Both smartphones will be offered through the Huawei Malaysia online store, as well as its official stores on Shopee, Lazada and TikTok Shop.
Huawei Nova 16s Pro Malaysia specs and features
The Huawei Nova 16s Pro is the higher-end model of the two, featuring a 6.84-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2856×1320 pixels. The screen supports a 1-120Hz LTPO adaptive refresh rate, 2160Hz PWM dimming and a claimed peak brightness of up to 6,000 nits.
Under the hood, the Nova 16s Pro runs on Huawei’s Kirin 9010S octa-core processor and comes with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage.
For photography, the Nova 16s Pro gets a 200MP RYYB main camera with a large 1/1.28-inch sensor, an f/1.8 aperture and optical image stabilisation (OIS). This is accompanied by a 50MP RYYB periscope telephoto camera offering 3.7x optical zoom with OIS, along with a 50MP RYYB ultra-wide-angle camera that supports a 118-degree field of view and macro photography.
There’s also a dedicated 1.5MP True-to-Colour multispectral camera designed to improve colour reproduction, particularly for skin tones.
Up front, the Nova 16s Pro gets a 50MP selfie camera, accompanied by another True-to-Colour sensor. Huawei also offers 0.8x to 5x selfie and group selfie zoom, allowing users to adjust the framing for different situations.
In terms of battery, the Nova 16s Pro packs a large 7,000mAh battery and supports 100W Huawei SuperCharge Turbo wired charging.
Despite the large battery, the device measures just 7.1mm thick and weighs approximately 218g. It also features an aluminium alloy frame, Kunlun Glass protection and stereo speakers.
Huawei Nova 16s Malaysia specs and features
The standard Huawei Nova 16s offers a slightly smaller 6.68-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2800×1280 pixels. It supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz, 2160Hz PWM dimming and a claimed peak brightness of up to 5,500 nits.
Instead of the Kirin 9010S, the regular Nova 16s runs on the Kirin 8020 octa-core processor, paired with 12GB RAM and comes with 256GB of storage.
For cameras, the Nova 16s gets a 50MP main camera with an f/1.9 aperture, accompanied by a 50MP RYYB periscope telephoto camera offering 3.3x optical zoom and OIS. There’s also a dedicated True-to-Colour sensor for improved colour reproduction.
However, unlike the Pro, the standard Nova 16s misses out on an ultra-wide-angle camera and optical image stabilisation (OIS) for its main 50MP camera. The 50MP front-facing camera also lacks the additional True-to-Colour sensor found on the Pro.
Similar to the Pro, the standard Nova 16s gets a 7,000mAh battery with support for 100W Huawei SuperCharge Turbo wired charging.
The device is slightly lighter at approximately 199g and measures 7.3mm thick.
Both models offer AI-powered photography and editing features, including AI Composition, AI Move, AI Remove, AI De-glare and AI Best Expression.
Out of the box, both Nova 16s smartphones run on EMUI 16. Huawei also offers cross-platform file sharing through the Petal Interconnect app which allows users to transfer photos between devices running different operating systems, including compatible Apple devices.
As usual, Huawei smartphones do not come with Google Mobile Services pre-installed. You’ll have to use Huawei AppGallery to discover and download apps.
