Huawei Nova 15 Pro: Premium Design and Power-Packed Performance

Huawei has officially launched the Nova 15 Pro in China, and a global rollout, including a highly anticipated launch in the Middle East, is expected very soon. The expected price in Gulf countries like Saudi Arabia and UAE is given above. These prices, based on the previous model’s launch trends, suggest that Huawei is aiming to deliver a flagship-level experience at a competitive price point for its Middle Eastern fans.

The Nova 15 Pro marks a significant leap in build quality and display technology compared to its predecessor. Moving away from the plastic frame and back of the Huawei Nova 14 Pro, the new model boasts an ultra-slim 6.9mm aluminum alloy frame and a sleek metal back, giving it a truly unique and premium feel. The display has been upgraded to a 6.84-inch LTPO OLED flat panel with a stunning 1320p resolution and an industry-leading 4000 nits peak brightness. Protected by the durable Kunlun glass on higher variants, this screen is built to be as tough as it is beautiful.

Under the hood, the performance sees a major boost with the new Kirin 9010S chip, replacing the Kirin 8020. While the Chinese version runs HarmonyOS 6.0, the global (Gulf) variant is expected to feature EMUI 16.0 with full 5G support. Although it relies on Huawei’s AppGallery instead of the Play Store, the phone compensates with massive upgrades elsewhere—including a gargantuan 6500mAh battery with 100W fast charging. With refined camera sensors and the latest Bluetooth 6.0 and WiFi 7 connectivity, the Nova 15 Pro is set to be a strong contender in the premium mid-range segment.

Huawei nova 15 Pro Battery

6500mAh Non-Removable Lithium-ion Polymer (Silicon Anode) Battery
100W Wired Fast Charging | SCP, UFCS, PD, PPS, QC
5W Wired Reverse Charging

Pros	Cons
Premium Build: A significant upgrade from plastic to a slim 6.9mm aluminum alloy frame and a metal back, giving it a much more premium and durable feel.	Front Camera Downgrade: It loses the dual portrait lens setup (50MP + 8MP) of the Nova 14 Pro, moving to a single 50MP portrait lens.
Superior Display: The shift to a flat LTPO OLED display with a higher 1320p resolution and a massive 4000 nits peak brightness makes it one of the best screens in its class.	Outdated USB Standard: It still uses USB 2.0, which means slower data transfer speeds via cable compared to modern flagship standards.
Massive Battery: The battery capacity has jumped from 5500mAh to 6500mAh, which is exceptional for such a slim (6.9mm) device.	No Wireless Charging: Despite the premium metal build and high price point, wireless charging is still missing.
Performance Boost: The upgrade to the Kirin 9010S chipset offers better processing power and efficiency than the older Kirin 8020.	Water Resistance: The IP65 rating remains unchanged, meaning it is protected against splashes but cannot be submerged in water (unlike IP68 found in competitors).
Latest Connectivity: Supports WiFi 7 and the new Bluetooth 6.0 standard for faster and more stable wireless connections.	Incremental Rear Camera Update: Only the ultrawide macro lens saw a resolution bump; the main and telephoto sensors remain the same as the previous model.
Enhanced Durability: The use of Kunlun Glass in high-storage variants provides excellent drop resistance.	Software Ecosystem: The lack of native Google Play Services (relying on AppGallery) might still be a challenge for some global users.
5G Support: Even if not officially confirmed, the newer Kirin chips generally support 5G networks, which is a major plus for global users.	–
