The Huawei Nova 16z, Nova 16, Nova 16 Pro, and Nova 16 Ultra have officially launched. 

The new series has arrived as a much bigger family than its predecessor, the Nova 15 series. While it retains the monikers of the three earlier series members, the lineup now includes a Z variant, which serves as the budget model. 

While the vanilla model offers a balance between budget and specs, the Pro and Ultra boast flagship details. The Pro variant serves as an affordable flagship of the series, while the Ultra offers all the high-end features, including the lineup’s best camera, stronger protection ratings, and wireless and reverse charging support.
