The Huawei nova 15 has officially launched in China, bringing significant internal upgrades and a more premium build compared to the previous generation Huawei nova 14. While the 6.7-inch FHD+ 10-bit OLED display and IP65 rating remain unchanged, the device feels more substantial in hand thanks to a shift from a full plastic body to a plastic frame with a metal back. Performance is a major highlight, as the chipset jumps from the Kirin 8000 to the Kirin 8020, which Huawei claims provides up to a 42% boost. Connectivity also sees a leap forward with the inclusion of Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0, ensuring the device is future-proofed for the fastest wireless standards.

The camera system has been redesigned with a focus on color accuracy over sheer lens count. While the 50MP main and 12MP telephoto (3x optical zoom) cameras return, the dedicated 8MP ultrawide-macro lens has been replaced by a 1.5m multi-spectral “Red Maple” sensor designed to capture more natural and vivid colors. Selfie enthusiasts will still find the high-quality 50MP 4K front camera. To power these upgrades, the battery capacity has been increased from 5500mAh to 6000mAh, retaining the impressive 100W wired fast charging that can top up the phone in under an hour.

With the China launch complete, the Huawei nova 15 is expected to arrive in the KSA and GCC markets soon. Based on the launch pricing of the nova 14, estimated prices are likely to start around SAR 1,499 in Saudi Arabia and AED 1,399 in the UAE. Similar competitive pricing is expected across Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain, making it a strong contender in the mid-range segment for those prioritizing performance, battery life, and refined aesthetics.

Huawei nova 15 Pros and Cons

Pros

Cons

Premium Build: The switch from an all-plastic body to a metal back makes the phone feel more luxurious and durable, putting it closer to the “Pro” models in terms of hand-feel.Stagnant Display: There is no upgrade to the screen; it uses the exact same 6.7-inch display as the nova 14. If you were hoping for higher brightness or better resolution, you won’t find it here.
Performance Leap: The Kirin 8020 chipset provides a significant 42% boost in processing speed over the Kirin 8000, making it much better for gaming and multitasking.Camera Trade-off: While the new color sensor is great for portraits, the loss of the ultrawide-macro camera means you lose the ability to take those super close-up shots or ultra-wide landscape photos.
Massive Battery: Upgrading to a 6000mAh battery while keeping the phone thin is a huge win, especially paired with the ultra-fast 100W charging.No IP-Rating Improvement: It keeps the IP65 rating, which is fine for rain but doesn’t offer the full “waterproof” submergence protection (IP68) found on some competitors or the nova 15 Pro.
Performance Boost: The upgrade to the Kirin 9010S chipset offers better processing power and efficiency than the older Kirin 8020.Familiar Design: Aside from the back material, the physical look and the plastic frame remain largely the same, which might feel “boring” to users looking for a fresh aesthetic.
Future-Proof Connectivity: With Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0, you are getting the latest wireless standards which were previously reserved for high-end flagships.Software Ecosystem: The lack of native Google Play Services (relying on AppGallery) might still be a challenge for some global users.
Better Color Accuracy: The new 1.5m multi-spectral sensor helps the camera capture more lifelike skin tones and accurate colors compared to a standard lens

  • How does the Kirin 8020 perform compared to the previous Kirin 8000?

    The Kirin 8020 provides a significant performance leap. Huawei states it offers up to a 42% boost in overall performance compared to the Kirin 8000. This makes the nova 15 much more capable for high-frame-rate gaming and smoother multitasking in HarmonyOS.

  • Why was the ultrawide camera removed for a “multi-spectral” sensor?

    Huawei replaced the 8MP ultrawide/macro lens with a 1.5m multi-spectral “Red Maple” sensor. While you lose the wide-angle field of view, this new sensor is designed to capture significantly more accurate colors, better skin tones, and improved lighting data for the main 50MP RYYB camera, prioritizing professional-grade portrait quality over lens variety.

  • Is the display any different from the nova 14?

    No, the display remains a 6.7-inch FHD+ 10-bit OLED flat panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. While it is a high-quality screen with great color accuracy, there have been no upgrades to resolution or brightness levels this year.

  • What are the benefits of the new Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0 support?

    These are major connectivity upgrades. Wi-Fi 7 allows for much faster data speeds and lower latency (perfect for cloud gaming), while Bluetooth 6.0 offers better range and more stable connections for wireless earbuds. The nova 14 was limited to Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2.

  • How much will the Huawei nova 15 cost in the KSA and UAE?

    While official GCC pricing is yet to be confirmed, it is expected to follow the launch price of the nova 14. Estimated prices are approximately SAR 1,499 in Saudi Arabia and AED 1,399 in the UAE for the base storage model.
