Huawei has officially unveiled its Nova 15 series in China, marking its latest midrange smartphone lineup. The series includes three models: the Nova 15, Nova 15 Pro, and Nova 15 Ultra. Each phone introduces Huawei’s new “dual-ring” design, improved cameras, faster processors, and larger batteries, offering a compelling upgrade for midrange users.
Huawei Nova 15 Ultra and Nova 15 Pro
The Nova 15 Ultra and Nova 15 Pro share many core specifications, including a 6.84-inch LTPO OLED display, boasting a resolution of 1,320 x 2,856 pixels.

A pill-shaped cutout on the front houses a 50MP selfie camera alongside a 1.5MP multispectral sensor, enhancing user experience in photography.
At the back, Huawei’s innovative dual-ring design elegantly frames the camera systems. The Nova 15 Ultra is equipped with three 50MP RYYB sensors, featuring a main lens that boasts a variable aperture ranging from f/1.4 to f/4.0, alongside optical image stabilization (OIS). Additionally, it includes a periscope telephoto lens capable of 3.7x optical zoom and an ultrawide lens with a 118-degree field of view, making it a versatile choice for photography enthusiasts.
