The “King of AI Selfies” brings True-to-Color cameras, 5G, and a 7,000mAh battery to the Philippines
Capture your most authentic moments like never before with the all-new HUAWEI nova 16s Series, now available in the Philippines. Designed for a generation that loves to create, curate, and share, the “King of AI Selfies” features True-to-Color photography, intelligent performance, and reliable 5G connectivity. The HUAWEI nova 16s starts at PHP29,999, and the HUAWEI nova 16s Pro is PHP39,999.
CLEAR, TRUE-TO-COLOR SELFIES
With the nova 16s Series’ imaging system, you can turn spontaneous holiday moments and weekend nightlife into full-color snapshots to look back on.
Whether you’re clubbing or dancing at a neon-lit music festival, HUAWEI’s Front and Rear True-to-Color Cameras, which the company calls industry-exclusive, use pixel-level algorithms to filter out challenging lighting. This helps preserve natural skin tones and makeup details, keeping them lifelike instead of washed out or unnaturally yellow under harsh club lights. When you’re out partying with friends, the 50MP Ultra Portrait Front Camera’s 0.8x to 5x Selfie Zoom, another HUAWEI industry-exclusive claim, lets you capture the whole crew in a wide shot or zoom in on the details of your festival look, all without flipping the phone around.
A 200MP CAMERA FOR VIVID MEMORIES
You can capture golden sunsets at the beach or landscapes on weekend hikes with the 200MP RYYB Ultra-Large Sensor Main Camera. Its 1/1.28-inch sensor and F1.8 aperture let in more light, helping retain crisp shadows and bright highlights even against intense afternoon sunlight. With 200MP High-Res mode, you can take one snapshot and crop freely without sacrificing image quality: a stylish full-body outfit shot, a classic half-body portrait, or an artistic close-up of your face.
Getting your favorite singer or band up close on a concert stage, or bringing a hidden coastline into clear focus, is easier with the 50MP RYYB Periscope Telephoto Camera. Its zoom capabilities bring stage performers and the most exciting parts of any adventure into stunning detail.
YOUR PERSONAL AI PLAYGROUND
You no longer have to settle for ruined shots or spend hours tweaking sliders, thanks to the built-in AI-powered imaging tools:
- AI Composition: Provides real-time guidance on lighting and positioning as you shoot, so every picture is well balanced.
- AI Move: Lets you select people or pets in a single tap and resize or reposition them while recreating natural depth and lighting, for creative edits or for fixing an awkwardly positioned friend.
- AI De-Glare: Removes distracting window or glass reflections.
- AI Best Expression: Scans past captures to swap in everyone’s ideal expression if someone blinks in a group photo.
- AI Remove: Erases random photobombers from your vacation shots.
5G PERFORMANCE FOR WEEKENDS AND REMOTE WORK
To keep up with weekend adventures and impromptu remote work, the nova 16s Series has 5G connectivity for faster uploads and downloads. Whether you’re sharing travel vlogs, handling urgent work tasks, or playing mobile games, you can expect responsive performance and reliable connectivity. Rapid signal recovery and stable connections in weak-signal areas also help you rejoin work calls or stream music, even in basement parking lots.
For late-night gaming or binge-watching, the IceBridge Heat Dissipation Architecture helps prevent thermal throttling for sustained performance. HUAWEI says the phone can run up to 120 FPS in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and support extended streaming sessions without excessive heat buildup. The 7,000mAh Super Battery supports up to 29 hours of continuous video playback, while 100W HUAWEI SuperCharge Turbo restores up to 40 percent in 15 minutes.
The series also has a 6.84-inch 120Hz LTPO flat display with up to 6,000 nits of peak brightness, which keeps content easy to see in bright outdoor conditions, from checking maps on a sunny commute to viewing photos at the beach.
AI-POWERED WORK AND PLAY
The voice-activated Celia AI Assistant lets you ask questions and give commands hands-free when your hands are full with shopping bags or luggage. You can now book a Grab with voice commands for your next destination.
With Cross-OS Sharing via the Petal Interconnect app, the nova 16s Series supports file transfers with iOS devices, making it easier to share concert videos and holiday photos without third-party messaging apps. HUAWEI AppGallery gives access to apps for daily needs, including social media, finance, and shopping apps such as Facebook, GCash, BDO, and Shopee.
“RIDE THE WAVES” DESIGN WITH KUNLUN GLASS
Inspired by clear summer skies and rolling blue seas, the nova 16s Series features the “Ride the Waves” design, pairing an icy-blue matte finish with a Twin Star Orbit Ring that shimmers as light shifts across its surface. The HUAWEI nova 16s Pro also has a Frosted AG Glass back with a smooth, fingerprint-resistant finish.
The nova 16s Pro is 7.1 mm slim and weighs 218 g. Its aerospace-grade aluminum mid-frame is paired with Kunlun Glass with an advanced nanocrystal coating, which HUAWEI says gives 10x higher drop resistance and 5x higher wear resistance than the previous generation, as tested in HUAWEI Labs.
The nova 16s Pro comes in Breathing Crystal, Isle Blue, and Starry Black, while the standard nova 16s is available in Breathing Crystal, Starry Black, and Sky White.
