low, 100W HUAWEI SuperCharge Turbo refills the cell up to 40 percent in just 15 minutes while IceBridge Heat Dissipation Architecture keeps thermals under control.
Visuals are displayed on a 6.84-inch Ultra-Bright AMOLED panel featuring an adaptive 1 to 120Hz refresh rate and up to 6,000 nits of peak brightness for effortless outdoor visibility.
Built for resilience, the chassis incorporates aerospace-grade aluminum mid-frames, drop-resistant Kunlun Glass, and an IP65 splash and dust resistance rating across a 7.1mm slim profile.
The smartphones run EMUI 16 out of the box with the Celia AI Assistant, alongside seamless access to Google services and popular Philippine apps via HUAWEI AppGallery.
