VIA GRAPHIC PLUS | Manila, Philippines (November 6, 2026) — Capturing your most authentic moments is now better than ever 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 ultimate “King of AI Selfies” features True-to-Color photography, intelligent performance, and reliable 5G connectivity.
Score the HUAWEI nova 16s starting at PHP 29,999 and the HUAWEI nova 16s Pro at PHP 39,999.
LEVEL-UP YOUR SELFIE GAME
With the HUAWEI nova 16s Series’ advanced imaging system, you can turn spontaneous holiday moments and weekend nightlife into breathtaking full-color snapshots to look back on.
Whether you’re clubbing or dancing at a neon-lit music festival, the industry-exclusive Front and Rear True-to-Color Cameras 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 industry-exclusive 0.8x–5x Selfie Zoom lets you capture the whole crew in a wide shot or zoom in on the intricate details of your festival look, all without flipping the phone around.
You can capture golden sunsets at the beach or beautiful landscapes on weekend hikes with the flagship-level 200MP RYYB Ultra-Large Sensor Main Camera. Its massive 1/1.28″ sensor and F1.8 aperture allow more light to enter, helping retain crisp shadows and bright highlights even when shooting against intense afternoon sunlight.
Thanks to the 200MP High-Res, you can take one snapshot and crop freely without sacrificing image quality. From a single photo, you can crop to get a stylish full-body outfit shot, a classic half-body portrait, or an artistic close-up of your face—giving you endless ways to get creative.
Capturing your favorite singer or band up close on a concert stage or bringing a hidden coastline into clear focus is now easier with the 50MP RYYB Periscope Telephoto Camera.
It features powerful zoom capabilities that effortlessly bridge the distance, bringing stage performers and the most exciting parts of any adventure right into the palm of your hand in stunning detail.
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 suite. If you are ever unsure how to frame a moment, AI Composition provides real-time guidance on lighting and positioning right as you shoot, ensuring every picture is well balanced as if a professional took it.
Get creative or fix an awkwardly positioned friend in a photo with AI Move, which allows you to select people or pets in a single tap and magically resize or reposition them while seamlessly recreating natural depth and lighting in the frame.
AI De-Glare helps you remove distracting window or glass reflections so you can take your aesthetic pictures. If someone accidentally blinks during your group photo, AI Best Expression scans past captures to swap in everyone’s ideal expression.
If a random tourist photobombs your vacation shot, AI Remove erases them from photos to preserve your valuable memories.
To keep up with weekend adventures and impromptu remote work, the HUAWEI nova 16s Series features 5G connectivity for faster uploads and downloads.
Whether you’re sharing travel vlogs, handling urgent work tasks, or playing mobile games, you can enjoy responsive performance and reliable connectivity. Its rapid signal recovery and stable connection in weak-signal areas also help you rejoin work calls or stream music, even in basement parking lots.
Whether you’re gaming late into the night or binge-watching your favorite series, the IceBridge Heat Dissipation Architecture helps prevent thermal throttling for sustained performance. Enjoy up to 120 FPS in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang or extended streaming sessions without excessive heat buildup.
For longer days of heavy performance, the 7000mAh Super Battery supports up to 29 hours of continuous video playback, while 100W HUAWEI SuperCharge Turbo restores up to 40% battery in just 15 minutes.
The HUAWEI nova 16s Series also features a vibrant 6.84-inch 120Hz LTPO flat display with up to 6,000 nits of peak brightness for clear, vivid visuals, even in bright outdoor conditions.
From checking maps on a sunny commute to reviewing documents at a café or viewing photos at the beach, the display keeps content easy to see.
SEAMLESS AI-POWERED WORK AND PLAY
The HUAWEI nova 16s Series makes everyday tasks easier with smart features designed for work and play. When your hands are full with shopping bags or luggage, the voice-activated Celia AI Assistant lets you ask questions and give commands hands-free.
You can now book a Grab with voice commands for your next destination.
Sharing photos and videos with friends and family is also easier. With Cross-OS Sharing via the Petal Interconnect app, the HUAWEI nova 16s Series supports file transfers with iOS devices, making it convenient to share high-quality concert videos and holiday photos without relying on third-party messaging apps.
With HUAWEI AppGallery, you can access apps for daily needs, including social media, finance, and shopping apps such as Facebook, GCash, BDO, and Shopee.
“RIDE THE WAVES” AESTHETIC BUILT WITH 10X DROP-RESISTANT KUNLUN GLASS
Inspired by clear summer skies and rolling blue seas, the HUAWEI 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 features a Frosted AG Glass back with a smooth, fingerprint-resistant finish.
Accidental bumps and drops on your daily commute or weekend trips are no match for the HUAWEI nova 16s Pro. At just 7.1 mm slim and weighing 218 g, the device is built with an ultra-durable exterior so you have peace of mind wherever you go.
Its aerospace-grade aluminum mid-frame is paired with Kunlun Glass with an advanced nanocrystal coating, giving you 10x higher drop resistance and 5x higher wear resistance compared to the previous generation tested in HUAWEI Labs.
The HUAWEI nova 16s Pro in Breathing Crystal, Isle Blue, and Starry Black, while the standard nova 16s is available in Breathing Crystal, Starry Black, and Sky White, so you can match your personal style with your powerful device.
