Your selfies just got a serious upgrade. The HUAWEI nova 16s Series arrives with advanced Front and Rear True-to-Color cameras, AI-powered imaging tools, a powerful 200MP main camera, 5G connectivity, and a massive 7,000mAh battery—designed to keep up with how users capture, create, and share every day.

Dubbed the “King of AI Selfies,” the newest nova lineup introduces an enhanced selfie experience built around three key features: lifelike colors, crystal-clear details, and AI-powered creativity. Now available for pre-order in the Philippines, the series offers flagship-inspired features starting at PHP 29,999.

Capture Your True Colors with an Upgraded Selfie Experience

The HUAWEI nova 16s Pro brings True-to-Color technology to the front camera through the industry-exclusive Front True-to-Color Camera. Designed to adapt to changing ambient color temperatures, it helps reproduce more accurate skin tones, makeup shades, and surrounding colors—even under challenging lighting conditions such as concert lights and dimly lit cafés.

For sharper, more detailed portraits, the device features a 50MP Ultra Portrait Camera with a 1/2.5-inch ultra-large sensor that captures more light for natural-looking skin tones and finer facial details. It also introduces the industry’s first 0.8x–5x Selfie Zoom, allowing users to switch between wider group selfies, everyday 1x shots, and closer views that highlight makeup or outfits—all without switching to the rear camera.

AI-powered tools add another layer of creativity. AI Best Expression selects the best facial expressions from multiple captures, helping everyone look their best in group photos. AI Move lets users reposition or resize people and objects to refine compositions, while AI De-Glare reduces distracting reflections from glass and other reflective surfaces.

A Powerful 200MP Rear Camera for Every Moment

Beyond selfies, the HUAWEI nova 16s Pro features the most powerful 200MP rear camera in nova history. Its 200MP RYYB Ultra-Large Sensor Main Camera combines a 1/1.28-inch sensor with an F1.8 aperture to capture more light, producing brighter, cleaner, and sharper images in low-light environments and complex lighting conditions. Powerful stabilization also helps reduce blur and preserve important details.

With 200MP High-Res mode, users can crop and reframe a single shot into different compositions—from full-body photos to half-body portraits and close-up details—without immediately sacrificing image quality.

Rear True-to-Color Camera technology also helps the main, telephoto, and wide-angle cameras reproduce natural, lifelike colors more consistently. Whether capturing vibrant concert lights, sunset views, or everyday outfit photos, users can preserve scenes closer to how they see them.

For added guidance, AI Composition provides real-time suggestions on framing and subject placement, making it easier to capture travel landmarks, portraits, and other share-worthy moments.

Stay Connected and Powered Throughout the Day

The HUAWEI nova 16s Series is built for busy days with 5G connectivity and optimized network capabilities that help users reconnect quickly after leaving weak- or no-signal areas, including elevators and basement parking spaces.

Its upgraded IceBridge Heat Dissipation Architecture helps maintain smooth performance while gaming, streaming, and switching between applications. Meanwhile, the massive 7,000mAh battery supports up to 29 hours of YouTube playback or 21 hours of TikTok scrolling.

When it’s time to recharge, 100W HUAWEI SuperCharge Turbo can bring the battery to 40% in just 15 minutes.

The HUAWEI nova 16s Pro also features a 6.84-inch Ultra-Bright Display with an adaptive 1–120Hz refresh rate and up to 6,000 nits peak brightness. From browsing social media to watching videos outdoors, the display is designed to deliver crisp, smooth, and vibrant visuals.

A Smarter Everyday Mobile Companion

Powered by EMUI 16, the HUAWEI nova 16s Series offers a more intuitive experience for managing everyday tasks. Its enhanced Celia AI Assistant responds to natural voice commands, helping users set reminders, manage appointments, send messages, find answers, and access supported third-party services.

HUAWEI AppGallery also provides access to a wide range of productivity, entertainment, shopping, and transportation applications. Users can access familiar Google services such as Gmail, YouTube, Drive, Meet, and Docs, alongside popular local apps including GCash, BDO, Shopee, and Grab.

Ride the Waves with a Standout Design

Inspired by clear skies and rolling blue seas, the HUAWEI nova 16s Series features a “Ride the Waves” design that brings a fresh look to the lineup.

The HUAWEI nova 16s Pro has a slim 7.1mm body weighing 218g, complemented by a fingerprint-resistant Frosted AG Glass finish and an upgraded Twin Star Orbit Ring camera design.

Built for everyday adventures, it also features an aerospace-grade aluminum alloy mid-frame, Kunlun Glass with 10 times higher drop resistance and five times higher wear resistance than the previous generation, and IP65 dust and water splash resistance.

The HUAWEI nova 16s Pro comes in Isle Blue, Breathing Crystal, and Starry Black, while the standard HUAWEI nova 16s adds Sky White to the color lineup.
