Editorial report
Huawei nova 15 Ultra 12 GB / 512 GB / China technical sheet
The Huawei nova 15 Ultra suits buyers who prioritize an advanced display, versatile cameras, and fast charging. Its headline combination is a 6.8 mm body and a 6.84″ LTPO OLED display with 460 ppi and up to 4,000 nits. A 90.4% usable surface and IP68/IP69 protection add to the package.
The main camera pairs 50 MP with an f/1.4 aperture and optical stabilization; that aperture is among the best of its time. The telephoto camera adds 3.7x optical zoom, also one of the strongest figures among phones launched around the same time. Its 6,500 mAh battery supports 100 W wired charging and 50 W wireless charging, with both figures among the highest of their time. Reverse charging is included as well.
Overall, the Huawei nova 15 Ultra is better than most phones of its time. The display, cameras, and battery are its clearest strengths, while performance is typical. The configuration shown has 12 GB / 256 GB, although the phone is sold from 12 GB / 256 GB up to 12 GB / 1 TB. The drawback is that HarmonyOS 6 has no direct OS updates. With a NeoScore of 8.2, it suits buyers seeking a feature-rich Huawei focused on imaging and charging.
