Alongside the Nova 15, Huawei has officially launched the Nova 15 Pro and Nova 15 Ultra smartphones in China, positioning them as premium mid-range devices with a strong focus on imaging and AI features.
Nova 15 Pro & Ultra Specifications
Both the Nova 15 Pro and Ultra feature a 6.84-inch OLED flat display with a resolution of 2856×1320 pixels, 10.7 billion colors, and P3 wide color gamut. The panel supports 1-120Hz LTPO adaptive refresh rate and reaches up to 4000 nits peak brightness. The Ultra version adds 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming and enhanced Kunlun Glass protection with anti-reflective treatment. Huawei has also integrated AI HDR and dynamic eye-care features across both models.
Both devices are powered by Huawei’s in-house Kirin 9010S chipset and run HarmonyOS 6. The company claims an 18% performance boost over the previous generation, with improved system fluency and gaming frame rate stability enabled by HarmonyOS-level hardware-software optimization.
In terms of camera specs, both phones debut Huawei’s Dual Red Maple Imaging system. On the front, they use a 50MP ultra-sensing portrait camera paired with a Red Maple multispectral sensor, supporting 4K video recording and AIS stabilization.
The rear camera setup on the Nova 15 Ultra features three 50MP RYYB sensors: a main camera with a physical variable aperture (f/1.4-f/4.0) and OIS, a 50MP periscope telephoto with 3.7x optical and 100x digital zoom, and a 50MP ultra-wide macro shooter. It also features a 1.5MP Red Maple color sensor that enhances color reproduction. The Pro model swaps out the periscope lens for a 12MP telephoto portrait camera and uses a 13MP ultra-wide macro sensor. It also drops the variable aperture from the main lens.
Both models house a 6500mAh silicon-based battery. They support 100W wired Huawei SuperCharge Turbo 3. The Ultra model adds 50W wireless charging and 7.5W reverse wireless charging.
The Nova 15 Ultra includes dual satellite communication capabilities (Beidou image messaging and Tiantong voice), IP68 and IP69 water and dust resistance, stereo speakers with Audio Vivid certification, and advanced call noise reduction. It also supports NearLink digital car keys and lossless audio transmission up to 4.6Mbps. The Pro model skips satellite voice communication, offers IP65 protection, and lacks wireless charging. Both phones support Wi-Fi 7+, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, USB-C, and multi-band GNSS positioning.
