- The pair are export versions of Huawei's Chinese nova 16 line.
- Both have 7,000mAh batteries and 100W wired charging.
- Both include a 50MP periscope zoom camera.
- The Pro has a 6.84-inch display with peak brightness quoted at 6,000 nits; the standard model has a 6.68-inch panel at 5,500 nits.
- The Pro adds a 200MP main camera.
- Both run Huawei's own Kirin silicon with 5G.
- The export models run EMUI 16, based on Android 16, rather than the HarmonyOS build sold in China.

Why it matters
A 749-euro phone with a 7,000mAh battery, 100W charging and a 200MP camera is aggressive hardware for the money in Europe, but the absence of Google services still decides whether most European buyers can use it.
