Huawei is gearing up to launch the Nova 15 series in China, and leading the trio is the attention-grabbing Huawei Nova 15 Ultra. With a dual front camera, bold finishes, and a revamped rear camera layout, this model stands out from its siblings and most smartphones in its class.
Huawei Nova 15 Ultra makes a style-first statement
From the first images, Huawei clearly wants the Nova 15 Ultra to leave a mark. The Ultra model flaunts a large, circular camera bump that recalls the rumored iPhone 17 Pro layout. But instead of three floating lenses, Huawei has grouped them inside a uniform ring that slightly rises from the back less awkward, more deliberate.
The white and black versions feature a matte metal finish. Meanwhile, the blue and green options sport a glossy coat paired with a deeply textured surface, giving them both a visual and tactile edge. These design tweaks aren’t just for looks they also offer a better grip.
The Vivo S50 launches with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip, 5,000-nit AMOLED display, 50 MP periscope camera, and flagship-level specs at a mid-range price.
Dual selfie cameras separate the Huawei Nova 15 Ultra
One key differentiator for the Huawei Nova 15 Ultra is the front setup. A pill-shaped cutout on the flat display houses two selfie cameras. This hints at advanced facial recognition or depth sensing, but Huawei hasn’t confirmed details yet.
On the back, the main module holds three cameras arranged in a tight circle. The second outer ring features an LED flash and two unknown sensors possibly related to imaging or AR functions. Buyers can choose from 256 GB, 512 GB, or a hefty 1 TB of storage.
Nova 15 Pro trims down but keeps essentials
The Huawei Nova 15 Pro closely follows the Ultra’s aesthetic but drops one of the two mystery sensors. Still, it retains the same triple camera setup on the back and dual selfie cameras up front. It shares the Ultra’s color palette: black, white, green, and purple, and comes with either 256 GB or 512 GB storage options.
Huawei Nova 15 skips fancy extras
The base Huawei Nova 15 Ultra it’s not but that’s the point. The standard Nova 15 keeps things simpler with just two rear cameras and a single front-facing shooter. There’s no dual-camera cutout, and the bulky circular module is gone too. It’s the entry-level option for those who want the Nova design language without the extras.
Key differences in the Huawei Nova 15 lineup
Here’s how the three stack up:
- Nova 15 Ultra: Dual selfie cameras, triple rear cameras, large ring module, up to 1 TB storage
- Nova 15 Pro: Dual selfie cameras, triple rear cameras, smaller ring, max 512 GB
- Nova 15: Single selfie cam, dual rear cameras, no ring design
Huawei Nova 15 Ultra leads with ambition
Huawei isn’t just refreshing the Nova line it’s giving it a fresh attitude. The Nova 15 Ultra in particular brings hardware swagger and visual confidence. If Huawei nails performance and pricing, this lineup could end the year on a loud note. Sometimes, style speaks first and this time, it might just get the last word.
