Editorial report
Huawei nova 16 Pro 12 GB / 512 GB / China technical sheet
The Huawei nova 16 Pro suits buyers who want a very bright display, ambitious cameras and fast charging in a large phone. The main trade-off in the shown configuration is that its 256GB storage cannot be expanded, although the phone is also sold with 512GB and 1TB.
Its 6.84″ LTPO OLED display reaches 6,000 nits and 460 ppi, while the 90.4% usable surface makes efficient use of the front. At 7.1 mm, the body is among the thinnest of its time. Overall, the display is better than most phones launched around the same time. The camera is also among the best: its 200MP rear sensor measures 1/1.28″, includes optical stabilization and is joined by a telephoto camera with 3.7x optical zoom.
The 7,000mAh battery holds more capacity than most phones of its time, and 100W charging is among the best. Connectivity is among the best of its time, with 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC and satellite connectivity. Performance is typical for phones of its time, with 12GB of RAM and the Kirin 9010S. HarmonyOS 6 completes the package, but the phone has no direct OS updates. The Huawei nova 16 Pro earns a NeoScore of 7.7 and is especially well suited to buyers who prioritize display quality, photography and connectivity.
