Huawei nova 16 SE officially announced: Pre-orders start at 12:08! Design revealed.

Huawei nova 16 SE is officially announced today, will debut at the Zun Jie Era flagship MPV and Huawei all-scenario new product launch event at 14:30, pre-orders start at 12:08 today.

The official also revealed the new phone's design: a flat screen with a single punch-hole on the front, and a gradient design on the back similar to the Pura series, featuring a horizontally arranged matrix rear camera setup.

According to leaks, apart from this predominantly blue color, the new phone will also come in black, white, and orange, totaling four color options.

It features the first-generation Red Maple Original Color Imaging, with an expected price range of 2000-3000 yuan. This also marks the first time Red Maple has been introduced to mid-to-low-end models.

It's worth noting that SE was an early naming scheme for the Huawei nova series, with previous models including the nova 6 SE, nova 7 SE, nova 8 SE, nova 9 SE, nova 10 SE, and nova 11 SE.

However, starting from the nova 12 series, Huawei had not launched any nova SE models in the domestic market for several generations. This marks the return of the SE lineup to the domestic market after a multi-year hiatus.

Red Maple Original Color Imaging was first introduced with the Huawei Mate 70 series. It uses a Red Maple Original Color camera to capture environmental color information across a wider spectral range, improving color recognition and reproduction accuracy, making skin tones, scenery, and complex lighting colors in photos closer to what the human eye sees.

Currently, Red Maple Original Color Imaging has been upgraded to the second generation, debuting with the Huawei Mate 80 series.

In terms of specific configurations, the Huawei nova 16 SE is expected to be powered by the Kirin 8020 chip.
