Nova 15 Ultra debuts with triple 50 MP cameras and 120 Hz OLED
Huawei has officially launched the Nova 15 Ultra as the top-tier model in its latest Nova 15 smartphone series. While still aimed at the mid-range, this device packs enough hardware to turn heads, including a 120 Hz OLED display, three 50 MP cameras, and Huawei’s latest Kirin 9010S chipset.
Nova 15 Ultra gets sleek new dual-ring design
One of the most visible changes is the new dual-ring camera layout, setting the Nova 15 Ultra apart from past models. It’s not just for show either inside those rings are three 50 MP RYYB sensors: a stabilized main camera, a 3.7x periscope telephoto lens, and an ultrawide shooter with a 118° field of view. On the front, there’s a 50 MP selfie cam alongside a 1.5 MP multispectral sensor, all tucked into a pill-shaped cutout.

Kirin 9010S powers the Nova 15 Ultra
At the heart of the Nova 15 Ultra is the Kirin 9010S Huawei’s latest in-house processor. It offers an 18% performance bump over the previous Kirin 8020 chip, according to Huawei. While it’s not built to go toe-to-toe with flagship silicon like Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, it’s more than enough for multitasking and high-refresh gameplay on this device’s 6.84-inch LTPO OLED screen.
The panel delivers a 120 Hz refresh rate, peak brightness of 4,000 nits, and 2856 x 1320 resolution. Kunlun glass adds drop and scratch resistance, making it one of the tougher mid-tier phones on the market.
Here’s what the Nova 15 Ultra offers:
- 6.84-inch 120 Hz LTPO OLED display
- Triple 50 MP rear cameras (main, telephoto, ultrawide)
- 50 MP + 1.5 MP dual front camera
- Kirin 9010S chip with 18% performance gain
- 6,500 mAh silicon-carbon battery
- 100 W wired / 50 W wireless charging
- IP68 and IP69 water resistance
- Harmony OS 6.0
- Satellite connectivity, stereo speakers
Pricing and availability
The Nova 15 Ultra is already available for pre-order in China via Vmall. Pricing starts at CNY 2,999 (~$596) for the 256 GB model, with 512 GB and 1 TB versions priced at CNY 4,499 (~$639) and CNY 4,999 (~$710) respectively. It’s offered in purple, green, white, and phantom night black.
There’s no confirmation yet on international availability, but given the specs and aggressive pricing, Huawei may position this model globally as a premium-value flagship alternative.
