Both phones have a 50MP selfie camera. Their AI photography tools include AI Composition, AI Move, AI Remove, AI De-glare and AI Best Expression.
The nova 16s has a 6.68-inch OLED display and Kirin 8020 chipset, while the Pro uses a 6.84-inch OLED screen and Kirin 9010S processor. Both displays support 120Hz refresh rates. Each phone will run EMUI 16 and carry a 7,000mAh battery supporting 100W charging.
