Huawei Nova 14 Ultra launches with variable aperture camera and bright screen
Huawei has officially launched the Nova 14 series in China, which brings three new phones: a standard, a Pro, and an Ultra. Among the three, the Ultra is the most feature-packed, and one of the main highlights of the smartphone is a bright screen. The company claims that the display has a dynamic peak brightness rating of 5,500 nits, which should lead to bright images in challenging lighting conditions.
This 6.81-inch LTPO OLED screen also has an adaptive refresh rate ranging from 1 Hz to 120 Hz. Huawei notes that the 1 Hz mode is currently supported on 18 major apps. There are AI-enhanced eye protection features, and the display is protected with Kunlun glass.
Another highlight of the Huawei Nova 14 Ultra is the rear camera setup. This setup sports three sensors: one 50 MP primary with variable aperture, a 50 MP periscope telephoto, and one 13 MP ultrawide with macro lens. Among the three, the former two have OIS, and the primary sensor sports an "anti-shake" lens.
On the front, the Nova 14 Ultra features a dual-camera setup, with one 50 MP f/2.0 portrait and one 8 MP f/2.2 sensor with 5x zoom. Both the rear and front camera setups are backed by AI-enhanced features, including a night scene mode for nightography.
The internals of the smartphone are powered by a 5,500 mAh battery with support for 100 W fast charging (140 W Anker 737 power bank curr. $109.99 on Amazon). Other notable aspects of the phone include IP69 dust and water resistance rating, rounded corners, and WiFi 7. Huawei hasn't disclosed the SoC inside the phone but shared the storage options and Chinese prices for the Nova 14 Ultra. The base config with 256 GB of storage costs CNY 4,199, about $582, while the mid-range option with 512 GB of storage costs CNY 4,499, around $624.
As for the top-end option, it comes with 1 TB of storage, and it costs CNY 4,999, about $693. The company has yet to announce global availability and pricing details for the new mid-range smartphone.
