Huawei officially launched the nova 16 series in Chengdu. This is a milestone product for the tenth anniversary of the nova series, covering three models: nova 16

On June 1, 2026, Huawei officially launched the nova 16 series in Chengdu. This is a milestone product for the tenth anniversary of the nova series, covering three models: nova 16, nova 16 Pro, and nova 16 Ultra. The entire series starts at 2999 yuan, with the nova 16 Pro starting at 3899 yuan. It will officially go on sale across all channels on June 5 at 10:08.

Industry insiders predict that the nova 16 will likely face another shortage of units.

In the first quarter of 2026, Huawei’s domestic mobile phone market share had rebounded to approximately 20%, with the nova and Enjoy series contributing over 60% of sales.

In other words, the nova 16 is likely to be the best-selling mid-range phone both online and offline in June this year.

The nova 16 series not only features the Kirin 9010S chip, a 7000mAh battery, and a 200MP image sensor across the entire lineup, but also includes a crucial change for in-store screen protector application services—a return to a flat screen design across the entire series.

What does this mean?

It significantly reduces the difficulty of screen protector application, and will greatly improve the efficiency of in-store screen protector application services for new phones.

Many new phone buyers and store owners may have this question:

Is it easy to apply screen protectors to the nova16’s flat screen? Which screen protector is the best fit? How can stores handle the surge in new phone orders?

Frankly, while flat screen protectors are easier to apply than curved or foldable screen protectors, off-brand protectors and pre-made protectors with incompatible specifications can still cause issues like white edges, uneven screen protectors, and unresponsive touch controls. Furthermore, with the launch of new phones, pre-made protectors are often poorly stocked and inconsistent in compatibility, easily leading to application problems and numerous after-sales issues.

To perfectly adapt to all nova16 models and handle the massive number of screen protector orders for these new phones, the DEVIA Ultra All-Purpose Automatic Screen Protector Cutting Machine + Ultra series screen protectors are currently the most reliable and worry-free solution for stores.

The Nova16’s flat screen benefits, leading to a surge in screen protector demand.

The entire Huawei nova16 series comes standard with a high refresh rate OLED flat screen, supporting high-frequency eye-protection dimming. The screen offers a delicate viewing experience and responsive touch.

Whether for everyday tasks like watching videos or playing games, the experience far surpasses that of older curved screen models.

Furthermore, the new phone uses Kunlun glass, which is inherently drop-resistant and scratch-resistant. Users’ screen protector needs are no longer limited to simply preventing screen breakage; they also prioritize maintaining a good feel, resisting fingerprints, preventing minor scratches, and providing long-lasting protection for the new phone.

However, the current market for face masks is complex and diverse, making it easy for stores to encounter problems:

❌ Incompatible universal screen protectors, leaving blank edges and obstructing screen visibility.

❌ Inferior hard screen protectors with inaccurate hardness claims, rough cuts, and prone to edge lifting.

❌ Ordinary soft screen protectors easily yellow and attract fingerprints, lowering the perceived quality of a new device.

❌ New device models are too new; many older devices have outdated databases, resulting in a lack of screen protectors available.

In other words, the nova16 doesn’t lack demand for screen protectors; what it lacks is a precisely compatible, high-quality, and foolproof screen protector solution. This presents a perfect opportunity for stores to differentiate themselves and capture new device traffic.

Paired with DEVIA Ultra self-healing film, the best feel for the nova16

The nova16 itself has a light and smooth feel when held without a screen protector, and its screen is clear and high-definition. The biggest fear with screen protectors is that they will be heavy, greasy, or obstruct the screen’s texture.

✅ Long-lasting hydrophobic and oleophobic properties: Features a golden waterdrop notch, resisting fingerprints, sweat, and oil, eliminating a greasy, dull screen and keeping your device looking brand new.

✅ No sticking or white edges: Precise cutting and flexible, highly elastic material perfectly fit the curvature of the nova16, ensuring a tight, stable fit without lifting edges, solving the common problem of ordinary screen protectors failing.

Stores can also offer dye-sublimation printers to customize back films and creative stickers for nova16 users, unlocking differentiated value-added services, increasing average order value and customer repeat purchases.
