Editorial report
Huawei nova 16s Pro technical sheet
The Huawei nova 16s Pro is aimed at people who prioritize its display, cameras and battery, but at 218 g it weighs more than average for phones launched around the same time. That is the main trade-off. The display reaches 6,000 nits peak brightness, among the highest figures for phones of its time. Its 460 ppi density is also among the highest, while the 120 Hz refresh rate is average.
For photography, the main camera’s 1/1.28″ sensor is among the largest of phones launched around the same time. Its 3.7x optical zoom is among the highest, and the main camera’s 200 MP resolution is also among the highest. The telephoto camera includes optical stabilization, and a 50 MP ultrawide camera adds another framing option. The setup suits people looking for varied focal lengths.
The 7000 mAh battery has above-average capacity, and 100 W charging is among the fastest of phones of its time. In the 12 GB / 256 GB configuration, RAM capacity is better than most; its AnTuTu result of 1,013,800 is above average. Connectivity is among the best, while performance is above average. Overall, the Huawei nova 16s Pro is better than most phones launched around the same time: NeoScore 7.7. It is a strong fit for display, photography and battery priorities, with its above-average weight as the compromise.
