Huawei Nova 16 Ultra launched with 200MP camera and 7000mAh battery

Huawei has officially launched its highly anticipated Nova 16 smartphone series in China. The absolute king of the new lineup is the high-end Huawei Nova 16 Ultra. This premium device comes packed with incredible hardware features that place it far above what average mid-range mobile phones offer on the market today.

The most shocking highlight of the Nova 16 Ultra is its massive 7,000mAh battery cell. This is the largest battery capacity that the brand has ever introduced inside the popular Nova phone family. To make sure you do not spend all day waiting by a wall plug, the phone supports ultra-fast 100W wired SuperCharge technology and 50W wireless charging speeds. It even supports 7.5W reverse wireless charging to fill up your earbuds on the go.

On the front, the phone carries a beautiful 6.84-inch LTPO OLED display screen that handles an adaptive refresh rate from 1Hz to 120Hz. This smart display can save a lot of battery life while playing games or reading simple text documents. Furthermore, the screen can reach a jaw-dropping peak brightness of 6,000 nits, allowing you to view images clearly in direct summer sunlight. To protect against accidental drops, the front glass uses the company’s strong Kunlun Glass shield.

Flagship processing power and a 200MP triple camera lens system

Under the hood, the Nova 16 Ultra runs entirely on the company’s in-house Kirin 9010S mobile processor. This is a flagship-grade processor that was previously used inside the premium Pura 90 smartphone models. To match this processing power, the phone runs on the brand-new HarmonyOS 6.1 software system straight out of the box, offering incredibly fast animations and clean user menus. The entire phone body also features premium IP68 and IP69 ratings to fully resist heavy dust and water splashes.

Photography fans are getting a massive upgrade as well. The back of the device features a huge horizontal camera layout that holds a flagship 200-megapixel primary camera lens. This main sensor utilizes an f/1.8 aperture and physical Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) to take crisp, blur-free images in dark environments. The triple setup also includes a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens with 3.7x optical zoom and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide macro camera. Selfie lovers can use a high-quality 50-megapixel front-facing camera tucked inside a small pill-shaped cutout.
