HUAWEI unveiled the nova 14 series in China, with the Ultra variant standing out of the pack with new features such as an LTPO 3.0 OLED panel and a 50-megapixel periscope camera.
The nova 14 Ultra‘s display is a 6.81-inch quad-curved panel with a Full HD+ resolution and a 120hz adaptive refresh rate. HUAWEI claims that the LTPO 3.0 panel it uses offers improvements in power efficiency, along with 5500nits of peak brightness. Protecting it is HUAWEI’s Kunlun glass. The pill-shaped punch-hole has a 50-megapixel ultrawide selfie camera and an 8-megapixel telephoto selfie with 2x optical zoom.
The rear camera setup is packed: aside from the spectral sensor, you have a 50-megapixel main camera with f/1.4-4.0 variable aperture and OIS, 13-megapixel ultrawide, and a new periscope with 3.7x optical zoom. All three cameras use a RYYB sensor.
Keeping the lights on is a 5500mAh silicon-carbon battery with support for 100w charging, and has an IP68 rating, satellite connectivity, and HarmonyOS 5 out of the box.
Moving to the nova 14 Pro, you get the same set of selfie cameras found on the Ultra variant, while the display is smaller at 6.7 inches–but still an LTPO panel. You get the same main camera as the Ultra variant, with the other two cameras being a 12-megapixel telephoto and 8-megapixel ultrawide. The battery is the same at 5500mAh, along with support for 100w charging, though the IP rating is dialed down at IP65.
Rounding up the lineup is the nova 14, which has a 6.7-inch OLED panel and a punch-hole for a 50-megapixel selfie camera. Its rear camera consists of a 50-megapixel camera and the same ultrawide and telephoto cameras as the Pro model.
The nova 14 starts at CNY 2699(~Php 21k) for the 256GB variant, while the Pro model starts at CNY 3499(~Php 28k). The Ultra model starts at CNY 4199(~Php 33k). Following previous trends with the nova series, we expect at least the standard and Pro model to have a global release.
