Full Specifications

Display & Design

The nova 16s Pro steps up to a 6.84-inch LTPO OLED with an adaptive 1-120 Hz refresh rate, a 2856 x 1320 resolution and a 6,000-nit peak brightness, protected by Huawei’s tough Kunlun Glass. The design keeps the series’ camera-bar identity with two circular dials and a wave-inspired silhouette, and at 7.1 mm thick with an aluminum frame and glass back it feels like a flagship in the hand. IP65 splash resistance and an in-display optical fingerprint sensor round out the package.

Performance

Huawei’s Kirin 9010S delivers flagship-grade fluidity for daily use, multitasking and 5G connectivity, tuned through EMUI 16 with the upgraded Celia assistant and a broad AI toolkit that covers AI Move, AI Remove, AI Best Expression and AI De-Glare. As with all global Huawei phones, there is no Google Mobile Services, so you rely on AppGallery and workaround solutions. Stereo speakers, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0 with L2HC high-resolution audio complete the experience.

Camera

This is the heart of the nova 16s Pro: a 200 MP f/1.8 RYYB main sensor with a large 1/1.28-inch footprint and OIS, joined by a 50 MP f/2.6 periscope telephoto with 3.7x optical zoom and a 50 MP f/2.2 ultra-wide with autofocus and a 118-degree field of view. A rear True-to-Colour multispectral sensor and laser autofocus keep colors accurate and focus fast, and the 50 MP front camera pairs with a second 1.5 MP True-to-Colour sensor for color-calibrated selfies with 0.8x to 5x zoom. Both cameras record 4K video with gyro-EIS and HDR Vivid.

Battery & Charging

The 7,000 mAh (typical) battery fits inside a 7.1 mm body and easily lasts into a second day for most users. 100 W Huawei SuperCharge Turbo wired charging refills it at flagship speed, with the 100 W charger included in most markets, and a 5 W reverse wired mode can trickle-charge accessories. Wireless charging is not supported.
