Editorial report
Huawei nova 16 Ultra 12 GB / 1 TB / China technical sheet
The Huawei nova 16 Ultra suits buyers who want a large phone with an advanced display, ambitious cameras and fast charging. Its main trade-off is weight: at 220 g, it is heavier than most phones of its time.
Its 6.84″ LTPO OLED display reaches 6000 nits and delivers 460 ppi, both among the best figures of its time. The 90.4% usable surface also leaves less unused space around the display. Design and display are better than most phones launched around the same time, although its 120 Hz refresh rate is typical.
The main camera combines 200 MP, a 1/1.28″ sensor and optical image stabilization. Its resolution and 3.7x optical zoom are among the best of their time. A 7000 mAh battery supports 100 W wired charging and 50 W wireless charging, with both charging figures among the best available then.
Connectivity is also among the best, with Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, 5G and satellite connectivity. The configuration shown has 12 GB / 256 GB; the phone is sold from 12 GB / 256 GB to 12 GB / 1 TB, but storage cannot be expanded. With an overall NeoScore of 8.2, it is a strong fit for buyers prioritizing the display, cameras, charging and connections.
