The UnboxingTN Verdict

out of 100

The Nova 16 Ultra combines strong performance, versatile cameras and a superb display, but 4G connectivity and its heavy body limit its appeal.

What is good

  • 7000 mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging
  • 200 MP main, 50 MP telephoto and 50 MP ultrawide cameras
  • 6.84-inch 120Hz OLED display with 460 ppi

What is not

  • 4G cellular connectivity lacks newer-generation mobile networks
  • USB 2.0 Type-C is slow for data transfers
  • 220 g weight makes the 163 mm phone feel substantial

How the score breaks down

  • Performance 88
  • Camera 86
  • Display 82
  • Battery 79
