HUAWEI has unveiled the nova 14 series in China, led by the HUAWEI nova 14 Ultra — the fanciest of the three.
While the company hasn’t officially disclosed the chipset they used on the HUAWEI nova 14 Ultra, leaked benchmarks reveal that it is a Kirin 8020 processor that brings 5G connectivity and clock speeds of up to 2.29GHz.
A key feature here is the fancier display. It uses the latest LTPO 3.0 OLED panel that’s 6.81 inches in size, has curves on all four corners, a whopping 5,500 nits of peak brightness, and Kunlun glass protection.
There’s a pill-shaped notch on top for the extra-sharp 50-megapixel selfie camera with ultra-wide support and a dedicated 8-megapixel portrait lens with 2x zoom.
We then have a trio of impressive cameras on the back, aided by a dedicated spectral sensor. The 50-megapixel main shooter has optical image stabilization and f/1.4-f/4.0 variable aperture.
We also have a 50-megapixel periscope lens with 3.7x optical zoom and a 13-megapixel ultra-wide lens.
It then has a large 5,500mAh battery made with silicon-carbon technology. It supports 100W fast charging.
Two-way satellite connectivity works in China. The device is also IP68/69 water and dust resistant. Of course, it will ship with the latest HUAWEI nova 14 Ultra
They didn’t reveal the RAM capacity, but the HUAWEI nova 14 Ultra will be available in 256GB, 512GB, 1TB storage options with a price of CNY4,199 (~Php32,400), CNY4,499 (~33,900), and CNY4,999 (~38,600), respectively.
