Manila, Philippines — Your selfies just got a serious upgrade—and that’s only the beginning. The most powerful nova yet, the HUAWEI nova 16s Series combines advanced Front & Rear True-to-Color cameras, AI-powered imaging tools, a powerful 200MP main camera, 5G connectivity, and a massive 7,000mAh battery to keep up with the way you capture, create, and share every day. Now available for pre-order starting at PHP 29,999, it brings an impressive lineup of features within easier reach.
Dubbed the “King of AI Selfies,” the newest nova lineup delivers an all-new selfie experience built on three key pillars: True-to-Color imaging for life-like colors, crystal-clear clarity for sharp, detailed shots, and AI-powered tools for effortless creativity.
Capture Your True Colors with an Unprecedented Selfie Experience
True-to-Color: Ever taken a selfie under colorful concert lights or in a dimly lit café, only to find that your skin looks too yellow, too pale, or completely different from how it looks in real life? The HUAWEI nova 16s Pro tackles this with the industry’s exclusive Front True-to-Color Camera, bringing True-to-Color technology to the front camera for more lifelike portraits. By detecting changes in ambient color temperature, it helps reproduce authentic skin tones, makeup shades, and surrounding colors more accurately—even in complex lighting conditions—so your selfies look more like the moment you actually experienced.
Crystal-Clear: With the HUAWEI nova 16s Pro’s 50MP Ultra Portrait Camera, you can worry less about the shot and focus more on preserving the moment exactly as they happen. Its 1/2.5-inch ultra-large front camera sensor captures more light to help create natural-looking skin tones and finer facial details, even in dimly lit settings. The industry’s first 0.8x–5x Selfie Zoom lets you switch between an ultra-wide view for group selfies, a natural 1x perspective for everyday shots, and closer 2x or 5x views to highlight your makeup or outfit, without needing to switch to the rear camera.
AI-Powered: Because even a great shot can use a little fine-tuning, the HUAWEI nova 16s Pro also offers AI-powered tools to help make every shot more creative and share-worthy. AI Best Expression selects facial expressions from multiple captures, so everyone looks their best in group photos. AI Move lets you reposition or resize people and objects in your selfies to refine your composition, while AI De-Glare reduces distracting reflections from glass and other reflective surfaces to give you pristine, flawless selfies.
Flagship-Level Specs and the Most Powerful 200MP Rear Camera in nova History
From concerts and nightclubs to late-night hangouts with friends, challenging lighting shouldn’t stop you from capturing the perfect shot. The HUAWEI nova 16s Pro features a powerful 200MP RYYB Ultra-Large Sensor Main Camera with a 1/1.28-inch ultra-large sensor and F1.8 aperture, capturing more light to deliver brighter, cleaner, and sharper images, even in low-light environments or under complex lighting conditions. With its powerful stabilization, it also helps reduce blur so you can preserve your favorite moments in stunning detail.
With 200MP High-Res mode, you can shoot once and crop freely to create different compositions, from full-body shots to half-body portraits and artistic close-ups, without immediately sacrificing image quality. Whether you want to highlight your outfit, bring out the details of your makeup, or give a group photo a fresh perspective, one shot gives you more ways to get creative and make every photo a banger.
And no matter how you frame your shot, getting the colors right is just as important. The HUAWEI nova 16s Pro’s Rear True-to-Color Camera technology helps its main, telephoto, and wide-angle cameras reproduce natural, lifelike colors more consistently. From vibrant concert lights to breathtaking sunsets and your favorite outfit, you can capture scenes closer to how you actually see them.
In addition to capturing your true colors, AI Composition also helps you perfect your photos, providing real-time guidance on framing and subject placement. Whether you’re photographing a travel landmark, taking outfit photos, or snapping a portrait of a friend, you can spend less time second-guessing your angles and more time capturing photos worth sharing.
Power Through Every Moment with 5G, a 7,000mAh Battery, and an Ultra-Bright Display
From uploading content on the go to streaming videos during your commute, the HUAWEI nova 16s Series keeps you connected with reliable 5G connectivity. Its optimized network capabilities also allow quick reconnection after leaving weak- or no-signal areas, like elevators and basement parking spaces, so you can get back online with less waiting.
When the day gets busy, the upgraded IceBridge Heat Dissipation Architecture helps maintain smooth performance while gaming, streaming, or switching between apps. The massive 7,000mAh battery supports up to 29 hours of YouTube playback or 21 hours of TikTok scrolling, helping you stay powered through busy days and late-night catch-ups. Need a quick boost before heading out? The 100W HUAWEI SuperCharge Turbo can charge the battery to 40% in just 15 minutes.
The HUAWEI nova 16s Pro’s 6.84-inch Ultra-Bright Display makes photos, videos, and apps look crisp, smooth, and vibrant. With an adaptive 1–120Hz refresh rate and up to 6,000 nits peak brightness, you can scroll through your feed, review your latest shots, or catch up on your favorite shows, even outdoors under bright sunlight.
